  • "I want to go somewhere this weekend!" "The weather looks good, so I want to ride in a hot air balloon!" This last-minute discount plan is perfect for people like you, and you can book from one week before the event until 10am the day before. You can enjoy the same hot air balloon experience as the regular plan at a discounted price, but only on dates when there are seats available and good weather conditions are expected. This is an authentic hot air balloon free flight experience featured in episode 6 of TV Tokyo's Drama 25 "Solo Activities for Women 1". For 45 minutes, you can enjoy panoramic views of the Watarase Wetlands and the vast Kanto Plain from a maximum altitude of 1000m (depending on weather conditions). Immerse yourself in the quiet time in the sky that only a balloon without an engine can offer. The flight will be piloted by a pilot who is active in competitions. You can also learn about the mechanics of the balloon while participating as a crew member in preparation and cleanup. English support is also available. Whether you want to fly on a clear morning or your schedule suddenly opens up, why not take this opportunity to experience a special time viewed from the sky? *This plan involves sharing seats, so you will be traveling with other passengers / Date changes are not permitted. *Even with multiple people, you may be in separate balloons (you will be notified the day before). If you wish to travel together, please choose the regular plan.
  • I only open booking slots on mornings when I can fly.
  • The most disappointing thing about a hot air balloon experience is when you look forward to it only to have it canceled. This plan checks the weather forecast and only opens up reservation slots for dates when there is a high probability of flying. Reservations are accepted until 10 AM the day before. The deadline for regular plans is three days in advance, but with this plan you can slip into tomorrow's sky right away. "I want to go somewhere this weekend," "The weather looks good so I want to try it"—such spontaneous thoughts can be transformed into a special experience.
  • A morning that was previously unplanned transforms into an unforgettable one.
  • "My weekend plans suddenly opened up." "The weather looks good for tomorrow." On mornings like these, why not get up a little early and take a hot air balloon ride? Gather while it's still dark, watch the balloon inflate up close, and as you prepare, feeling the heat on your cheeks with each rise of the burner flame, the sky gradually begins to lighten. Then, as the balloon gently lifts off the ground, you'll see the rich nature of the Watarase Floodplain and the endless Kanto Plain spread out below. It's a quiet time in the sky that you can only experience in a balloon without the sound of an engine. For 45 minutes, you'll bask in the gentle morning light, listen to the birdsong, and slowly gaze at the scenery. Before you know it, a morning that was supposed to be unplanned will become the start of an unforgettable day.
  • Even with the discount, the experience is exactly the same as the regular plan.
  • "Is the content different because it's a discounted plan?" Don't worry about that. You can enjoy the exact same experience as with the regular plan. From 30 minutes before departure, you can use the exclusive VIP lounge with complimentary drinks. During flight preparations, you will be actively involved as a member of the crew, and an active pilot will carefully explain the mechanics of hot air balloons, the philosophy of flight, their long history, and the world of competitive hot air ballooning. It doesn't end with just getting on board. In the air, waffles and non-alcoholic carbonated drinks will be provided, allowing you to enjoy a luxurious moment. After the flight, there will be a traditional after-ceremony passed down in various parts of the world. We will toast with champagne and present you with a certificate of boarding. Furthermore, we will give you free digital copies of photos taken by our staff from the ground during the flight. The only differences are the price and the timing of sales.
Only morning flight seats are available at a great price.

  • Question 2: Have you reviewed the contents of the pledge form listed in the terms and conditions on the plan page? (Yes or No)
  • Question 3: Due to the website's specifications, the meeting time is displayed as "5:00," but the actual meeting time varies depending on the day and is [30 minutes before sunrise] as stated in the basic information on the plan page. Have you confirmed this? (Yes or No)

Regarding the cancellation of the event:

  • Regarding the conditions for operation, cancellation notices, and schedule changes: • To ensure safety, flights will not be conducted in the event of rain, snowfall, strong winds (wind speed of 3 m/s or more), or dense fog. • Flights may be unavoidably canceled even at the meeting point. In such cases, we cannot compensate for travel expenses or accommodation costs to the location. Please understand this in advance. • The final decision regarding whether the flight will be held will be sent via email around 12:00 PM the day before. (Please ensure that you can receive emails from our club's email address, which will be provided when your reservation is confirmed.) • If you need to change the date or number of participants, please contact us promptly via the inquiry form.

Important notes regarding course participation:

  • [Boarding Conditions] ・Children under 13 years of age must be accompanied by a guardian. ・Minors must have parental consent. ・For the safety of all participants, this plan is not available to those who fall under any of the following categories: those with high blood pressure, heart, spine, lower limb, or neck conditions, those with epilepsy, those with hyperventilation symptoms, those who have consumed alcohol, those with conditions that may worsen by participation, pregnant women or those who may be pregnant, those taking medication, and those whom the organizers deem unsafe on the day of participation.

Other special notes:

  • ■Regarding insurance: We take every precaution to ensure safety during operations, but we recommend that participants purchase sufficient domestic travel accident insurance themselves. ■Differences between tethered and free flight: ・Tethered flight is a method of flying while connected to the ground by a rope. Since it is not carried away by the wind, you can enjoy a stable floating sensation. At Winning Balloon Club's Balloon Workshop, you can ascend to an altitude of approximately 30m and enjoy a floating experience of about 10 minutes, as well as a pilot experience. ・Free flight is a method of flying with the wind without being connected to the ground. This is the type of flight that is generally imagined when people think of hot air balloons. At Winning Balloon Club's Free Flight experience, you will fly for about 45 minutes at a maximum altitude of 1000m (depending on weather conditions).
  • Hot air balloon ride experience waiver
  • To participate in the experience, you will need to sign a Hot Air Balloon Ride Pledge. Please be sure to review the contents of the pledge before making a reservation. Since everyone in the group must sign the pledge, we ask that the person making the reservation ensure that all members of their group also review it.
