Rich History: Japanese horse racing traces its roots back to the late 19th century when the country's elite class first embraced this sport as a symbol of prestige and wealth. The first official horse race in Japan was held in 1862 at the Shinjuku Gyoen Park in Tokyo, and from there, the popularity of horse racing spread rapidly.

Massive Betting Turnover: Japanese horse racing boasts one of the largest betting turnovers in the world. According to the Japan Racing Association (JRA), the total betting turnover for the fiscal year 2021 was a staggering 2.72 trillion yen (approximately 25 billion U.S. dollars). This impressive figure underscores the immense popularity of horse racing as a form of entertainment and wagering in Japan. The popularity has risen across the world, making the options to watch live streams of Japanese races much more popular in recent years.
Unique Betting System: One of the most intriguing aspects of Japanese horse racing is its unique betting system.

Some of the most popular bet types in Japan include the "tansho" (single win), "fukusho" (quinella), "umaren" (exacta), and "wide" (trifecta), among others. This diverse array of betting options adds an extra layer of excitement and strategy for bettors, making Japanese horse racing a true test of skill and knowledge.
