Urawa Racecourse

Urawa Racecourse is a well-known horse racing venue. Opened in 1947, it has become a key spot for local horse racing fans. The track is smaller than many others, with a circumference of just over 1,000 meters. This gives races a more intimate and exciting feel, with plenty of action and close finishes.

Races at Urawa are held mostly on weekdays, attracting a dedicated crowd who enjoy the thrill of live horse racing. The venue also hosts some significant races, including the Urawa Kinen, a popular event in the Japanese racing calendar.

The course itself is quite tight, which adds an extra layer of challenge for both horses and jockeys. This means skill and strategy are very important, making the races even more interesting to watch. The facilities at Urawa Racecourse are well-maintained, providing a comfortable experience for visitors.
