UP Paraglider School
This paragliding school is located about a 10-minute drive from Kinokawa Interchange on the Keinawa Expressway via Prefectural Route 62 and National Route 424. The Yuriyama Slope on the western face of the 300 meter height above sea level, Mt. Saishogamine serves as the school's dedicated paragliding slope. The school offers both half-day and full-day paragliding experiences. Its staff provides in-depth instruction on the basics of paragliding such as the proper takeoff posture and how to land, so even complete beginners can enjoy the sport. Strong updrafts make the Kinokawa River basin one of western Japan's biggest air sport destinations. Licensed paragliders can even fly all the way to the Kinokawa River flood plains.
