World Market Inc. (Chuo-ku, Osaka; CEO: Go Araki) will hold the 6th OSAKA Horse Fair, Kansai's largest horse festival, at the Osaka Nanko ATC Hall for two days on Saturday, June 27, and Sunday, June 28, 2026.
This event is a 'comprehensive horse exposition' where all fields related to horses, including horse riding, horse racing, equine therapy, and saddlery, come together beyond their boundaries. Now in its 6th year, the event has expanded further, with a record-breaking 60+ booths exhibiting. We will invite a lineup of distinguished guests representing various fields, including Mr. Kazuma Tomoto, a member of the 'Shuro Japan' team that won a medal at the Paris Olympics for the first time in 92 years; Mr. Ryuji Wada, a horse racing legend who became a trainer in March 2026; and Mr. Katsuhiko Sumii, a master trainer who has led the Japanese horse racing world.
The venue will offer a variety of sensory-rich content, including one of Japan's largest horse-themed goods markets, pop-ups for the latest riding brands, a popular pony show for children, and a horse riding experience to feel the warmth of horses in the middle of the city. Top athletes to researchers will gather to propose new forms of 'human-horse symbiosis' from multiple perspectives such as sports, medicine, and lifestyle.
