Night helicopter flight over Osaka (15 minutes)

A night helicopter flight over Osaka is without doubt one of the most exclusive and spectacular experiences you can have in Japan. In just 15 minutes flying over the city at low altitude, you will see illuminated from the air Osaka Castle, the neon districts of Dotonbori and Shinsekai, the Kyocera Dome stadium, the Abeno Harukas skyscraper, the bay area with the Kaiyukan aquarium and Universal Studios Japan. The sensation of seeing Osaka from the sky at dusk, when the city becomes a luminous tapestry, is absolutely hard to forget. The flights leave from Yao airport, southeast of the city. The price per group of up to three people is around 1.600-1.800 USD for a 15-minute flight; there are also shorter or longer routes. The price includes noise-cancelling headsets, live commentary from the pilot, landing fees and a prior briefing. Book well in advance as availability is limited; it is also advisable to have an alternative for days with bad weather.
