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. :-)

The burner sound like powerful goats resounded in the quiet earth, and at the next moment, if I thought that I left the earth fluently, I went to 30 meters above the ground. Beyond Furano's country scenery you can wish for a brave Tokachi ridge. Since the balloon is fixed with 4 ropes, it is safe even if you are not a bit high at high places.
Had so much fun at this experience! The hosts were super friendly and engaging. 100% would recommend

前日にお電話いただき、ホテルへのお迎えもスムーズに。 当日は快晴無風、絶好の熱気球日和でした。 現地には設営済の熱気球。待ち時間はほとんどなく、子ども連れにはありがたいところ。 設営、片付けを見学したい方は時間が自由になる現地集合がいいかもしれません。 素晴らしい景色と穏やかな説明で早起きに愚図った子どもたちも帰りにはすっかりご機嫌でした。 素晴らしい時間をありがとうございました。
