At the national horse day event at Setagaya Ward’s Bajikoen I saw these school kids showing doing a bit of horse acrobatics. Very impressive, especially considering the very limited training time they must have here in central Tokyo. I have never seen this outside of a circus and it looks very difficult. Bajikoen is one of the very few places in central Tokyo where you can go to see horses and horseriding. To get there from Shibuya station you can either take the train to Sakurashinmachi station or take a bus (23, 24 or 26 and get off at the Nodaimae bus stop).
