Meet and Depart From Kiyosato Ihatov Hostel
Depart from Kiyosato, about an hour by car or train from Abashiri. The hot air balloon floating in the snowy landscape is enchanting. After safety checks and boarding, the adventure begins.
Unlike tethered flights, this is a free flight guided by the wind, with a natural guide and pilot on board. On clear days, enjoy views of Mount Shari, the Shiretoko Peninsula, and the drift ice-covered Sea of Okhotsk. Experience the extraordinary winter scenery of Hokkaido from above.
After the flight, the balloon is packed up, and you'll be transported back to Kiyosato Ihatov Hostel.
