Reviews by situation

“Relaxing alone” Recommendation score: 6 /10

Yoyogi Pony Park is not large enough for long stays, so it is often empty. Therefore, children are given priority, but adults are welcome to visit alone.


“Kids will love it” Recommendation score: 9 /10

It is a popular facility with children because you can interact with ponies. Even if you show up unexpectedly, you will often be able to touch the ponies.


“As a date” Recommendation score: 2 /10

It is small in size and a bit smelly, so it is hard to imagine visiting here for a date.


“Fun with friends” Recommendation score: 3 /10

If you are with friends who like ponies and animals, visiting may be an option.
