    Meeting point with the guide will be at “Apple Port Yoichi”,  they are welcoming their guest at the big tractor-style office, load-carrying tray part.

    First, they will show you the video of the skydiving.

    After you get some images of how to do it, they will lecture you how to fly, and basic flying position.

    After the lecture, it is time to wear the flying suits!

    Wear a thin jacket as your inner, and then put on flying wear which can cover all your body.

    It seems to wear a lot for the active experience, but in the high altitude, temperature can be relatively cold.

    Wearing gloves, thin goggles, and harness connected to the instructor. Now it is ready to go!
