All Reviews for Driving and Riding Activities

I always wanted to ride a rickshaw at least once in my life! Since I came to Tokyo with my mother, I decided to go for it and made a reservation. The weather was nice, and the rickshaw puller's stories were really enjoyable!

人生で一度は乗ってみたかった人力車！
母と東京に来たので、思いきって予約してみました。
お天気も良く俥夫さんの話もとても楽しかったです！

We rented the E Bikes on two separate days. The delivery and pick up at our hotel was a wonderful service. Hajime went above and beyond in customer service.

Bicycle riding on the island is a perfect way to get some exercise and see the sights. Drivers are courteous and traffic is sparse on the main and side roads. I highly recommend this opportunity!

I had an absolutely wonderful time. First, we each took turns riding and moved inside the enclosure while holding the reins. There, we received simple instructions on how to operate, and we rode a few laps inside the enclosure. The teaching was thorough and easy to understand, and I gradually got the hang of it despite being inexperienced.

Then, we all went on a tour around the large grounds, visiting various places. Along the way, the staff took photos and videos, making it an incredibly enjoyable experience. There were moments when we ran or made big movements, which added a thrilling element, but I had so much fun riding that I wanted to do it again and wished I could ride for a longer time!

めちゃくちゃ楽しかったです。
まずは1人ずつ乗らせてもらって手綱を持って柵の中まで移動します。そこで簡単に操作を教わり、柵の中を数周しました。
教え方が丁寧でわかりやすく、慣れない中少しずつ出来てきました。
そうするとみんなで大きな敷地を周遊するようにいろんなところへ行きました。
道中はスタッフの方が写真や動画を撮ってくださり、めちゃくちゃいい体験になりました。
時折走ったり、大きく動くこともありスリリングなこともありましたが、楽しく乗馬出来て何度もやりたいと思いましたし、もっと長い時間乗っていたいなと思える体験でした！

This was my second horseback riding experience, and the instructors clearly taught me how to give commands to the horse within the enclosure. When we finally went outside the enclosure, the instructors provided precise advice on what to pay attention to, which made me feel like I was actually riding well. The sun came out partway through, and the surrounding scenery was really beautiful! The driver for the pickup was also very nice, and we had a great conversation during the ride. I highly recommend this experience without a doubt. If you're considering it, definitely enjoy the horseback riding experience!

乗馬体験は2鞍めでしたが柵内でしっかりと馬への指示の出し方等を分かりやすく教えて頂きました
いよいよ柵の外へ出てもインストラクターの方々が注意点を的確にアドバイス下さって、自分も少し乗れているのかなと思える様に感じられました
途中から日射しも出てきて周りの景色もとても良かったですね♪
送迎のドライバーさんもとても良い方で道中楽しくお話も出来ました
バッチリオススメ間違いないですよ
ちょっと考えている方是非乗馬体験を楽しんで下さいね。

If you're going to play in the Niseko area park, I definitely recommend eMTB. It helps conserve your energy, making it useful for longer playtime. It might not be suitable for those who want to jump or do intense activities.

ニセコエリアのパークで遊ぶなら絶対にeMTBがおすすめです。体力温存できるので、長く遊ぶにも役立ちます。ジャンプや激しいことをしたいひとには不向きかもしれません。

During a business trip to Tokyo, I took my first-ever rickshaw ride in Asakusa. Even though it was morning, it was a hot day where just standing made me sweat, but I received very polite service. I was lucky to have a young man named Shima, who was passionate about his work, as my rickshaw puller. It became a wonderful memory.

仕事で東京に行った際、浅草で人生初めての人力車に乗りました。午前中とはいえ、立っているだけでも汗が湧き出てくる暑い日でしたが、大変丁寧な対応をして頂けました。この仕事にやり甲斐を持っている好青年のしまちゃんが担当でラッキーでした。とても良い思い出になりました。

I thought that 10,000 yen for 30 minutes was expensive, but I was convinced. Since it was in the evening, the temperature was still comfortable, but I imagined it must be really tough for the rickshaw pullers during the hot daytime. They explained the streets to us and were considerate of the uneven surfaces. It became a wonderful memory of my trip. Thank you very much.

30分で1万円は高いかなと思っていましたが、納得でした。夕方の利用だったためまだ過ごしやすい気温でしたが、日中の暑い時は俥夫さんは本当に大変だろうなあと思いました。街並みについて解説してもらい、段差等にも配慮いただきました。旅のよい思い出になりました。ありがとうございました。

In my case, there were no other participants, and it was basically sports. The guide, Mr. Suzuki, adjusts the course and pace according to the participants. At each destination, I was able to enjoy adventurous elements, such as peering into a mystical pond, encountering a pheasant, and finding a deer skull.

私の場合、他に参加者はなく基本的にスポーツでした。ガイドの鈴木さんは、参加者に合わせてコースやペースをアレンジしてくれます。
行く先々で、幻想的な池を覗き込んだり、キジに出くわしたり、鹿の頭蓋骨があったりと、冒険的な要素があって楽しむことができました。

Despite being tossed around by the on-and-off rain, the refreshing experience and the guide were fantastic. The practice session before hitting the course was thorough, and there was plenty of time, so even beginners will be fine. There was also free time to ride, and I even asked for a video to be taken. This was the most enjoyable Segway experience I've had, including those abroad. It's a tour that both beginners and experienced riders can enjoy.

降ったりやんだりの雨に翻弄されたものの、爽快さとガイドさんがすごく良かった。
コースに出る前の練習が丁寧で、時間も十分あるので初めての人でも大丈夫です。途中で自由に走る時間があり、お願いして動画まで撮ってもらいました。
海外も含めて、今までで1番気持ちいいセグウェイでした。初めての人でも経験者でも楽しめるツアーです。

I enjoyed my first visit to Asakusa with fun conversations. Thank you.

I was recommended a 10-minute extension and requested it, but I felt like I could have managed without the extension if I had adjusted my time.

楽しいトークで
初めての浅草楽しめました。
ありがとう。

10分の延長を勧められて、頼みましたが、、
時間調整したら、10分延長しなくても
回れた様な気がしました。

When I arrived at the location on the map, it was a prefab facility that I wouldn't recommend at all. The elderly man who greeted me with a cigarette in his mouth seemed to be the owner.

His first words were, "I wonder why everyone comes to ride such an uncomfortable vehicle." Wow, that's pretty harsh!

Well, there was no sense of safety regarding horseback riding either, and when I mentioned that I had been riding since I was eight, I got a nonsensical response that didn't lead to any conversation.

I highly recommend it for those who are looking for a hard-boiled experience from the Showa era!

マップの場所に到着すると、およそベルトラおすすめとは思えないプレハブ施設。出迎えてくれた咥えタバコの老人がどうやらオーナー。

まず第一声が、こんな乗りにくい乗り物に何でみんな乗りに来るんだろうね、と聞かれました。おー、なかなかハード！

まぁ乗馬に関しても安全性のかけらも無いし、俺は8歳の頃から乗ってたから大丈夫と、わけのわからない返答が来て話にはなりません。

昭和のハードボイルドな経験を望んでいる人にはとてもおすすめです！

As the title suggests, it was a wonderful experience that felt like a dream come true, exploring vast pastures.

I started horseback riding this January, but I'm still just a beginner. I've ridden about 50 times, and my wife has ridden around 80 times, managing to do a bit of a trot. Here, depending on the horse and the situation, I was able to enjoy a good amount of trotting and cantering. The trot was fine, but since I had no experience with cantering (I haven't mastered the two-point position), I managed to ride using a bit of practice.

It felt strange to see the pastures lush and green in October, but galloping across the green fields overlooking the Pacific Ocean, with great weather and a fantastic mood, was truly a dream-like experience. It felt like I was able to practice the equivalent of 10 or 20 rides at an urban riding school all at once, but by the end, I was getting tired and ready to head back, and I was sore for the next couple of days.

The horse I rode, called "Ryo-kun" (though I don't remember well), was a bit slow to respond to cues and sometimes seemed to resist, so perhaps he wasn't feeling his best. I felt a bit sorry for him for making him work for 90 minutes. When walking straight, he tilted his head slightly to the right, which made me think he might have been favoring his left leg.

He seemed quite hungry, as he started eating grass as soon as we entered the pasture and didn't want to move. This caused a gap between us and the lead horses, so I hurried to catch up, which led to a lot of trotting and cantering on my part. It was almost like he was deciding to trot and canter on his own rather than following my instructions. At one point, I felt a sharp pain in my left foot, possibly from stepping on something, and Ryo-kun jumped to the right, spinning almost three-quarters of the way around. It was a bit scary, but thankfully, the soft pasture cushioned the fall. I thought I should have checked Ryo-kun's left hoof area.

On the way back, we relaxed at Noboribetsu Onsen, and since the airport was relatively close, the return trip was easy.

Once I improve a bit more, I definitely want to go again.

タイトルどおり、広大な牧草地を巡るという、かねてから思い描いていた夢が叶ったような素敵な体験でした。

今年の１月に乗馬を始めたのですが、と言っても初心者に少し毛が生えた程度。私が５０鞍、家内が８０鞍、軽速歩がなんとかできる、かな、です。こちらでは、乗るお馬さんやその時々の状況にもよると思いますが、かなりの頻度で速歩に駆足と「乗馬」を堪能できました。速歩はまぁいいとして、駆足は未経験だったので（正反動はマスターしていない）少し練習していたツーポイント（腰を浮かせて乗る）でなんとか乗れました。

１０月に牧草が青々と茂っているのは不思議な気がしましたが、遥かに太平洋を望む緑の草原を馬に乗って駆け巡る、天気も良く、気分は最高、それこそ夢のような体験でした。そうですね、都会の馬場の１０鞍分か２０鞍分の練習が一気にできてしまったようで、でも後半は疲れも出てそろそろ帰りたい気分だったし、翌日も翌々日も筋肉痛で・・・。

乗せていただいたお馬さんは、「リョウくん」と呼ばれていたようなのですが（実はよく覚えていない）合図を出しても中々動かなかったり、時々「イヤイヤ」をしていたので、あるいは体調が今一だったのかもしれず、９０分も付き合わせてしまってなんだか可哀相だったのかもしれません。真っすぐ歩くときも首を少し右に向けていたので、重心を右に寄せて左足をかばっていたのか、素人考えですが、そんな気がしました。

よほどお腹が空いていたのか、牧草地に入ると草を食べ始めて中々動こうとしません。で、先導の馬さん達と間が空いてしまうので、慌てて追いつこうとして速歩＆駆足がでる。なのでこちらの指示ではなく自分からほぼほぼ速歩＆駆足になるのです。また、牧草地の真ん中で、何かを踏んだのか左足に激痛が走ったのか、右側に大きく飛びのき、そのまま３／４回転、一瞬怖かったですが、まぁそこはフカフカの牧草地、なんとかなりました。リョウくんの左足、蹄の辺りとか、診てあげればよかったかなと思いました。

帰りは登別温泉でゆっくり、空港も割と近いので、帰りも楽々。

もう少し上達したら、また是非行きたいですね。

It was just the two of us with my friend. It was their first time in Tokyo. The rickshaw in Asakusa was great; the driver was friendly and efficiently took us around despite the heat. We had a lot of fun.

友人と二人の参加でした。友人は初の東京。浅草の人力車は
ドライバーの方の感じもよく暑い中てきぱきと回っていただきました
楽しかったです。

It was raining, but I was able to ride thanks to the raincoat they lent me. I borrowed a helmet, but there was an extra charge for that. The owner took pictures of us riding with his phone, and he also took many with our phones. The person who taught us how to ride was a very nice lady. It was a lot of fun!

雨でしたがレインコートを貸していただき乗ることができました、ヘルメットを借りましたが別料金がかかりました。乗っているところの写真はオーナーのおじさんが携帯でとってくれました。私たちの携帯でもたくさん撮ってくれました
乗馬を教えてくださったのはお姉さんでとても良い感じでした
とても楽しかったです

I suddenly decided to travel to Fukuoka and wanted to book some activities, and it was a great choice. At first, I was a bit scared, but after interacting with the horses and receiving thorough explanations, I ended up loving them by the time I left. I will definitely come back!

急遽福岡旅行が決まり、何かアクティビティしたいなと思って予約したのですが、大正解でした。
初めは少し怖かったものの、馬と触れ合ったり丁寧に説明してもらったりすることで帰りには馬が大好きになりました。また遊びに来ます！

This was my first time riding a rickshaw. I had a wonderful time for about an hour, thanks to the various considerations shown to me. While enjoying the view of the streets, I was impressed by the rickshaw driver's wide range of conversation. Not only did he share history and background, but he also studied simple greetings in English and Chinese to entertain inbound customers. What surprised me the most was the comparison between the Shiki Theatre Company and the rickshaw. I was moved by the confidence backed by his efforts when he mentioned, "The product is Kousei" (I forgot the kanji for the name). I seriously thought about whether rickshaws could be incorporated into employee training. I was touched by his professionalism.

人力車に初めて乗車。色々とお気遣い頂きながら、約1時間、楽しく過ごせました。
街並みを眺めながら、人力車のお兄さんのトークの幅の広さに感動。歴史や由来だけでなく、インバウンドのお客様に楽しんで頂くために、英語や中国語の簡単な挨拶を勉強されていたり。一番驚いたのは、劇団四季と人力車の比較。商品はコウセイ（お名前漢字を失念）です、と言う努力に裏付けされた自信に感動。
人力車を社員研修に取り入れられないか、と本気で思えました。プロ意識に感動です。

Unfortunately, it was drizzling, but it would stop and start again. I heard that on a clear day, you can see the ocean. My family of four had a nearly first-time experience of horseback riding. We received plenty of practice and tips, and then we headed out! We ventured deep into the grass and moved forward steadily. There was even a gallop at the end, and I was very satisfied. I was also happy that the staff took photos of us with our phones. Above all, the staff were very kind. I want to go again. We rode for 90 minutes, and when I got off the horse, my inner thighs felt like they were sore from muscle pain, and the next day I enjoyed a pleasant muscle ache that lingered. And every horse was so cute, which was very soothing. Thank you very much!!

あいにく小雨の天気でしたが霧雨になったり止んだり。晴れていたら海も見渡せるそうです。家族4人でほぼ初体験の乗馬でした。十分な練習とコツを教えていただき、いざ場外へ！
深い草の中にも分け入ってズンズンと進みます。最後駆け足なんかもあって
大満足でした。
スタッフの方が私たちの携帯で撮影していただいたのも嬉しかったです。
何よりスタッフの方たちが親切でした。
また行きたいです。
９０分乗ってきましたが、馬を降りたら内股が筋肉痛みたいな感じで
次の日も心地よい筋肉痛があり余韻に浸れました　笑
そしてどの馬も可愛いので癒されました。
ありがとうございました！！

My son, who is in the third grade this year, had experienced horseback riding elsewhere last year, but this year at Bandana, he said, "I want to ride again tomorrow! This place is definitely the best!" He was very pleased.
All the horses were very smart, listened well, and were really cute.
Additionally, the president was very warm, funny, and had a wonderful personality. The staff were also kind and taught us a lot about the horses and how to ride.
Once again, I’m really glad we were taken care of here this time. We look forward to our next visit!

今年小学校3年生となる息子は、去年別の所で外乗りを経験していましたが、今年バンダナさんでお世話になったところ、「明日も乗りたい！絶対ここがいい！」と大変気に入っておりました。
お馬さんたちはみんなとても賢く、よく言うことを聞いてくれていて、とてもかわいかったです。
また、社長はとても暖かくておもしろくて、素晴らしいお人柄でした。スタッフの方も優しく、馬のこと、乗り方などたくさん教えてくださいました。
改めて、今回こちらでお世話になって本当によかったです。また次回もよろしくお願いいたします！

We were the only participants, a mature couple. Although I had experience with Segway abroad, I was a bit nervous since it had been four years. However, thanks to the thorough guidance, I quickly got used to it. (I really appreciated the explanations in Japanese.)

The refreshing feeling of riding through the vast Banna Park and the explanations about the rare plants made me hesitate to join due to the rainy season, but I was blessed with good weather and I'm glad I participated.

参加者は私たち熟年夫婦だけでした。
海外でのセグウェイ経験はありましたが、4年振りということもあり最初はやや緊張気味でした。
でも丁寧なご指導のおかげですぐに慣れました。
(やっぱり日本語の説明はありがたい)

広いバンナ公園の中を走る爽快感、珍しい植物の説明等、梅雨どきのため参加を迷いましたが、お天気にも恵まれて参加してよかったです。

I experienced a Segway for the first time and it was so much fun. The guide was very attentive and taught us well, and we also took proper breaks. The tour included guidance around the park and explanations about the plants, making it a truly wonderful experience. Thank you.

初めてセグウェイを体験しましたがとっても楽しかった。ガイドさんが丁寧に教えていただき、また休憩をしっかりとってもらい、公園内の案内、植物の説明など至れり尽くせりでとても素敵な体験でした。ありがとう。

I had a great experience exploring all the wonderful spots in Bannai Park. I even got to see a crowned eagle!

バンナ公園の素敵なところをくまなく回っていただいてとても良い経験ができました。
カンムリワシにも会えました

I had an amazing time riding horses in the vast land, much more than I expected. During the ride, I spotted a red fox and enjoyed the view of the mountains in Noboribetsu, all while experiencing the beautiful scenery of Hokkaido just as the snow began to fall. The horses were intelligent, each with their own distinct personalities and emotions that were clearly conveyed, allowing me to experience the joy and challenges of interacting with animals in a rich and fulfilling way.

If the timing is right, it seems you can also experience a gallop. After the ride, they provided plenty of time to interact with many animals like horses, dogs, sheep, and cats until my taxi arrived, which left me very satisfied. I would love to sign up again when I visit Noboribetsu!

広大な土地の中を想像以上にたっぷり乗馬できて最高でした。乗馬中にはキタキツネを見つけたり、登別の山々を眺めたり、ちょうど雪が降り始めな時期で北海道らしい景色を堪能することができました。馬たちも賢く、またそれぞれ性格の違いやその時その時の感情がありありと伝わってきて、動物と触れ合うことの楽しさや大変さがギュッと詰まった濃厚な時間を体験できました。
タイミングが合えば速足も体験させてもらえるらしいです。終了後も、タクシーの迎えが来るまで馬や犬や羊や猫などたくさんの動物と触れ合う時間を作ってくださりかなり大満足でした。登別に行く際はまた申し込みたいです！

Unlike other horseback riding tours, you can ride through a vast ranch, which is very moving. This is my second time, and I think people who love horses would be willing to go to Hokkaido just for this. If you're lucky, you might even get to ride at a gallop!?

他の乗馬ツアーとは違い、広い牧場の中を乗馬出来てとても感動的。今回で2回目だが、馬が好きな人はこのために北海道に行っても良いと思う。運が良ければ速足までさせてくれるかも!?

I decided to join after seeing everyone's posts. I was worried because I don't have good athletic skills, but it was totally fine! My husband, who was hesitant at first, seemed to have a lot of fun, so I'm glad!

皆さんの書込みを見て参加を決めました。
運動神経ないので…ちゃんとついていけるか心配でしたが全然大丈夫でした！
最初渋っていた旦那もとっても楽しかったようで良かったです！

On the first day of my trip to Hokkaido, I wanted to experience nature, so I tried horseback riding for the first time.

After spending time with the cute horses, I actually got to ride one.

Although I had no prior experience, the horse was smart and gentle, which allowed me to enjoy the experience with peace of mind.

Additionally, the staff took photos for me as a keepsake, so I was able to create wonderful memories.

If I come to Hokkaido again, I would love to use this service once more.

Thank you for your kind assistance.

北海道旅行初日、自然を感じたいということで初めて乗馬体験をさせていただきました。

可愛い馬たちとたくさん触れ合ったあと実際に乗馬をさせていただきました。

未体験でしたが賢く大人しい馬だったため安心して楽しむことができました。

また、スタッフの方々が記念にお写真を撮って下さったので最高の思い出を残すことが出来ました。

北海道に来ることがあれば、また利用させていただきたいと思います。

ご対応いただきありがとうございました。

I was worried about whether I would be able to ride well, but thanks to the very smart horses, even as a complete beginner, I had a great time. It felt wonderful in the great nature of Hokkaido.

上手く、乗れるか心配だったけど、ほぼ初心者でもとてもお利口さんの馬達のお陰で楽しく過ごせました。北海道の大自然の中、とても気持ち良かったです。

The location is mostly residential with no parking, and even at the reserved time, no one showed up. I really started to wonder if this was the right place, but since there were no other buildings that looked similar, I patiently waited. Finally, someone who seemed to be the owner arrived, and the tour began. After a brief introduction to riding in a circle, the horseback riding in the vast grasslands was truly an emotional experience that can only be felt in Hokkaido. The scenery was unforgettable and made me want to visit Hokkaido again just for this. However, there isn't much instruction on how to ride, so I wouldn't recommend it for those with no riding experience or for children.

場所がほぼ民家で駐車場も無く予約時間になっても誰も来ず、本当にここで良いのか？と疑問に思ったが、他にそれらしい建物も無かったので我慢強く待っていたら、やっと経営者らしき人が来てツアーが始まった。簡単な輪乗りの後、広大な草原での乗馬は正に北海道でしか味わえない感動的な体験だった。このためだけにまた北海道に行きたいと思わせる様な風景はずっと忘れない。馬の乗り方についての指導はあまり無いので、全く乗馬の経験が無かったり子供にはお勧め出来ない

It was my first experience with horseback riding, and although I had various anxieties, I was completely satisfied thanks to the friendliness of the horses and the staff. Of course, I don't know about other horseback riding experiences, but the exhilaration of riding and the expansive views made it an irreplaceable experience. I want to go again! Since it was the last course of the day, it was also nice to be able to chat leisurely afterward. Thank you very much!

乗馬初体験で、色々不安もありましたが、全部吹き飛ぶほど、お馬さんとスタッフの方々のフレンドリーさで、大満足でした。
もちろん、他の乗馬体験のことはわかりませんが、乗馬の爽快感と広がる景色は、代え難い経験になりました。
また行きたいです！
当日の最終コースということもあり、終わった後も、ゆったりと話ができたのも良かったです。
ありがとうございました！

On the first departure of the day, other participants cheerfully shouted "Have a great time!" which made me feel a bit embarrassed but also happy, and I couldn't help but wave back. There were some mishaps like dropping my towel and my hat, but the person in the car next to me opened their window to let me know, and someone who picked up my things ran over to return them. It was my first time in Tokyo, and I realized there are kind people here.

Although it was a short time, our guide, Daichan, was full of smiles and energy despite the heat. I had a great time. Next time, I want to join a longer course.

朝一番の出発で、他社の方も大きな声で「行ってらっしゃーい」と声をかけてくださりと恥ずかしかったけど嬉しくなり思わず手を振っていました。タオルを落としたり、帽子を落としたりとハプニングがありましたが、隣に寄せた車の方が窓を開けて教えてくださったり、拾った方は走って持ってきてくださりと東京に来て初めて優しい人もいるんだと思いました。
短時間でしたが、担当の大ちゃんは暑い中笑顔いっぱい元気いっぱいでした。楽しかったです。次回は長い時間のコースにも参加したいです。

We had a great time on our family's first horseback riding experience! Since our youngest child (7 years old) was scared, they quickly switched us to a pony, and we were able to enjoy the experience safely! It became a wonderful memory!

家族で初めての乗馬体験で楽しかったです！
一番下の子(7歳)が怖がったため、急遽ポニーに変更して乗せてくれ無事に体験出来ました！　大変いい思い出になりました！
