On July 10, Umamusume: Pretty Derby’s developers, Cygames, published a stable visitation guide for people interested in visiting racehorses. The developers highly suggested that people check the Kyousoba Furusato Information Center first before planning their visit.
The website is in Japanese with no proper English translation, which can make it hard to navigate. Here are the nine points regarding stable visits that Cygames wants Umamusume fans to know:
- Contact the Kyousoba Furusato Information Center to discover if visits are possible.
- Contact the Kyousoba Furusato Information Center for details on the times of visits.
- Follow the instructions provided by the staff working at the stables.
- Do not enter stable buildings or grazing land without permission.
- Do not shout or make loud noises.
- Never touch the horses. It is extremely dangerous.
- Smoking is prohibited on stable land.
- Do not use camera flashes.
- Never feed the horses.
While visitations are possible, the information center published an article on July 1 asking the public to pause their stable visits first. According to the article, there is an ongoing outbreak of equine influenza in Japan. While the influenza does not affect humans, it can put foals in ranches that don’t have immunity to the virus at risk.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is a raising simulator with roguelike elements where players raise trainees and help them win their races. Cygames confirmed that the game was only possible due to the cooperation of racehorse owners and personnel who allowed the studio to put their horses into the game as anthropomorphized anime girls.
