Have a relaxing time on a horse-drawn carriage

If you are lucky enough, you can find a carriage drawn by a horse outside JR Yufuin Station. A big horse draws a carriage with tourists on, and walks alongside rice fields from the station to a temple and then a shrine. This is a tradition of the city which has lasted for forty years.

The course starting from Yufuin Station and visiting Bussan-ji Temple and Unaguhime-jinja Shrine takes about 60 minutes. Being rocked while listening to the sound of hoofs, you will be relaxed in body and soul.

Large trees, a murmuring stream, flowers alongside the stream and stone walls. The carriage moves so slowly that you can observe such familiar scenes you pass by. You will almost forget the passage of time.
* Reservation required. The service may be unavailable depending on the horses’ condition and the weather.
