I was treated to a tandem paragliding experience.
We were blessed with good weather, and although it was a short time, it was a wonderful experience.
The instructors were all very kind, so I was able to fly with confidence.
I'd like to visit again.
An area where you can see Mt. Kinkei right in front of you.
There isn't much of an elevation difference, but if you go up, you can extend your trip to Mt. Hakuun. Two-person rides are also available if you make a reservation.
I went paragliding for the first time in my life.
Watching other people flying up close,
I was worried if I could do it myself,
but I mustered up my courage and took to the sky.
The fee was 6,500 yen including insurance,
and you can fly two or three times after that for an additional fee.
Even first-timers can feel at ease as an instructor will be following behind them.
In my case, it was my first time paragliding,
so I wasn't able to quite glide through the sky,
but it was so exciting that I want to try again.
The instructors were cheerful and upbeat, making it a place where even first-time flyers can feel at ease.
This paragliding area offers amazing views both from takeoff and during flight. They also seem to offer introductory lessons and courses for beginners.
On the day I visited, perhaps due to the wind, or maybe because it was a weekday and there were no reservations, or perhaps it was their regular day off?
Beyond the closed gate, there was no sign of anyone.
I've tried paragliding before, but that was tandem. I'd love to try flying on my own someday.
The "introductory skydiving" in Okegawa, Saitama Prefecture, is also tandem and has a weight limit. You have to lose weight to 90 kg to fly.
I wonder if Myogi Sky Park has a weight limit?
