Tomita Bokujou

Tomita Bokujou (Yugen-gaisha Tomita Bokujou) is a Japanese Thoroughbred breeding and training farm located at the foot of the Hidaka Mountains in Urakawa-cho, Urakawa-gun, Hokkaido. It is a small, family-run limited company (yugen-gaisha), and its current head is the third generation of the family to work in the horse industry. The farm's main business is the production and management of racehorses—breeding, raising, and training young Thoroughbreds to supply the Japanese racing world. The farm is deliberately kept small. According to its website, the workforce consists of about five grooms, one working holidaymaker from South Korea, nearby farms that board horses on its behalf, the head of the farm and his wife, and the head's 89-year-old parents. A daughter who helped in recent years has married and moved to Tokyo. The farm also has "Oromappu Ikusei Bokujo" (Oromappu Training Farm) about a five-minute drive away on the other side of the river, where it uses vast pastures to raise horses from around October of their yearling year until around October–November of the following year; this is the middle training stage, with no riding exercise at all, after which the horses move to a riding training farm (Tomita Stable or another training facility) to begin race training. Oromappu is jointly operated by three farms: Shinnari Bokujo, known for "Machikane Fukukitaru," Kanenari Yoshida Bokujo, and Tomita Bokujou. Tomita Bokujou has produced numerous racehorses over the decades, including Takakura O, Busshan, Kamino Teshio, Inter Good, Texas Waipon, Yellow Horse, Meisho Eikan, Nice Nice Nice, Foundry Libria, She's a Woman, Meisho Marronnier, Torona Lucky, Meisho Domenica, Gebalt Stayer, Strong Point, Meisho Akishino, Fine Choice, and Mine Queen. More recent achievements include Candy Barows winning the 2015 Fantasy Stakes (GIII), and Sunrise Soa winning the Nagoya Daishoten (January G3) and the 25th Heian Stakes in May. The farm states that its mission is to work with its staff to produce better racehorses through careful daily management, a full complement of excellent broodmares, and the dream of "making strong horses" passed down from its grandfather's generation. The farm was established on October 11, 1958 (Showa 33), registered as Yugen-gaisha Tomita Bokujou, with Shuichi Tomita as representative and six employees (including part-timers). The cherry and azalea trees collected and tended by the head's parents on the farm are famous; cherries bloom in May and azaleas in June. The cherries were deliberately preserved when the hillside was converted to pasture, so their age is unknown. As a privately family-run breeding farm rather than a publicly traded company, Tomita Bokujou occupies a traditional place in Hokkaido's horse industry.

Tomita Bokujou was established on 11 October, Showa 33 (1958), according to the company profile on its official website. It is a Thoroughbred breeding and management operation based at Nishishacha 60, Urakawa-cho, Urakawa-gun, Hokkaido, at the foot of the Hidaka Mountains. The current head of the farm is the third generation of the family to work with horses, continuing a lineage that the farm traces back to a grandfather's dream of raising strong racehorses. The farm's business is the production and management of racehorses. Over the decades it has produced a long list of horses, including Takakura O, Busshan, Kamino Teshio, Inter Good, Texas Waipon, Yellow Horse, Meisho Eikan, Nice Nice Nice, Foundry Libria, She's a Woman, Meisho Maronie, Torona Lucky, Meisho Domenica, Gebalt Stayer, Strong Point, Meisho Akishino, Fine Choice and Mine Queen. In 2015 Candy Barows won the Fantasy Stakes (GIII), a result the farm celebrated with a banquet. More recently, Sunrise Soa won the Nagoya Daishoten (January G3) and the 25th Heian Stakes in May. Structurally, Tomita Bokujou is a small family company. Its workforce is described as about five grooms, a working-holiday worker from South Korea, a nearby farm that boards horses for it, the owner-couple, and the owner's 89-year-old parents. A daughter who had helped in recent years married and moved to Tokyo. The farm also operates the Oromappu upbringing farm (オロマップ育成牧場), about five minutes' drive away on the opposite bank of the river, where young horses are raised on wide pastures from around October of their foaling year until the following October–November. This is an early-stage upbringing with no ridden exercise; afterwards the horses move to a riding-training stable — Tomita Stable or another facility — to begin training as racehorses. The Oromappu operation is jointly managed by three farms: Shinsei Bokujo (known for Machikane Fukukita), Kanenari Yoshida Bokujo and Tomita Bokujou. The farm's grounds are also notable for their cherry and azalea trees, collected and tended by the owner's parents; the cherries were left standing when the hillside was converted to pasture, so their age is unknown. In spring, the May cherry blossoms and June azaleas are a feature of the property. The company is registered as 有限会社 富田牧場, with Hideo Tomita as representative and six employees including part-timers. As a private, family-owned breeding farm, it remains part of the traditional Hokkaido bloodstock industry rather than a listed corporate group.
