Tour Highlights
- Why not try a hot air balloon ride floating gently in the sky filled with morning light? It’s a tethered flight, so you can experience it casually, and still make it back in time for breakfast!
- The morning sun rises from behind Mt. Yotei, illuminating the mountain. It’s a fantastical sight that is so beautiful it will leave you speechless!
- The view is amazing! Enjoy the endless greenery and the mountains of the Niseko range.
This is an early morning activity at the beginning of the day. Why not wake up a little earlier and have an unforgettable morning by joining this tethered hot air balloon experience? Pickup is free and available from Niseko, so it’s even easier to join this magical early morning trip!
See the morning sun pouring down from Mt. Yotei, also known as “Ezo Fuji,” and the lush nature and townscape of Niseko from above. Sometimes the Niseko townscape is completely hidden by the clouds, and you can see the famous sea of clouds.
Even small children can ride. There is no age limit- children under 2 years old ride free. When the hot air balloon is inflated, the sound of the burner is quite loud. If you and your children are okay with that sound, anyone can ride.
The hot air balloon is a tethered flight, so the experience takes about 5 minutes. We often reach full capacity early on during long holidays and other times, so we recommend making your reservation as early as possible!

It was amazing to see the sea of clouds!
I participated with my family. As we rode in a hot air balloon in the refreshing early morning air, we were able to see a wonderful view of a sea of clouds at the foot of Mt. Yotei. It was a very memorable scene from my trip to Hokkaido. I would definitely like to try it again. (This review has been machine translated) -
blue sky!
It was an amazing experience to ride a hot air balloon for the first time in a long time! It was cloudy the day before so I thought it wouldn't work, but it cleared up beautifully and I could even see Mt. Yotei. It was so beautiful and the air was so fresh that it helped me forget all my daily fatigue. It was worth getting up early and trying to get going. I'd like to ride it again if I get the chance.

The fog has cleared...
The previous day, I was so excited about JAPAN's match against the Netherlands that I couldn't sleep, and I was worried about whether I would be able to wake up in the morning, but I managed to get up at 5:40. When I opened the curtains... it was completely white! I prepared myself for it to be canceled, and waited for the guide's call at 6:00. At exactly 6:00, the guide contacted me and said, "The tour will go ahead." I hurriedly woke up my family and headed to the PURE venue next to the Hilton. However, it was foggy... well, just floating in the sky was a valuable experience for my 3rd grade elementary school student and 2-year-old, so I waited for my turn for 15 minutes. And... the fog cleared and the sky was blue! The rest is... there's no need to say anything else. Since it's not a free flight, the tour rate is high, the price is reasonable, and it's a recommended program for small children! (This review has been machine translated)
