Hanshin Racecourse

: Horseracing is a sport that honors tradition and was born amid the strict etiquette of England. This racecourse is known for prominent, high-stakes races such as the Oka Show, a Grade-1 race to open the season, and the Takarazuka Kinen, an "all-star" race in which fan votes determine the runners.
The expansive grounds include a plaza (with a playground) and a beautiful garden, both of which are accessible Mondays-Thursday when no races are held. Popular pony rides are available for children on race days, making this a great outing for the entire family.
