No power lines and you'd make safety landing but penalty will be charged if you make outside landing. Never make landing on plowed field before cropping. Some lifting while approaching on a day of strong thermal condition. |

Beutiful view of Nakagawa river running meandering and Karasuyama basin looking down below every four seasons. Beginners can practice take off and landing in short distance and pilots would enjoy flight taking advantage of ridge lift and thertmal lift . You woud gain altitude of 1,500m or more and see ocean when good condition given. Pilots frequently visit and not get bored. The area is managed by nonprofit organization and cooperation of local residents. Visitors who make safty flight following rules of the club and area are most welcome. Feel free to vist. |
