Plan description

Pets allowed! English support available! This is a hot air balloon experience that can be enjoyed by everyone, from children to adults, foreigners, people who are afraid of heights, wheelchair and buggy users, and pets. We will assemble the balloon together and prepare many photogenic scenes. The experience will be even more moving if you ride a hot air balloon after listening to an explanation of its mechanism and history. From October to mid-April, the tour will also be held in the afternoon, so you don't have to worry if you can't come in the morning. In addition, we also have accommodation facilities where you can stay the night before and a cafe where you can enjoy breakfast so that people coming from far away can participate with peace of mind. *The minimum number of participants is 4 people. Please note that if this number is not reached, the tour will be canceled. Please note that the free flight experience will be held with one person.

A superb view from the city center!

The place to experience it is the Watarase area, where nature remains untouched. Isolated from human activities and home to over 40 endangered species, as well as many wild birds and small animals, this area is just one transfer from Shibuya on the Hanzomon Tobu Line! Even if you can't make it in the morning, you can also experience it in the afternoon (October to April).

A moving experience where you can enjoy the power of flames and the pleasant floating feeling!

We will participate as a member of the crew from the start-up of the hot-air balloon to the cleanup. You will be thrilled by the sound and heat of the powerful burner that assembles the burner and gondola and emits a flame of 1000 ° C or higher. Hot-air balloons that fly after listening to explanations such as the mechanism and history of balloons and techniques for reading the wind and flying should be even more impressive.

Photogenic scenes and options are available!

The hot air balloon alone is photogenic, but we also have options to make it even more fun! We have an old-style inn where you can take photos with a drone, experience glamping, and a cafe where you can enjoy a Japanese breakfast made with Koshihikari rice, a specialty of Kazo City, after your flight (1,500 yen cash on the day). Please enjoy your meal while relaxing after your flight. *Separate reservations are required for lodging. Please contact us if you wish to do so. *Please let us know when making your reservation if you would like to use breakfast.
