Watch skilled archers in period costume hit the wooden mark from horseback! To reach the target, the riders pelt along a path lined by sakura trees, of which Takahatake Park has 500 (they’re lit up from sunset to 22:00)! Want a piece of the action (literally)? Enter the raffle for the broken target.
