Is there an age or weight limit?

Paragliding is open to a wide range of ages, and the limits differ by course. Mt. Fuji Panorama Sky Walk Course (tandem flight): age 5 and up, 30 kg to 100 kg. Mt. Fuji Panorama Float Course (short flight): age 5 and up, 20 kg to 80 kg. The oldest participant so far was 90. There is no age at which it is too late to try.

Which course should I choose?

If this is your first time, or you would rather not handle the controls and just take in the view from height, choose the Mt. Fuji Panorama Sky Walk Course (tandem flight). If you have flown before, want to fly the wing yourself, or want to share the experience with the people you came with, choose the Mt. Fuji Panorama Float Course (short flight).

What time of year is best?

Paragliding runs year round, and each season looks different: cherry blossom in spring, deep green in summer, autumn color, and snow in winter. Flights can be canceled when air currents turn strong, which happens around the change of seasons and on days with a wide gap between morning and evening temperatures. Conditions can also change during the day, so a morning that looks fine may still end in a cancellation. It is worth knowing that this activity depends on the weather.

【PARAGLIDER】Experience Mt. Fuji from the sky with a paraglider!

“I want a trip that feels different this year”
“I want to make a memory with my partner”
“I love wide open scenery”

If any of these sound like you,

why not fly over Mt. Fuji and see it from the air?

At Asagiri Highland, on the western side of Mt. Fuji, you can go paragliding and find out what it is like to leave the ground.

Asagiri Highland sits at 700 to 1,000 meters, with Mt. Fuji close at hand and open grassland in every direction. It draws visitors for the view alone.

Paragliding starts from that highland.

There are good reasons to try it, whether you want to float like a bird or take the controls yourself.

POINT01

Mt. Fuji closer than anywhere else, with the wind on your face

Yamanashi has no shortage of places to see Mt. Fuji, from Lake Kawaguchiko to Lake Yamanakako and the Oshino Hakkai springs.

From the air it is a different scale. Once you are up, Mt. Fuji, Asagiri Highland, the Izu Peninsula and Suruga Bay are all in view at once, which is not possible from the ground.

With the mountain right in front of you, the sense of being drawn up into the sky is something you can only get here.

The pasture land of Asagiri, the ridges and coastline of Izu, and the blue of Suruga Bay make the view hard to look away from.

POINT02

An instructor flies with you, so first-timers are fine

For a first flight, take the Mt. Fuji Panorama Sky Walk Course (tandem flight), which launches from a drop of about 400 meters with an instructor at the controls.

Because the instructor handles the flying, you are free to take in the lift at launch, the feeling of riding the air, and the view from a height you have probably never seen. People often want to go again straight away.

It is nothing like a plane or a helicopter. You are simply carried along by the wind.

POINT03

Fly it yourself, and share the moment with the people you came with

If you want to handle the wing yourself, or watch friends and family take off one after another, choose the Mt. Fuji Panorama Float Course (short flight), which launches from a 22-meter rise.

It sounds easier than the tandem flight, but handling the wing yourself is the harder of the two, and plenty of people come back for another go.

It also suits groups who want to photograph each other at the moment of launch.

POINT04

A photo no one else has

Scenic photos of this area are everywhere online, but a shot taken from a paraglider in flight is yours alone.

Nothing stands between you and the mountain, and the sky opens up in every direction.

Bring a camera or a GoPro if you want to keep it.
