On a clear day, you can see the whole of Yonezawa city, the rural landscape, and the 100 famous mountains (Iide Federation, Azuma Mountain Range, Asahi Mountain Range) that surround the basin.

Here is the charm of the hot air balloon flight experience at PUKAPUKA! ◆We will explain the history and mechanism of hot air balloons, and you will experience assembling, launching, and retrieving them after landing! Hot air balloons are the first vehicles to fly in the sky! Our staff will carefully explain the little-known history and mechanism of hot air balloons. Since it is a hot air balloon that you rarely see or touch, please take this opportunity to enjoy the "size" and "power" of hot air balloons! ◆Up to 1000m in the sky. Enter an extraordinary world surrounded by a "floating feeling" and "exhilaration" that is one with nature! Hot air balloons are the only vehicles that fly in the sky that can fly gently without windows or wind resistance. Watch birds flying in the sky from above, touch thin clouds, and look at the clouds floating below... Experience wonderful scenery that you cannot imagine in your daily life! *Depending on weather conditions, it may not be possible to reach 1000m. Please note that the pilot will make a decision based on safety as a priority. ◆Since the meeting time is early in the morning, there are private accommodation facilities where you can stay the night before!
