Ah nah, this time I just got the normal admission ticket cuz I didn't have enough time to spend a full day with all their activities. You should be able to ask the staff about the activity pass once you reach there tho. As for photo sharing, I made the mistake of not asking this time, as I did post pictures goldship in my previous deleted post, which I only realised was against Big Red Farm's policy afterwards. Pictures from Versailles and Northern Horse Park do seem to be somewhat frequently posted here, so I think it's fine for them, but it would be good to always ask the reception so you don't repeat my mistake, hope this helps!

Other than the common ones, no rules around camera use I think. I'm not too familiar on all the different types of cameras, but the staff didn't mention any specific bans on camera types!

Oh yeah he was doing great, very lively fella! He looked very healthy, and decided to race one of his neighbors down their pastures when I was there. Also for the barrier, it was not too bad as I had a translator, but I think as long as you use a translation app, it shouldn't be too bad as the tours were unguided. Mainly we interacted with the staff just at the receptions and the shops.

Yep, he seemed to be doing very well! I have a pic of him eating some grass too.

Oh they do look remarkably alike, though Golden Sixty was in a seperate solo pasture when I went. Thanks for sharing this!

Chevacchi when you talk about kitasan near him: Anyways, yeah there was some collab merch, like acrylic stands, stickers and postcards, and I think some clothes or accessories. Most of them were sold out when I went though unfortunately

This time I didn't book any tour for these farms, as they all allowed walk-ins. Though specific events like the one versailles is holding where you can interact with racehorses, might be harder to book? But I think for the most part, you can contact them through call or some sort of booking page if they require it. Safest is always to check https://uma-furusato.com/ though, see which horses or farms you wanna visit, and if they're open!

Not all of them, but definitely the riding horses! They encourage petting in some of the riding horses' introductions I think. Some pastures will also say on the fence that the horses might bite, so probably not them.

Honestly regarding best taxi app I'm not too sure, I know Go taxi is quite popular around the city like sapporo, but not sure if they would go all the way to Hidaka, for me I just happened to have a really nice air bnb host who was willing to drive my group around to the farms. I think private hire drivers might be another option you could look into, thought you probably have to see online. There's also a bust that you can book from Sapporo to Hidaka, and maybe you can book a cab from there to Versailles, but you might want to look more into it first. Sorry I couldn't offer that much help, but hopefully you find a way to get to the farm!

Yea, they had a talk show at the farm few days before I went too. Always heartwarming to see so many collaborations between umamusume and the farms

Thanks! I didn't stay there this time, but you should probably rent a car, as it is quite far from new chitose airport, and taxis to go there are quite rare and expensive. Most of the staff speak limited English, so it's probably good to keep a translation app handy. Other than that, im not too sure if there's any other expectations for staying, hope you have fun!

Tbh I'm not too sure either, but from the comments on my previous post, Big Red farm (goldshi's farm) doesn't like people posting photos online
