Private Sakai Tour with Helium Balloon Experience

At the long-established "Maruman Honke Sakai Branch," which has been in business for over 160 years, we offer a special lunch where you can enjoy seasonal dishes and the famous fish sukiyaki. In a calm Japanese-style space, meals featuring carefully prepared seasonal ingredients are served as a course so you can enjoy them leisurely. Please enjoy a meal that is structured so you can casually enjoy authentic flavors even during lunchtime. *Please note that the menu this time does not include raw eggs. 2

We change into kimono and enjoy tea and sweets at Shin'an. Sakai is a place where the culture of tea ceremony is rooted. You can experience the “art of Japanese etiquette,” which you rarely have the chance to encounter, such as how to make matcha, stories about tea utensils, and the history associated with Sakai. Sitting down on the tatami and taking a deep breath offers a quiet moment that can be described as a highlight of the trip, providing a calming experience.

The view from the night balloon shows a completely different expression from the daytime. Boarding a tethered balloon and experiencing the lights of Sakai and the illumination around the Japanese garden from above takes you into a special time of "extraordinary" in just a few minutes. The balloon, illuminated by light, is perfect for photography. Under safe management, the moment of ascending while feeling the gentle breeze is so moving that both children and adults can't help but express their amazement. *Note: The event may be canceled or shortened due to weather conditions.
