You can fly in the sky while looking at the majestic Sea of Japan, and it feels refreshing! We are constantly improving our facilities so that even children, older people, and those who are not confident in their physical strength or athletic ability can fly with confidence. "Do you think that the paragliding experience at Tottori Sand Dunes is the same no matter where you experience it?" Our school is different. We have multiple staff members who have received specialized training, mainly instructors with over 30 years of paragliding experience, who are always there to support you. While there are many schools run by one person, we provide a safe and secure environment where each customer can be looked after and kept an eye on. [Peace of mind with our dedicated facilities] We have a dedicated parking lot, waiting room, changing room, training room, lockers, and showers. You can spend your time comfortably in both summer and winter. We can store any large luggage! In addition, we can always cover the heavy traffic around the sand dunes with our dedicated parking lot. [Everything can be rented] We provide everything you need on site, from winter clothes, helmets, gloves, shoes, and sunscreen. You can feel safe even if you come empty-handed. [Suitable for the elderly, children, and physically disabled] There are take-off points accessible by car, so many 90-year-olds and people in wheelchairs have experienced the experience! We take the utmost care so that even those who are not confident in their physical strength can enjoy it. Only our school, which has a long history, can do that! [Complete photography support] Multiple instructors will capture your best moment. Another staff member will demonstrate the maneuvering pose in the air in front of you, so you can take a natural smile. If you are alone, you cannot coordinate these things. [Flexible response to strong winds and weather changes] On windy days, we have a system that can provide the best experience according to the situation, such as hang gliding, tandem experiences, and rope towing flights. If you are a one-person school, there will be a big difference in the ability to respond. We are a school that is chosen not for "cheapness" but for "safety, security, and fulfillment". Whether it is your first time, a woman alone, a child, or the elderly, we will provide you with an experience where you can enjoy the sky comfortably. A real paragliding experience chosen by people who know the difference. ◆How to tell the difference - In the case of other schools - They don't have their own facilities, so the meeting place is a corner of a souvenir shop - If the parking lot is full, you have to wait in line - One person handles reception, explanations, preparation, lessons, etc. - Customers are not wearing helmets - They use the "horseback" route, which has a large drop and is difficult to climb up and down - As a result, many tourists can get a close look at the flight P.S. From a business perspective, sales will increase if they can keep expenses (labor costs) down and accept a large number of customers. However, if they keep doing this, the site will become exhausted. Not only customers, but staff will also lose their smiles. What is important? That is what Sakyu Honpo is trying to get to the bottom of!

In the middle of summer, the daytime temperature rises rapidly at the Tottori Sand Dunes. That's why we recommend an exhilarating flight from the high-altitude "Mt. Reiseki"! With the "tandem experience (two-seater)" where you fly with an instructor, even first-time paragliders can enjoy a safe flight in the sky. Mt. Reiseki is a scenic spot where you can see the whole of Tottori city. A flight from the summit (approximately 300m above sea level) will give you a direct experience of the "feeling like a bird" that is unique to paragliding, making it a special summer memory. Moreover, all piloting is left to professional instructors. Participants can concentrate on enjoying the sky and can even take commemorative photos in the air! Even if you are a little worried about flying alone, you can participate with peace of mind. However, since flights from the mountain are easily affected by wind, depending on the weather conditions, we may ask you to change your experience to the Tottori Sand Dunes. We will inform you in advance if there are any changes. Also, during this period (July 22nd to August 31st), due to the high temperatures at the Tottori Sand Dunes during the day, regular paragliding experiences will only be available in the early morning (starting at 6:30). From 9:00 to 17:00, head to the ocean side to cool off! SUP and wing SUP experiences are also available. Enjoy marine activities in the clear waters of the Sea of Japan and an exhilarating flight from Mount Reiseki. Come experience this plan to fully enjoy Tottori in the summer!

Recommended for those who want to try paragliding but are not sure about carrying a glider up a hill in the heat! We will go up the hill in a light truck, so it's easy to explain and practice in the shade of the trees on the mountain. A cold drink will be provided in a cooler box. Mosquito coils are available in the waiting area. After listening to the explanation and doing image training together, all you have to do is follow the radio guidance and fly. We will come to pick you up at the landing point in a light truck. A VIP course that combines the best of both worlds. Reservations can be made for up to four people, and English and Vietnamese are also available (basically from 10 years old, but depending on the wind, children from the first grade of elementary school can participate.
