Special flights will be held during the Tochigi City Watarase Balloon Race from Friday, December 12th to Sunday, December 14th! Enjoy the spectacular competition flights and watch over 30 colorful hot air balloons soaring through the skies above the Watarase Reservoir. While the race is certainly enjoyable from the ground, flying from the sky at eye level with the other balloons is sure to be even more wonderful. Don't miss this once-a-year opportunity! *To avoid interfering with the competition, we will fly at a distance from the competition area (you will still be able to see the balloons with the naked eye). For safety reasons, drone filming will not be permitted during this period. Enjoy the spectacular views from a maximum altitude of 1,000 meters with this authentic hot air balloon free flight experience. This extraordinary aerial stroll is perfect for a variety of occasions, from spending romantic time with a loved one to creating special memories with family and friends, to enjoying a luxurious time alone. We also offer options such as drone filming and action camera rentals for 360-degree photography to help you create special memories. This flight experience includes not only the presentation of a "boarding certificate," but also a traditional ceremony and champagne toast to celebrate the first flight. A snack set of waffles and non-alcoholic carbonated drinks will also be provided. These will be handed over on the ground, allowing you to enjoy a special moment in the sky. Since this is an early morning experience, the meeting point also features accommodation for the night before and a cafe where you can enjoy breakfast, so that even those traveling from far away can participate with peace of mind. English support is available, so even international guests can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Japan. Why not take this opportunity to experience an unforgettable flight?

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. Moving to takeoff location: 10 minutes 3. Preparing the hot air balloon: 40 minutes 4. Hot air balloon flight: 45 minutes 5. Hot air balloon collection and return to the meeting point: 70 minutes
