was fun!
I applied because I was fascinated by the amount of the experience and the place where I could participate from the age of six. I have 6 and 11 year old daughters in my house, and I was wondering how much experience I could have and whether I could enjoy it properly. I was able to understand and respond to instructions unexpectedly, and I was able to fly in the afternoon. We as adults were having a hard time. I enjoyed the whole day and was able to experience more than the price.

Review / word-of-mouth experience

was fun!
I participated for the first time with four family members. The instructors were kind, polite, and careful, so everyone was able to relax and enjoy themselves. In the first half, practice start-up and landing operations at a flat landing point. After that, experience fluffy on the slope for a few minutes by car. Whether the instructor's guidance is good or luck, I think it's both, but everyone tried 3 times and all were able to fly fluffy. In order to fly us safely, the instructor predicted the wind to blow, but it seemed to be a strange ability for us who have never done such a thing. Paragliding has come up as a candidate as one of my hobbies! Thank you very much!

Paragliding Frequently Asked Questions

Q What is a paraglider?

A Paragliding is a type of sky sport that reads the wind, catches the updraft, and glide in the sky. While operating the glider, you can enjoy the spectacular view and slowly descend and land. It is also called "King of Sky Activity" because it has a high degree of recognition and many enthusiasts compared to hang gliding and skydiving of the same sky sports.

Q Difference between paragliding and parasailing

A Explain the difference between paragliding and parasailing, which have similar names and are often confused. Parasailing is a sea activity. It emerges by connecting the parachute and the ship and having them tow. The height from the sea surface is about several tens of meters. Paragliders, on the other hand, generally fly off mountain slopes. It has nothing to connect to the ground and glide hundreds of meters high.

Q Types of paragliding experience

A A license is required to operate a paraglider. First of all, let's enjoy the thrill and exhilaration of flying in the sky on a "tandem flight" that seats two people with a licensed instructor. I want to fly on my own! For those who say, "floating experience" is recommended. Although it is several meters high, you can operate the equipment yourself, so it can be said to be the first step to obtain a license.

Q Where can I experience in the Kanto area?

A There are plenty of places to enjoy paragliding in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which is accessible on a day trip from central Tokyo. The Chichibu area in Saitama prefecture, the Nasu plateau area in Tochigi prefecture, and the area around Mt. Tsukuba in Ibaraki prefecture are especially popular. There are many hot spring facilities nearby, so after a half-day paragliding experience, you can heal your body fatigue at the hot springs.
