About Hanshin Racecourse
Hanshin Racecourse is located in Takarazuka, Hyogo, Japan. It has a capacity of 139,000 and is used for horse racing.
The land was originally owned by Kawanishi Aircraft Company, which manufactured combat planes during World War II. After World War II, GHQ ordered the company to stop manufacturing combat planes, which led to the closure of the factory. In 1949, Keihanshin Keiba K.K. built the Hanshin Racecourse. The racecourse was transferred to Japan Racing Association in 1955.
A major reconstruction was completed in 1991, and another in 2006. Beginning May 2024, the racecourse was closed for a year due to a grandstand renovation. The track's biggest events, the Takarazuka Kinen in June and the Hanshin Juvenile Fillies in December were both relocated to Kyoto Racecourse during the construction.
