心配した天候にも無事に恵まれ、家族みんなで気球体験に初参加しました。楽しみだったからこそ早起きも頑張れました!背丈以上あるヨシの中を 車でかき分けるようにして河川敷に向かう道中もワクワクしたし、他にも気球愛好家の方だったり気球サークルの方があちこちで気球を飛ばしているのを見て、更にテンションが上がりました!少し離れたところでしたが、イノシシの親子にも出会いました! 準備段階では、気球ってこういうふうに膨らませて起き上がるのか!というところから発見が多く、気球の色々なことを教えていただき、知らないことだらけな世界にとても興味が沸きました。 浮かんでいる時は、風が心地よく、遠くまで見渡せて爽快そのもの。もっと高いところまで行ってみたくなりました。 河川敷の下草刈など定期的なメンテナンスするのはかなり大変だろうし、気球一つあげるのも、何人もの協力を要するし、気球愛あってこそできることなんだな、と感じました。 みなさんとても気さくに話してくださったので、とても楽しい時間となりました。他の気球サークルの方も話しかけて来てくれ、嬉しかったです。 こういうことができるんだよ!と是非たくさんの人に知って欲しいです。 朝露で足元が濡れてしまうので、個人的には長靴をはいていくことがをおすすめしたいです。

Booked a fly for 3 persons(1 child) on weekdays. Luckily it turned out to be a Private trip. Shin-san was the pilot and was very cool with lotsa experience. He speaks easy to understand English and tried to keep the crew happy throughout the trip. Had opted for Go-Pro and was worth. The fly was for an hour and took to an altitude of 1250m (max). Lovely and Amazing view. Felt really safe. Landing was super smooth. Highly recommend to below: - First timers (worth the money) - Birthday/Wedding Anniversary. - Couples Thanks Shin-san. :-)
