＆Shinshinotsu
Watching gliders fly through the blue sky like birds can be a wonderful feeling all by itself
The Shinshinotsu gliding area, held by the Sapporo Flight Association, is located in the middle of the Ishikari plains, on the banks of the Ishikari river. Here are some gliders in flight. Members enjoying flying sports through "winch flight". Just watching takeoffs and flight is exciting. If visiting to watch, talk to the blue car by the runway from the bank roads, since the fast-moving wires and gliders can be dangerous. They’ll guide you to a safer spot to watch from. On sundays and holidays you can also try riding for yourself. Talk to them on-site. Enjoy feeling like a bird in the sky. However, bear in mind that if there are many people it might not be possible for everyone to fly.
