This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience both thrilling, awe-inspiring, and surprisingly relaxing! The idea that you’re flying in the air from a high bird’s eye view is most definitely exciting, but the view is what’s jaw-dropping. Most fliers gasp with admiration at either the perfectly lined farming fields or the gorgeous Tokachidake mountain range.
Anyone can run* up into the sky with an experienced guide. Paragliding is available all year round. *You’re literally required to run with the guide to lift off the ground! Fun!
Most hot-air balloon rides are attached to a string on the ground for short up and down trips only. But here at MPG Sorachi during the winter season, you fly over Furano freely over the mountains! The crisp winter clear skies offer picture-perfect perspectives. The experienced guide Sato-san can take you and the whole family for a safe ride over Furano’s wintery white ski slopes.
