Takeoff description

Located at an elevation of 645m near the top of Mt. Zojiro in the Central Kyushu Mountains, a very high-relief region with excellent scenery and flying potential, Zojiro is one of Western Kyushu's hidden gems. Access is easy via a 20 minute drive from the landing on a mostly paved road, and there is plenty of space to spread out at least a half-dozen gliders. Top landings are a piece of cake.
