Hachioji Riding Club in Hachioji City, Tokyo, will hold the "Associate Member Fair" from Monday, March 2, 2026, to Wednesday, July 1, 2026. This is a limited-time, three-month trial membership plan for those who want to start horseback riding but are hesitant about becoming a full member right away or are unsure if they will continue. Why not escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and rejuvenate your mind and body through dialogue with horses?

Just 40 minutes from Shinjuku. The moment you step off the shuttle bus from Hachioji Station, you are greeted by rich nature and the breath of horses. Surrender yourself to the sway of the horse and synchronize your rhythm. It is truly "meditation in motion," allowing you to forget the busyness of everyday life and achieve deep relaxation.

【Time spent with horses nurtures mind and body】

① Stop thinking, open your senses. Horseback riding as "meditation in motion"

☑ Highly recommended for: Working generation (20s-50s): Digital detox and a moment of "healing"

As you start riding a horse, you will feel your shoulders naturally relax with its comfortable sway, and you will concentrate on the dialogue with your partner in front of you. For the working generation, who are exposed to vast amounts of information daily, time spent with horses is the ultimate "digital detox." Put away your smartphone and focus on the horse's warmth and breathing. In the process of synchronizing your breath with a wordless horse, you will be liberated from the daily digital busyness, and your senses will be sharpened. In the nature of Hachioji, touching the warmth of a horse, you can reset yourself to a flat state. We offer such a luxurious healing and refreshing experience. Just 40 minutes from the city center, why not treat yourself after your hard work?

② Approach to inner muscles that brings out dignified beauty

☑ Highly recommended for: Senior generation (60s): "Health maintenance" and "muscle strength improvement" that can be continued with enjoyment

Horseback riding gently stimulates the "core muscles (inner muscles)," which are difficult to consciously engage in daily life, by unconsciously balancing against the horse's delicate movements. Although it may seem like you are just sitting, riding a horse is an aerobic exercise that uses muscles throughout the body in a balanced way. Instead of tensing up, maintaining a correct riding posture naturally straightens your back and leads to a supple and dignified demeanor from within. In particular, you can train the muscles around the hip joints and the core, which are important for walking, in a gentle and enjoyable way. Even those who are not good at exercise can efficiently maintain their body with the help of horses. Animal therapy effects from interacting with horses can also be expected, supporting a healthy mind and body every day.

③ All instructors are certified. "Adult learning" supported by trust

At our club, all instructors hold certified qualifications from the "National Federation of Riding Clubs of Japan." From beginners who "just want to get along with horses" to those who "want to acquire a license as a lifelong hobby." We promise safe and steady progress with support based on professional knowledge and skills. You can enjoy it deeply and for a long time as an "adult hobby" that goes beyond mere leisure.
