We sincerely appreciate your continued patronage of HAKUBA Heli Backcountry Adventures.

On January 20, 2026, a serious accident occurred during a sightseeing flight over Mount Aso in Kumamoto Prefecture involving Takumi Aviation Co., Ltd., the company to which we have outsourced our flight operations.

Intensive search efforts and investigations into the cause are currently underway at the site.

We extend our deepest sympathies to all those affected and their families. As a company entrusted with the safety of our customers, we take this incident extremely seriously.

In response, we have received notification from Takumi Air Co., Ltd., the operating company, that it has decided to temporarily suspend all operations at all its bases nationwide until safety confirmation and recurrence prevention measures are implemented.

Therefore, we deeply regret to inform you that all flights for the following program currently operating in Hakuba will also be suspended for the time being.

Suspension Period: From January 21, 2026, for the foreseeable future

We are sequentially sending detailed information regarding future arrangements to the registered email addresses of affected guests. We kindly ask for your understanding and request that you check your email.

Currently, the investigation into the cause of the accident by the operating company is our top priority, and there is no estimated date for resumption at this time.

We sincerely apologize for the significant inconvenience and concern this causes to all guests who were looking forward to their experience in Hakuba and to those who had planned their travel accordingly.

We will provide updates on the situation via our official website as soon as there is further progress.

As an operations team that places safety above all else, we sincerely apologize once again for this situation.
