Large balloon sightseeing flights are very popular as a tourist activity in various parts of the world, such as Cappadocia in Turkey, Melbourne in Australia, and safaris in Africa. Large hot air balloon sightseeing flights approved by the Japan Hot Air Balloon Association have begun for the first time in Japan. As a pioneer, we will start our service at the Watarase Reservoir, a Ramsar-registered wetland in Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture. You can see Mt. Fuji and the buildings in the city center from the center of the Kanto Plain, and a sightseeing flight while watching the sunrise from the sky is perfect for creating memories with family and friends. We will also take commemorative photos in the sky, so please use it for family memories, unforgettable proposals, and birthday surprises for friends. You will ride an 8-seater hot air balloon and fly for about 45 to 60 minutes in the sky at a maximum altitude of about 1000m. (Depending on weather conditions, the altitude may be lower and the duration may be shorter.) During the day, air warmed by the sun rises (updrafts), making it difficult to control and impossible to fly, so we fly in the early morning when the wind is calm. People of all ages, from children to the elderly, can board the flight. Please enjoy an elegant journey in the sky. - Schedule for the day - 1. Gathering and boarding precautions: 5 minutes 2.
