Reviews
"Our Japan Cup trip with Racing Breaks was truly unforgettable. The itinerary was certainly unique, from touring Mt Moiwa and the Sapporo Beer Museum to visiting Northern Farm and seeing stallions up close. The hospitality at Tokyo Racecourse was a highlight, and staying in both Sapporo and Tokyo gave us the chance to enjoy city life and Japanese cuisine in equal measure. Perfect for anyone who loves racing and exploring a new culture."
"Had been to Japan independently before but never to the racing. This trip was great and allowed us to do a few things we missed when in Tokyo last time. Hospitality was fantastic and we extended our trip to spend a few extra days in Sapporo at the start!!"
"This was easily one of the best race travel experiences I’ve taken. The Racing Breaks team looked after everything — from hotels to flights and more. Highlights were the stallion parade at Shadai Farm and hospitality at the racecourse. The balance of tours and free time meant we saw the best of Japan both on and off the track. A must‑do for any racing fan!"
