Do you know about the incredible experiences that let you feel the true essence of Japan?
This time, I’m introducing the beautiful scenery of Kyoto from the sky.
You'll be captivated by this wonderful aerial journey that offers some of Japan's most breathtaking views. Having experienced a helicopter flight in Kyoto myself, I'm excited to share this amazing adventure with you.
About a 20-minute drive from Kyoto Station, our destination was JPD Kyoto Heliport (1 Yanagishima, Mukōjima, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto, 612-0000). Typically, a dedicated car will transport you to the heliport, so you don't need to worry about arranging a vehicle. Since we arrived a bit early, we took a brief stroll around the Kyoto Station area before heading to the heliport.
A Special Journey from the Sky
When we arrived, my friend was nervous about her first experience, but the warm smiles and kind explanations from the staff at the reception eased her nerves.
As we listened to the various flight plans, our excitement grew. When it was time to head to the heliport, the staff supported us step by step, making us feel safe and confident about boarding.
Actually, I had taken a helicopter ride at another location before, and at that time, I felt a bit scared due to the shaking of the aircraft and the sound of the wind.
However, the helicopter we boarded this time was surprisingly quiet, allowing us to enjoy a comfortable journey through the sky. Inside the helicopter, we could talk to the pilot and each other through headsets, adding to the uniqueness of the experience.
With the pilot providing commentary during the flight, seeing Kiyomizu Temple and the Kyoto Imperial Palace from above felt like discovering a whole new world.
"My friend was absolutely thrilled with her first helicopter experience," she said. "I was just awestruck by the breathtaking views that can only be enjoyed from the sky. The sensation of the helicopter gently lifting off and the expansive view of Kyoto below captivated me completely."
She was ecstatic about the experience, and so was I.
Helicopter Experience in Kyoto and Beyond
Our experience this time was a helicopter ride over Kyoto, but that's not all.
Space Aviation also offers heli-taxi services to Amanohashidate, one of Japan's three most scenic spots, and to Ise-Shima, a place that breathes the essence of Japan's traditional landscape. Did you know that Ise-Shima is also known for its pearl cultivation? These optional tours allow you to feel the rich culture and nature of Japan firsthand.
The flight around Kyoto we experienced was fantastic, but through these special tours, you can deeply understand the "spirituality" of Japanese culture and its beautiful nature.
Especially in Ise-Shima and Amanohashidate, you can sense the essential elements that support Japanese culture, along with the region's unique cuisine.
Furthermore, Space Aviation's services are not limited to just transportation; they also contribute to the community by providing emergency measures during disasters.
This multifaceted approach symbolizes the considerate and community-focused nature of Japanese companies.
During our helicopter experience, we were not only mesmerized by the scenery from above but also deeply moved by the technology and passion of Space Aviation, which provides value beyond entertainment. They will continue to offer new discoveries and excitement to visitors through their various sightseeing plans.
