Gate key of the TO is kept by Kyoto Air Sports. Those who resume hang gliding after a long interval or who is not sure about his/her confidence of flight skill are requested to receive training by our towing program. Pilots visiting for the first time must receive briefing about the area. Crescent shape terrain brings condition allowing 600m altitude gain by wind from Biwa Lake and you'd be able to make out/return of the lake and have a nice view of Hikone Castle, one of National treasures. |
