Sports yabusame is a competition in which yabusame, an ancient Japanese martial art, can be enjoyed safely by men and women of all ages by shooting arrows at the enemy from a horse and competing for points. The jockey shoots arrows from the top of a horse that runs through at maximum speed, so it's full of speed, power, and dignity. Horse gear and jockey costumes are also elegant and old-fashioned.

It has been known as a horse-growing area since ancient times, and in “Towada City, Aomori Prefecture,” which lists the “Village of Komano,” efforts have been made to spread yabusame as a tourist resource by holding world-class competitions such as the “Sakura Yabusame” and “World Yabusame Championships,” and the culture as a sacred place for sports yabusame has also taken root.

In this program, it is a valuable experience where basic yabusame theory learning, riding practice, archery practice, and Japanese horse-riding lessons are concentrated over 3 days, mainly for people who have experienced horseback riding at horseback riding clubs in Towada City, according to the participants' skills.
