The Horse Drive is a 90-minute adventure through the ranch property. You'll cross the thicket and ride up to the upper pasture, which overlooks the hills. This activity is recommended to fully enjoy the vastness of the ranch. Upon arriving at the elevated pasture, seasonal drinks and snacks will await you for a relaxing break on the panoramic wooden deck.
This course allows you to ride through the pasture, starting with brushing and saddling to get to know the horse better before heading out. It's the perfect introduction to horseback riding for newcomers. Even without prior experience, you can rest assured that our staff will accompany you throughout the activity.
The Drone Shot is the ultimate way to immortalize your riding experience with us! Equip yourself with our GoPro and venture outside while being recorded by a drone for a stunning panoramic capture. It's the perfect way to share your adventure on social media.
Two years since its inception, with the support of many, we are excited to announce the upcoming completion and opening in October 2024 of our combined management building and cafeteria.
Nestled amidst fresh air and verdant landscapes, it offers a uniquely serene environment. The interior boasts a minimalist design, an elegantly refined space. Through large windows, guests can enjoy sweeping views of the white-fenced exercise grounds and the tranquil pastoral scenery, providing a perfect retreat from urban clamor into a serene realm.
Take your time to enjoy the Farm Holiday without rushing around to avoid missing local activities. Spend the night at Heart Ranch, either in our stylish and comfortable trailer house on the upper pasture overlooking the green hills or in the newly furnished second floor of our ranch cafeteria.
Join our Horse Owner Membership and embrace a stress-free natural environment on our expansive ranch—quite different from urban equestrian clubs. Here, you can own horses that live freely, growing alongside your family in a nurturing setting.
Why not explore the world of pleasure riding, distinct from racehorses? Customize your lifestyle to align with your horse's growth, integrating it seamlessly into your daily routine.
Rest assured, if owning a horse ever becomes challenging, our ranch stands ready to provide support.
Participate in our membership program to share our vast ranch and horses. Enjoy riding lessons and exclusive member pricing on amenities such as our trailer houses, glamping sites, and café.
Launching in April 2025 (tentative), our riding club allows you to ride Heart Ranch-owned horses and take lessons for an additional fee, similar to traditional riding clubs
Hokkaido is a region with advanced issues such as declining population, falling birthrate and aging population.
Especially in East Hokkaido and Kushiro area, challenges like population decline and an aging society are affecting the dairy industry, leading to farm abandonment and increased fallow land.
Amidst these issues, we are refocusing attention on this magnificent natural environment! Emphasizing environmental conservation and animal welfare, we've launched three initiatives aimed at providing many people with opportunities to experience this incredible nature while promoting well-being in daily life.
