2007 Saga International Balloon Fiesta

We hold this event again to publicize the Saga International Hot-air Balloon Fiesta and at the same time to introduce the charm of ballooning. The venue is the spacious field at Yoyogi Park. Those who have few chances to see a hot-air balloon are strongly invited to this event. You will be really impressed with its big size. You can not only see it but feel the overwhelming envelope and the gondola with your own hand!

This summer the Saga Ebisu Balloon will make its debut at the park. Besides, you will see some more balloons from Saku City, Nagano, Suzuka City, Mie, and Motegi Town, Tochigi. Your inquiries about this event are accepted by calling us at 0952-29-9000.
