Floating sensation!

First, I watched as they inflated the balloon right in front of me, and I was surprised by its size! From there, my excitement was through the roof. Once we got on and gently floated up, the feeling of weightlessness was indescribable! Although it was a short time, it was a very satisfying experience. That morning, it seemed the wind was strong, and they couldn't fly, so I felt lucky that everything went smoothly and we were able to take off without any issues.まず、目の前でバルーンを膨らませて準備していくのを見ていたのですが、大きくてビックリ！そこから期待感満載でした。
いざ乗って、ふわりと浮き上がっていく浮遊感は何とも言えません！短い時間でしたが、とても満足な体験でした。
同日の朝は風が強くて飛べなかったようなので、準備も順調、すんなり飛べてラッキーでした。

First hot air balloon experience under the blue sky.

I rode in a hot air balloon for the first time in my life! Hearing the sound of the gas up close heightened my excitement, and the feeling of floating as the balloon lifted off and the ground gradually moved away was so much fun. We ascended and descended a couple of times, the weather was great, and I enjoyed the 360-degree view from a different perspective than from the ground.生まれて初めて熱気球に乗りました！間近で聞くガスの音もワクワク感を高揚させてくれ、気球が浮かんで地面が徐々に遠くなって、宙に浮かんでいく感覚が楽しかったです。2度ほど昇降し、天気もよく、地面からとは違った視点で360度景色を楽しめました。

I was torn between the early morning and the evening, but since summer mornings don't really have sunrise at that time, I decided on the evening when I felt more awake and in better shape. Lighting the burner is noisy and hot, so it's not exactly comfortable, but you can experience a unique feeling of floating twice. If everyone participates, it might be hard to get the important photos, so it might be better for one person to stay behind as the photographer. This was also a valuable experience.… I was torn between the early morning and the evening, but since summer mornings don't really have sunrise at that time, I decided on the evening when I felt more awake and in better shape.

About 50 people participated at once. You can board on a first-come, first-served basis, so be mindful of your dinner reservation time. 早朝か夕方かで迷ったが、夏は早朝といっても朝日が出る時間ではないので、夕方の方が眠くもなく体調もいいので、夕方にして良かった。バーナーを点けるとうるさいのと熱いので快適とはならないが、なんとも言えない上昇浮遊感が2回体験できる。全員参加すると、肝心の写真が撮れないので、1人は乗らずに写真係になった方が良いかも。これも貴重な体験だった。一度に50名くらい参加していた。早いもの順に乗船出来るので、予約の夕食時間に注意
