Overview

This special one-day experience allows you to discover Sakai’s rich cultural heritage from afternoon to night through immersive, hands-on activities. Begin your journey by stepping into the world of traditional Japanese culture, where you can enjoy wearing a kimono and learning the refined gestures and aesthetics of tea in a serene, historic setting. As the day transitions into evening, the experience reaches its highlight with a rare night-time hot air balloon ride. Gently rising into the air, you will enjoy breathtaking views of Sakai’s illuminated cityscape and historic landmarks from above — a perspective few travellers ever experience. Rather than simply visiting sights, this tour invites you to feel the atmosphere, history, and beauty of Sakai through all five senses. Ideal for travellers seeking an authentic and memorable cultural experience, this programme offers a truly unforgettable way to connect with Japan beyond ordinary sightseeing.

Activity itinerary

Sakai

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 flavours even during lunchtime. *Please note that the menu this time does not include raw eggs. 2

Sakai Shin-an

30m
Admission ticket included

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.

Daisen Park

1h
Admission ticket included

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 cancelled or shortened due to weather conditions.
