On the way back home from the beach, we stopped at “Wild Boar Village”. We have passed by it several times but we have never stopped. Entry is 700 yen for adults – but we weren’t disappointed.
Every day, three wild boar races are held at this track.
With encouragement from the handlers, they’re off!
The final stretch with #6 in the lead, followed by #3…
Holding a winning ticket. The admission receipt doubled as a ticket for the race! (The receipt also has a 3rd function – it has instructions for folding it into an origami wild boar).
Mother and baby… or is it father and baby?!?
Hanging around – waiting for something interesting to happen. That concrete block looks like a lot of fun for the young ‘uns!
Just another typical tourist picture!
