JRA Baji Koen (Equestrian Park)
馬事公苑
Kamiyoga · near Sakura-shinmachi Station (Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line) ~15 min, or Kyodo Station (Odakyu Line) ~20 min (15 min walk)
A spacious, free equestrian park (a Tokyo 2020 venue) reopened after renovation in 2023, combining horse facilities, demonstrations, a children's play area and vast lawns — a relaxed animal-adjacent outing in Setagaya.
Why children love it: Get up close to horses in a huge green park, take a gentle pony walk around the pony ring, try the horse-riding simulator, and run around the big open 'harappa' lawn and children's playground.
