Plan Introduction (Early Morning Hot Air Balloon Ride in Tokachi)
This tour is a hot air balloon ride that allows you to enjoy the magnificent nature of Tokachi early in the morning.
The hot air balloon will take you up to 30 meters in the air!
This hot air balloon experience is called a tethered hot air balloon, in which the ground and the hot air balloon are connected by a rope, and the balloon rises 30 meters into the air.
From the sky, you can see the Tokachi River, the Hidaka Mountains, and the endless patchwork fields.
The view from the sky that you can’t normally see is breathtaking!
Since children as young as two years old can board the plane, this is a great activity for families to participate in.
The experience takes about five minutes, including getting in and out.
The venue is very close to Tokachigawa Onsen and a 15-minute drive from Obihiro City, so please feel free to join us to create some special memories before breakfast!
