Negishi Racecourse

Negishidai, Japan · built 1866

Negishi Racecourse was a horse-racing facility located on the outskirts of Yamate in the treaty port of Yokohama, recognized as the first purpose-built European style racecourse in Japan. The course was operational between 1866 and 1942. It had a major influence on racecourses built later all over Japan, such as its clockwise circuit course and the structure of the stands.
