Operation Period
April-October

Hot air balloon experiences are held early in the morning when there are gentle winds. From sunrise for about 1 hour you will be able to see “Matsushima’s Sunshine Avenue,” an orange glowing path created by the sun reflecting off the sea. The sky is fantastic orange color. That color is reflected on the water surface like a mirror. We want everyone to experience this great view. Even a wheelchair can board the door-equipped flight basket. See Matsushima from a new perspective!
The hot air balloon experience held in Matsushima Town is secured with ropes from four directions and rises to a height of about 20 meters, so you can enjoy the superb view of Matsushima.

| About suspension of the activity | The most important factor in the paragliding experience is the wind. Even if the weather is good, you may not be able to fly depending on the conditions. You can't fly when it's raining. For that purpose, we check the latest weather information to ensure that we can fly. On the day before the experience, please check the conditions and check if the event is held. If it is difficult to determine the forecast at the time, the host company will contact you. |
| Important notes regarding participation | Participants 5 years old or older can join the experience. Please consult with us in advance if you have a disability in your limbs or if you cannot walk. Please consult with us as you may be able to join the experience with the assistance of staff. |
