Pets allowed! English available! This is a hot air balloon experience that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to adults, people from overseas, people who are afraid of heights, people in wheelchairs, medical buggies, and even pets. We will work with you from assembly to create many photogenic scenes. Listening to an explanation of its mechanism and history before riding a hot air balloon is sure to be even more impressive. The tour also runs in the afternoon from October to mid-April, so don't worry if you can't come in the morning. There is also a guest house where you can stay the night before, and we will guide you to a luxurious way of spending the night that only pilots know. *The minimum number of participants is 4 people. Please note that if this is not reached, the order will be cancelled. Please note that there is no minimum number of participants for the free flight experience.
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).
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.
It's photogenic with just a balloon, but we have more fun options! We offer special experiences only for winning balloons, such as shooting with a drone and glamping experience from the night before. * A separate reservation is required for accommodation. If you wish, please contact us.

Other notifications | ■Insurance Although we take every precaution to ensure safety, we recommend that participants purchase sufficient domestic travel accident insurance for themselves. ■About the difference between moored and free flight - Moored flight is a method of flying while connected to the ground with a rope. Since it will not be blown away by the wind, you can enjoy a stable floating sensation. At the Winning Balloon Club's Balloon Workshop, you can rise to an altitude of about 30m, float for about 10 minutes, and experience being a pilot.・Free flight is a method of flying on the wind without anything connecting you to the ground. Generally speaking, when you think of a balloon, this flight is what comes to mind. Winning Balloon Club's FreeFlight experience involves a 45-minute flight at a maximum altitude of 1000 meters (depending on weather conditions).・From mid-April to the end of September, there will be no afternoon tours due to the high daytime temperatures, which will cause the atmosphere to become unstable as rising air currents will not calm down even in the evening. |
