Description
Through this breathtaking experience, you'll have the opportunity to see Japan in a unique way — from the sky!
The morning of the flight, we will meet between 4:00 am and 6:00 am, depending on the season. If you can come by yourself to the agreed-on meeting point, we will meet you there and we can go together to the flight site. If your group is less than five people, we can pick you from your hotel around JR Koga Station. Please let us know in advance.
At the flight site, we'll fly a pilot balloon to check the wind direction and speed and decide the launch site. This balloon is very important to determine the weather on the day. Then, you can join the crew in unpacking and assembling the balloon.
On setting up the basket, we will show you the burner check, and you can try to grip the burner yourself. You may be surprised by its power! After inflating the balloon, you can step inside, take some pictures, and see how the balloon is constructed.
Then it's time for your hot air balloon Japan experience in Saitama! Balloon across the sky for 30–50 minutes and take in incredible views of rural Japan, with Tokyo in the distance.
We will get airborne to catch the sunrise, with the best timing dependent on the season. We'll take you higher and lower, so that you can enjoy the varying altitudes as much as possible. After landing, you can join in with the excitement of packing the balloon as quickly as possible.
We fly all year round. However, in the event of strong wind or rain the flight may have to be canceled.
The minimum number of participants is two people, and the maximum is five.
