- Experience the thrill of floating near Osaka Bay! The venue is ideally located for paragliding, with a steady sea breeze blowing in from Osaka Bay. With the sea breeze on your wings, you'll float gently into the air within reach of your instructor. If conditions are good, you'll fly to a height of approximately 2-5 meters above the ground using a rope towing system, just like flying a kite. Enjoy breathtaking views from angles you'd never normally see! If the weather is good, you can even see the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Mount Rokko while flying! The evening course offers a flight while watching the sunset!
