Hello to all of you who are visiting Activity Japan, it is often said that you have gained a little weight recently. I'm aware of it, but when I was watching TV while eating ice cream, Robert Akiyama was on a balloon and commented that the scenery was beautiful and that there was no such simple vehicle. I thought it was good. Certainly it looks like a pretty simple vehicle. For me, paragliding is more attractive in terms of "flying feeling" when it comes to flying activities, but I thought it would be good to float in the sky with a balloon, so I checked it out. I will.

What is a hot air balloon?

balloon Is due to the difference in the principle of flying, "heat balloon ""gas balloon "" Rosier balloon It is divided into "airships". The main thing that flies in Japan is heat balloon With a history of more than 220 years, it is positioned as the oldest sky sport. Buoyancy is obtained by warming the air inside a balloon made of light nylon with a burner. The fuel of the burner is gas, and it is a very simple vehicle that only adjusts the rise and fall by adjusting the temperature and leaves the direction of flight to the wind. You cannot fly on windy days, rainy or snowy days, or poor visibility.

There are "mooring flights" that are fixed to the ground with ropes and float around an altitude of 30 meters, and "free flights" that fly freely to an altitude of 500 meters or more without fixing. By the way, " balloon "" Is "balloon" in English, which is the same as a normal balloon, but fever balloon Is said to be "hot air balloon" according to its structure. I learned a lot. There are places where you can experience all over Japan, but this time we will introduce the plans for Saitama Prefecture.

Heat so close to Tokyo balloon I didn't know that I could experience it. For early morning flights, you can stay the day before (additional charge). In that case, you can bring your own tent, or you can stay in a clubhouse that has been renovated from an old private house. Even if you stay in a tent, you can use the indoor toilet, shower, kitchen, and Wi-Fi. You can also glamp the trend, and get a 3,000 yen discount if you set up a tent with the crew. I was a little surprised because I thought that the glamping facility was still built.

If you don't want to stay, please be assured that there is a plan from the afternoon. It's a paid option, but it's also good for surprises on special occasions, as there are also anniversary productions and drone shooting. If you want to experience it again within a year, you will get various options, and if you make the next reservation while boarding, you will get free accommodation, and there are many benefits that repeaters will be happy with. In addition, the autumn campaign is now underway, and you can get great deals such as free campsite usage fees and free Gopro rental. This is until November 25th, so if you are interested, please do so as soon as possible!

Finally

heat balloon Is basically just a ride, so it can be enjoyed by a wide range of people compared to paragliders. If you experience it with the whole family, from small children to grandpas and grandmas, it will be a wonderful memory. It seems that the shop is open during the year-end and New Year holidays, so it seems fun to have a flight experience at the end of 2019 or the start of 2020!
