It’s in Kobe, but it looks like you’ll be able to try pony riding at Sunshine Wharf Kobe.

Finally
Sunshine Wharf Kobe is home to the Guinness World Records-certified “world’s longest monkey bars.” This event is packed with things kids will probably love, like pony rides, festival games, and inflatable play equipment. It sounds like the participation tickets can be used over all three days too, so families should be able to take their time and enjoy everything at a relaxed pace. By the way, there’s apparently also a monkey bar challenge event on 11/30.
