First hot air balloon
We participated as a couple (both in our 60s). We were surprised at how loud the balloon and burner were! When we got into the gondola, we struggled because our legs were too stiff to lift (^^;) We really enjoyed the sensation of the hot air balloon slowly rising and descending. It was only a few minutes, but we were very satisfied!!! We called from our lodging in Obihiro to confirm. We were told that it would be smoother if we sat in front of the group, and we arrived in just 10 minutes! We were able to experience it before it got crowded.

Family balloon experience
It's been a while since we last visited Obihiro. My 4-year-old and 7-year-old kids really wanted to ride in a hot air balloon, so we went for a try. It was the end of July, but it wasn't as cold as we expected, and the kids were a little hot in their long-sleeved clothes. I was worried about whether we'd be able to find the experience location, Hanakku Square, without getting lost, but there were a lot of people there so we found it right away. The kids weren't scared at all, and they enjoyed the loud sound and heat of the burners, and the early morning Tokachi scenery. Maybe it was just good timing, but we were glad we could ride with just the family. Next time, I'd like to try a longer ride. (This review has been machine translated)

Balloon Rides
I live in Hokkaido, but I've always wanted to try riding a hot air balloon, so it was a great experience. My parents-in-law, who have always lived in Obihiro, were also happy, saying it was a valuable experience. (This review has been machine translated) -

First hot air balloon experience
I participated with a friend and my 3-year-old child! It took longer than expected from the hotel, and we ended up just before the reception time, but they were happy to let us in. Unfortunately, it was cloudy and we couldn't see the scenery very well, but it was a fun first experience. Next time, I'd like to try a longer ride! I recommend it ♪ (This review has been machine translated) -
Hot Air Balloon
When I went on a family trip to Obihiro during Golden Week this year, I rode in a hot air balloon for the first time in my life! The staff were very kind and although it was only a few minutes of flight, they told me all kinds of stories, and the view was amazing. I was able to spend a very pleasant early morning time, so it became a good memory. (This review has been machine translated) -
First hot air balloon ride in a vast area!
I was excited because it was my first time riding a hot air balloon, but the balloon was bigger and more impressive than I had imagined, and it was quite high up, so I was overwhelmed. Although we mostly just went up and down on the spot, I was able to experience the excitement of a hot air balloon. Next time I'd like to try a free ride. The only things that were a bit disappointing were that getting on and off was difficult, we ended up being crammed in with other groups, and access to the balloon launch site was inconvenient.

Enjoyed by my family of four
I experienced a hot air balloon ride at the end of July! It was a shame that it was a bit foggy, but we were all very excited by the sound of the flames and the feeling of floating up. The view from the hot air balloon was beautiful, and it was fun because it was my first time getting on and off. I arrived 30 minutes before the flight time, so I was the first to board, so I think you don't need to rush. However, the tour bus arrived around the time of the meeting, so there was a line of people waiting, so it would be better to come with a little extra time to board smoothly. When I went, there were two staff members, and it looked like they were busy getting ready. After the balloon was ready, you tell them your name and pay the fee. If you apply here, you should be able to ride at a discount, but the staff member charged me the regular price, and when I told them I applied here, I got the discount. I think it's better to be careful about this kind of thing. (This review has been machine translated) -
First hot air balloon experience★
On July 22nd, we stayed at Tokachigawa Onsen Daiichi Hotel and enjoyed a hot air balloon ride in this park, just a 5-minute drive away! Since the ride is dependent on the weather, it's a matter of luck, so we were lucky that it didn't rain and we could ride. I was surprised at how big the balloon was, much bigger than I had imagined. We were able to get a panoramic view of the Tokachi Plain, and it was a great memory on the last day of our trip! There were also small children riding after us, so I think it's an experience the whole family can enjoy. Thank you! (This review has been machine translated)
