Takikawa glider flights are an incredible way to see Hokkaido's landscape from the Ishikari Plains to the Daisetsuzan National Park mountain range. Flights last about 30 minutes from take-off to landing. The perfect silence of the descending glider will leave a strong impression that is completely different from an airplane flight.
Tethered, short-duration hot air balloon flights are available in the spring, summer and fall, with operators from Niseko, Furano and eastern Hokkaido flying daily when the weather cooperates. The Hot Air Balloon Festival in Eastern Hokkaido in August is a main drawcard for Hokkaido's ballooning enthusiasts. |
Glider FlightsSituated about 90 minutes north of Sapporo, the Takigawa Sky Park provides glider flights by reservation. There are two types of gliders available, with or without a motor. Flights last about 30 minutes, including instruction, and reach an altitude of 500 meters. Enjoy fantastic views for Hokkaido as you descend silently through the air.
Flights cost 7,500 yen for adults, 4,000 yen for children. |
Hot Air BallooningThe experience of flying in a hot air balloon over the stunning Hokkaido scenery is unforgettable. Flights are available all year around and every season reveals a magical side of Hokkaido's nature: Snow-blanketed landscape with crystal snow effect and drift ice in winter; bright green leave growth and snow-capped mountains in spring; lush forest and checkered farmlands in summer; incredible foliage of endless forest in fall. We'll help you choose a hot air balloon operator according to the season and location to best fit the parameters of your custom-made tour.
