Large helicopters, 4 to 5 seats

4 flights · from ¥93,400

Most helicopters in our range seat three. A group of four or five either splits into two flights or takes one of the four flights here — one cabin, everyone seeing the same view at the same moment. All four depart Tokyo Heliport: Tokyo 30 minutes by day over the Skytree, the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge and Odaiba; the 30-minute sunset version takes off in daylight and returns once the city is lit; Mt. Fuji 30–35 minutes with an Alphard car transfer, flying to Oshino and Lakes Yamanaka and Kawaguchi; and the 120-minute grand circuit around the mountain, the Five Lakes and Hakone, returning over Sagami Bay. A five-seat helicopter takes 330 kg of passengers in total — still 120 kg per seat, and the pilot balances the aircraft on exactly the weights you declare.

Tokyo from sunset into night · 30 minutes, five-seat aircraft

¥485,100/ per person

Thirty minutes in a five-seat aircraft, leaving Tokyo Heliport as the light goes. The flight opens over Tokyo Bay and the Rainbow Bridge with the sky still colouring, then works over Tokyo Tower and Skytree as the city switches on beneath you — the one flight here where you see both states of Tokyo on the same trip. Five seats means a family or a group of friends flies together instead of splitting across two bookings, in a larger cabin than the three-seat machines.

Private helicopter Tokyo → Mt. Fuji (AS350, up to 5 passengers), Alphard waiting at the pad

¥184,500/ per person

Lift off from Tokyo Heliport in Shin-Kiba and set down at Oshino Heliport right under Mt. Fuji: 30 to 35 minutes in the air instead of two and a half hours on the expressway, with the bay, the city and the mountains beneath you. A seven-seat Alphard and driver are waiting beside the pad for Oshino Hakkai, a ryokan lunch by Lake Yamanaka and the north shore of Lake Kawaguchi. Two ways home: the Alphard drives you back to Tokyo (from ¥830,000), or you fly both ways (from ¥1,550,000). The aircraft is the Airbus AS350, five seats and big panoramic windows; the six-seat Agusta A109 and the three-seat Robinson R44 are quoted on request.

30 minutes airborne· 5 seats

Private 30-minute helicopter flight over Tokyo (AS350, up to 5 passengers), Alphard hotel transfer

¥93,400/ per person

Thirty minutes of private flying over central Tokyo in a five-seat Airbus AS350 with panoramic windows: Tokyo Skytree, Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Odaiba and Kasai Rinkai Park. Take-off and landing at Tokyo Heliport in Shin-Kiba; an Alphard collects you from your central Tokyo hotel lobby and takes you back afterwards. Forty-two minutes at the heliport in all: an eleven-minute safety briefing, thirty minutes in the air, a minute for photos in front of the aircraft. You choose the departure time, and dates are often open even at short notice — for an anniversary, a proposal, or a free afternoon that deserves the city from above.

The full circuit of Mt. Fuji · 120 minutes

¥1,377,600/ per person

Two hours, and the whole point of them is the mountain from every side. The route runs out past Hakone and the Sagami coast, up to the Five Lakes, then all the way around Fuji itself — Kawaguchi below the nose, the crater rim turning through the windows, the lava fields and forest on the northern flank that no road tour reaches. Then back to Shin-Kiba. Four or five seats depending on the aircraft. A clear day makes this flight.

Frequently asked questions

What are the seat and weight limits?
Each seat takes up to 120 kg; total passenger weight is capped at 220 kg on a three-seat helicopter and 330 kg on a five-seat one. The pilot balances the aircraft with exactly these numbers, so we ask for every passenger's real weight at booking. A few kilos understated and the flight is cancelled at the pad.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The weather decides the flight, and the decision reaches your inbox at a fixed hour: departures between 09:00 and 12:00 are settled by 18:00 the evening before; from 12:30 by 10:00 on the day; from 16:30 by 15:00 on the day. If weather cancels the flight you choose a full refund or a free move to another date.
