Skydive Nippon operates from Honda Airport in Kawajima, Saitama — the closest dropzone to central Tokyo, roughly 45 minutes from Tokyo Station via Okegawa. Exits are from 13,000 ft (about 4,000 m), the highest tandem exit altitude of any dropzone in Japan, giving 40 to 50 seconds of freefall followed by a four to five minute canopy ride. On clear days Mount Fuji is visible from under canopy. The operation succeeded Tokyo Skydiving Club at the same airfield.
Check in, weigh in, sign the waiver. Twenty minutes of harness fitting and emergency-procedure briefing with your tandem master.

Cancellation & policies.
Free cancellation up to 3 days before your jump. Inside that window, cancellations and date changes are arranged directly with the dropzone. Times are local to the dropzone.
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.

Airfield gate — operator shares the exact pin and driving directions in the inquiry reply. Kawajima 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.
