Kyoto Himba Stakes

The Kyoto Himba Stakes is a defunct Grade 3 horse race organized by Japan Racing Association for Thoroughbred fillies and mares aged four and over, run in February over a distance of 1400 metres on turf at Kyoto Racecourse.
The Kyoto Himba Stakes was first run in 1966 and has held Grade 3 status since 1984. The distance was usually 1600 metres before being cut to 1400 metres in 2016. The race was run at Chukyo Racecourse in 1979 and at Hanshin Racecourse in 1980, 1990 and 1994. The race was discontinued in 2025 due to Aichi Hai replacing its schedule in the calendar as well as Kokura Himba Stakes being created to replace the former's schedule.

Winners since 2000

The 2021, 2022 and 2023 runnings took place at Hanshin while Kyoto was closed for renovation.
