Sonoda Racecourse - Amagasaki

This is the second racecourse, this time Sonoda Racecourse, following Kochi Racecourse. It was a weekday, but there were some customers. The parking lot is 1000 yen a day and there are many parking lots nearby. Admission was 100 yen, and there were many restaurants. I didn't eat it because I ate lunch, but ... I can't sit a lot because there is a space between the seats in the corona, but if I look for it, I can sit and watch the game, and hot and cold tea It's free. One day, in no time. Go again

The familiarity unique to local horse racing and the moderately lively number of people are attractive. There are also fan buses from each Hankyu JR station, so access is good. The octopus heaven at Akashiya over the paddock is exquisite, so please try it.

It takes about 20 minutes on foot from Sonoda Station. I play night games on Friday. It was a holiday Friday, but there were more people than I expected. I wear a mask, but I was a little worried because I was close to people. When I think of local horse racing, I had the impression that I had been to Fukuyama Racecourse before, and it was dirty, smelly, and had a bad customer base, but Sonoda Racecourse did not. It is clean and does not smell bad. There were a certain number of bad people in the customer base, but most of them were decent. The racetrack is small and the main monitor is poor, but I think it's pretty good because you can see the horses from a fairly close distance.

It is crowded with locals. There are many cafeterias and the price is too cheap, so I sold yakisoba for 200 yen. The hall was surprisingly beautifully renewed and comfortable. There is also a free bus to the nearest station.

It may be good to go out for a change on weekdays. There is a free shuttle bus from Sonoda station, but it's not too far on foot. You can buy a reserved seat, sit down and enjoy a drink at the service drink vending machine (although it is interesting to have a battle until the actual product runs out). You can put 100 yen in the entrance gate and enjoy walking around. Next to the entrance Yes, it's sad that the horse racing newspapers were no longer sold by calling them Kinky Kinky. A long time ago, I used to talk about the worst racetrack in Japan, but I think the atmosphere has changed considerably due to the renovation and the aging of customers over the years. The inside of the racetrack is also fairly well maintained, and there are many shops where you can eat. It's pretty delicious. Shows are also held on the stage on the day of the event (Currently, it seems that it is not done because it is such a time.) Hormone skewers are famous Hormone skewers have a rather animal odor, so they also have a beast odor. If you are trying for the first time, it may be better to have only one and know the taste. Even in a group, about 3 sticks in one, so share this. Some people call it liver, others call it kidney, but I think it's mixed. You can enjoy just walking around, eating and drinking There is a shop in front of the paddock, so it smells like a horse. The racetrack is a relatively small course, and you can see racehorses kicking the sand in front of you. If you can make Baba sand, please pay attention to it, it is a pure white sand that is rare to see. It has been replaced with Australian sand for several years. (I was curious and found out) If you look at the sky on the right in front of the course, you can also see planes departing from and arriving at Itami Airport.

The location is Amagasaki at the local racecourse, but it was normal when I entered If you buy a reserved seat of 1500 yen, you will get a 500 yen cash voucher (Is it possible to buy a horse racing newspaper right at the entrance? W) Reserved seats are comfortable There are only 2 seats in the corona, so you can use it comfortably and get a free drink. It is a racecourse where you can see your horse up close while enjoying the gourmet food in the venue.
