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. :-)

大人3名、子ども3名で普段できない体験を求めて早朝枠に申し込みました。 体験する広場横にはお手洗いもあり、体験の順番待ちで急に子どもがもよおしても安心です。 曇天で景色はイマイチでしたが、熱気球が浮遊するしくみや地上と空中の風向きや風速などが違うので操作が難しいことなど、ガイドさんが分かりやすくお話しくださいました。短時間でしたが興味深かったです。 ただ、私たちが知識不足で”熱気球の係留飛行”がどういったものかを調べずに参加したため、少し物足りなさを感じて今回の★評価とさせていただきました。 体験できる安全面を考慮してのことなので、私のように早とちりせずにご理解されたうえでご参加ください。 実際に体験する醍醐味とドキドキ感は価値大ありです!

Sightseeing flights with large balloons are very popular as sightseeing activities all over the world such as Cappadocia in Turkey, Melbourne in Australia, and Safari in Africa. Japan's first large-scale hot-air balloon sightseeing flight approved by the Japan Hot-air Balloon Business Association has begun. As a pioneer, we will start the service at "Watarase Retarding Ground", a wetland registered in Ramsar, Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture. You can see Mt. Fuji and the buildings in the city center from the center of the Kanto plain, and the scenic flight while watching the sunrise in the sky is ideal for memories with family and friends. We will also take a commemorative photo in the sky, so please use it as a memory of your family, an unforgettable proposal, or a birthday surprise for your friends. Ride an 8-seater hot-air balloon and fly free for 45 to 60 minutes in the sky at a maximum altitude of about 1000 m. In the daytime, the air warmed by the sun's sunlight rises (updraft), which makes it difficult to maneuver and cannot fly, so we fly in the early morning when the wind is calm. You can board at a wide range of ages, from children to the elderly. Enjoy an elegant flight. * As a measure against infectious diseases, we ask that you wear a mask, measure the temperature, and disinfect your hands. ~ Flow of the day ~ ① Precautions for meeting and boarding 5 minutes ② Move to takeoff place 10 minutes ③ Hot-air balloon preparation 40 minutes ④ Hot-air balloon flight 45 minutes ⑤ Hot-air balloon collection ・ Return to meeting place 70 minutes
