Experience a small flight in an anchored balloon. From the ski area, the golf course or from a small farm between the two ski areas, you can fly to 50 meters and enjoy the view with the incredible experience of taking off and landing in a hot air balloon. The experience of taking off and floating just a small way over Furano is something quite beautiful.
