Skydive Fujioka operates from Sky Field Watarase in Tochigi Prefecture — about an hour and 15 minutes from Kitasenju Station in Tokyo, or roughly an hour via the Tōhoku Expressway. The dropzone exits at 3,800 m (approximately 12,500 ft) with around 60 seconds of freefall — the operator claims this as the longest publicly-bookable tandem freefall in Japan, though variation in load and exit altitude means individual jumps may run shorter. The operation is organised as an NPO (non-profit) — unusual in commercial skydiving and a structural reflection of the operator's training-club origins. Instructor support is primarily Japanese; some English available depending on the day. Group discounts apply for parties of five or more, and student discounts are available for accredited education ID. Beyond tandem first-timers, the operator runs static-line and licensing pathways for Japanese-resident students. The right jump for Tokyo-anchored travellers who can manage a half-day rail-or-car trip north to Tochigi, for Japanese-speaking groups (or English speakers with a Japanese-fluent travel companion), and for budget-conscious tandems. Skydive Nippon at Kawajima in Saitama is the closer Tokyo alternative — about 45 minutes from Tokyo Station against Fujioka's hour and a quarter — while Skydiving Kansai near Toyooka, Hyogo, is the equivalent option for travellers anchored to the Osaka/Kyoto region. Tandem pricing starts around ¥61,000 — the budget end of Japanese skydiving — which explains the steady flow of domestic first-timers. Rail access via the Tōbu lines puts the field within reach without a car, with a short taxi for the final leg — rare among Asian dropzones.
Check in, weigh in, sign the waiver. Twenty minutes of harness fitting and emergency-procedure briefing with your tandem master.

Door open. Roll out. Terminal velocity. Your tandem master triggers the canopy around 5,000 ft.

Cancellation & policies.
Contact operator for cancellation and rescheduling terms. Weather cancellations typically rescheduled at no charge.
Skydiving is weather-dependent. If the dropzone can't fly safely they'll reschedule you at no charge — or arrange a full refund if a new date doesn't suit.
Approved refunds are returned to your original payment method, typically within 5–10 business days. The dropzone confirms the timing.
After booking you’ll be in direct contact with the dropzone — any change or refund is arranged with them. SiA’s team is here if you need us.
Eight real anxieties, addressed.
Tandem operators set their own weight limit (commonly around 90–115 kg) and confirm borderline cases on the day — check the exact limit with this dropzone when you enquire. AFF students have no upper limit but must fit the rig comfortably.
Prabhakar★★★★★a year agoOverall the experience was too good. Me and my friend planned for this event. From booking via website and till the landing it was totally well organized …. Even though the website , the emails and the forms were in Japanese we were able to use google support to translate and get things done , it was not at all a set back. Once the booking was confirmed, the team has send out clear emails about the steps , precautions, venue details. Team had lot of patience to answer all the queries that we had via emails. A Big Big thanks and kudos to the coaches there. There was one common instruction given all members of that particular batch An , AV was played with clear photo reference We were given proper demo of the commands and the action to do for each command. The coach was very specific about if we were able to follow the steps correctly. If we failed to follow any command, we have to redo…. Never gave up until perfection. Then comes the personal coach , who is going to jump with us. He again re iterated the training session to make sure perfection. The coach was very friendly and tool all possible ways to boost the energy and make us feel comfortable. Often cracked jokes and made lot of fun to comfort us. Was impressed with the additional camera man who jumped with us… done a great job in capturing the memories for us… He is like a pro, kind of driving a car in the air… he was just around us to capture the pics/ videos Best part is , the SD cards were given immediately after landing , no need of waiting for it or following up. Over all, everything is well organized and satisfying. Special mention for our cab driver, being a learner we know very basic words in Japanese which has a boundary to communicate in the rural side of japan. This driver friend has taken extra miles to reading all the forms , calling the venue , enquiring the locals and made sure we are on time to the correct venue . He was so encouraging, that he was waiting near the landing ground and took videos of us landing and cheering up. Very well satisfied and life time memories captured Thanks to the team The harness and all we properly
Jyoti Tamsya★★★★★a year agoI did the skydiving along with one friend on 12th Oct’24. The skydiving experience was very very good. They follow strict timeline so everything will be completed on time as per the said timing. Also they are very strict about the timings so make sure to follow that. The trainer jumpers were also very interactive and the good thing was for internationals they provide english speakers so that we can experience the diving fully. Only the instructions was explain jn japanese but since it was a practical instruction, it was not tough to understand 😃. I found only one issue with location if travelling by train, it might be a struggle to find it but if you are travelling by car, it will be very easy to reach the said location. I would suggest you guys experience sky diving with this club surely and you will have lifetime memories to remember. 😃
Bat-Erdene Baasansuren★★★★★2 years agoWe (group of 3) ordered the tickets for the first dive of the day and every staff, coach was so friendly, instructive. English friendly and Agenda was strictly followed. Coaches made sure we had the best & safest experiences, yet they recorded every phase/stages of the flight/jump/dive/landing. They provided SD cards with a quality shooting of GoPro, also made available for IOS transfer directly to iPhones through convertor. The view was, needless to mention, just perfect. Also they they are located in not overcrowded (by residents&tourists) area. Definitely recommend this place.
Airfield gate — operator shares the exact pin and driving directions in the inquiry reply. Fujioka is the customer-facing hub.
Most jumpers drive or use GO or Uber. Parking and transfer arrangements vary by airfield — the operator confirms specifics in the inquiry reply. Plan a 2-hour buffer before your manifest slot for traffic and check-in.
Block 3–4 hours on site for tandem (briefing + climb + jump + canopy). AFF students should plan a full day.
