El Rancho Grande

A Western riding club since 1975

El Rancho Grande is a welcoming Western riding club where anyone can enjoy horseback riding.
The club has even contributed to masterpieces by internationally renowned Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa, including Kagemusha and Ran.

You can also venture beyond the facility on horseback, letting the refreshing breeze and the expansive green highlands provide a serene escape. The gentle rhythm of the horse’s movements, combined with the sound of hooves and the wind, creates a truly soothing experience.
Visitors can also enjoy guided rides around the paddock or participate in feeding sessions with the gentle horses.
