See why horse racing is referred to as the sport of kings at Kyoto Racecourse. From the brute power of the animals to the excited crowds, few things compare to the atmosphere of a day at the track.

When you've finished up at this Fushimi Ward horse racing venue, why not make your way to Fushimi Inari Shrine, Kyoto Tower, and To-ji Temple? They're not very far from Kyoto Racecourse and also popular with travelers.

9/10 Wonderful! (305 reviews)

What a great hotel! My room was really nice with two twin beds and lounger to relax on. I had a bit of a view with the big picture window. This is a very walkable area 5 minutes walk to the nearest train station. There are lots of restaurants nearby and a ton of convenience stores with great food options too. The breakfast buffet is pretty awesome, just get there no later than 8:30. I highly recommended 👍
