Set beneath rows of blooming cherry trees, female riders dressed in elegant traditional attire command their horses while skillfully drawing their bows—an unforgettable sight. Don’t miss the rare opportunity to witness refined Japanese equestrian archery performed on native Japanese horses, a true highlight of this event.
