SPOT
The world's only Banei horse racing, where horses weighing over one ton pull iron sleds with weights, competing in strength and speed on a straight course.
The tests of strength of draft horses from Hokkaido's pioneering era have been passed down to modern races, and it now inspires people as a Hokkaido Heritage.
