I plan to go to asagiri paragliding school which is right next to Mt. Fuji.
Name of the place is Asagiri-kougen. Check the school website http://www.asagiri-para.com/
I have my own gear and often visit this place for flying. Unfortunately my buddy is not in town so this time so I am in need of transportation and interesting company. The school has one day trial courses for some 5000yen. One can actually make small flights (5-10 seconds) from a tiny hill just after few hours of training. Its very safe and hell lot of fun ! If you are not interested in learning how to fly, you could opt for a long tandem joy flight.
-------------------------------------------------
#The plan:
Leave Tokyo early morning and arrive Asagiri around 0900 ish.
Signup up the course you like. Take the lessons, Enjoy flying like a bird.. ^^
Leave Asagiri 1700ish and reach back to Tokyo for dinner.
There are many Onsens in the surrounding area if anyone is interested.
-------------------------------------------------
#How much:
Check the school website for details about the trial courses. ( Lunch is free :p )
For four people, the expressway tolls and fuel cost should be less than 900yen each.

#Remember:
This is fully weather dependent sport. In case of bad weather the schedule change / cancellation is unavoidable!
