We went for the Japan Cup which is a huge Race and which attracts enormous crowds ( this year was the lowest at around 90,000 but one year nearly 190,000 turned up ) and the atmosphere is fantastic. This pace is huge and you never really notice the number of spectators until the big race when it gets a bit crowded but you will still find a spot with a good view. The paddock is at the back of the grandstand and after the race the winning horse and jockey go to the Winners Circle in between the track and the grandstand at the front. Admission is just 200 yen ( around £1.50 !! ) and certainly for this day by going to the information desk you could get an English racecard and a handy gadget for holding over the betting tickets so you easily see what boxes to fill out for the bets you wanted. There are food options everywhere, a museum and a gift shop the size of a small supermarket. If you like Horse Racing you cannot fail to enjoy a day out here.

"Funabashi Keiba", the races that have produced many famous racing horses from the region. The night horse race "Heartbeat Nighter" is popular with fans for its romantic atmosphere. Spectators sit close to the racecourse itself, where they can enjoy the full excitement of the race.

I have been to most of the racecourses in GB and Ireland but none of them compare with Tokyo City Keiba (Oi) It is reached easily on public transport and even has it's own station on the Haneda Monrail link 100yds from the track. Entrance fee is also an amazing 100Yen (around 70P in English) For a course that only holds low grade racing similar to Wolverhampton in the UK I am amazed at the size of the place. The facilities are the best I have ever seen on a racecourse, there are three huge stands which run the length of the straight with loads of accessible seating and numerous bars and eating places- all at reasonable prices too. You will struggle to find a better value sporting day out anywhere- I would highly recommend a visit if you are going to Tokyo.
