Yamagata Rice Terrace Paragliding

Enjoy a view of rural Japan like no other as you take to the skies and soar over the sprawling rice terraces of beautiful Yamagata Prefecture.  This experience takes place in Nanyo, Yamagata, which sits in the Northern part of the Okitama basin and is most famous for its agricultural prosperity, especially its wine.

 

Anyone can fly! In order to participate, there is no prior experience needed as participants will fly tandem-style with a passionate English-speaking guide with over 30 years of paragliding experience. 

 

This experience includes transportation to and from Akayu Station, which is located just 35 minutes away from Yamagata station on the Yamagata Line, with a fare of ¥590 one way.

 

This experience will also include GoPro footage of your flight so that you can remember your adventure for years to come.

 

Please note that due to inclement weather conditions, there is a possibility that the activity may become canceled or postponed. In that case, the participant will be notified the night before and offered a refund.

I was actually really freaked out to do this before I tried it but Mr. Kanai-san was so nice and experienced that I felt completely safe! Not only did I feel like it was safe, I had an AMAZING time and would honestly do it again in a heartbeat!!!
