Lake Shirakaba Hope Lodge Horse Ranch

This lodge is a hidden Western-style log house accommodation located about 1 km from the shores of Shirakaba Lake in a mountainous area.
The founder, originally from Kyoto, settled here in 1961. At first, they began by cutting trees alone, gradually building log houses with their companions.
While living with one horse and one dog, they constructed multiple lodging facilities and established a horseback riding club.
The facility offers an overwhelmingly unique and impressive experience. There are various styles of rooms, including pet-friendly cottages, Western-style rooms, and Japanese-style rooms.
Trained horses allow even first-time visitors to enjoy horseback riding experiences at the lodge. Programs are also available for experienced riders. The horses have been featured in movies and TV dramas and participate in warrior parades at festivals in various regions. You can also enjoy leather crafting workshops and BBQs.
