Z-Leg™, a helicopter charter service from Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group, offers an "Izu Four Seasons Tour" — a scenic journey from Tokyo to Izu in approximately 40 minutes. The service lets travelers enjoy luxurious aerial travel while taking in scenery that changes with each season.
From the unique altitude that only a helicopter can provide, passengers can admire 8,000 Kawazu cherry trees in spring and the emerald green waters of the Izu sea in summer.
In autumn, a bamboo grove path dressed in fall foliage offers a taste of traditional Japanese culture. In winter, snow-dusted mountains and a tranquil coastline unfold below. On clear winter days when the air is crisp, a sharp outline of Mt. Fuji can be seen in the distance. Ground transportation by private car or taxi can also be arranged upon arrival. Dining, activities, and transportation are all fully customizable according to the season.
Departures are not limited to Tokyo — other departure points are also available. The helicopters used by Z-Leg are twin-engine commercial aircraft, chosen with safety as the top priority.
Reference price: from 1,150,000 yen (tax included, one way, helicopter charter)
※The above price applies to the Tokyo–Izu route.
Safety Measures
Z-Leg™ takes a safety-first approach with the following measures:
- Twin-engine helicopters: Twin-engine aircraft (such as the BK117 series) are used, ensuring safe flight even in the unlikely event of a single-engine failure.
- Reliable operations: Flights are conducted in partnership with air transportation companies that have proven track records in doctor helicopter and fire and disaster response operations, under strict safety management standards.
- Alternative transportation: In the event that flights cannot operate due to bad weather, long-distance private car hire and other alternatives are arranged to ensure customers reach their destination.
