【Summer 2026 Limited Special】Make It a Once-in-a-Lifetime Memory — Experience Fireworks from the Sky by Helicopter.
ARIAir is delighted to present a special summer plan: "Fireworks Festival x Helicopter Sightseeing Flight."
Experience Fireworks from Above in a Helicopter
◆◆ Have you ever seen fireworks from above?
Fireworks displays in Tokyo are popular every year, and the land viewing areas are famous for being overflowing with people.
With a loved one, family, or friends, enjoy the fireworks festival to the fullest in a private space, free from crowds and congestion. This is a unique experience that only a helicopter tour can offer!
Fireworks that are partially obscured by buildings or trees from the ground can be viewed in their entirety from the sky with a 360-degree view. Watching the moment of explosion from directly above or seeing the fireworks bloom right before your eyes is an overwhelmingly magnificent experience. It’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This year, why not take a helicopter ride and have a special fireworks experience without worrying about crowds?
