Horse Club Ginza

This is Japan’s first indoor equestrian club, but instead of actual horses, you’ll be practising on mechanical simulators developed with input from professional equestrians. So rest assured these machines are no amusement park rides; they accurately replicate the sensation of horse-riding.

There’s a good range of lessons catering to novices all the way up to expert riders. The ¥3,850 beginner plan lets you try three different movements: walk, trot and canter. Experienced riders, on the other hand, can improve their skills with lessons such as show jumping and cross-country riding, dressage as well as a jockey challenge, where you’ll be racing, albeit virtually, at Dubai’s prestigious Meydan Racecourse. There are horse yoga sessions, too.
