A major Japanese heavy industry enters the tourism business with premium travel by business jet and helicopter

Z-Leg, a helicopter arrangement service provider of the  Kawasaki Heavy Industries Group, will provide a premium travel program using a business jet and a helicopter from Haneda Airport to ‘wake terrace,’ a luxury villa in Fukui Prefecture.

It takes about 40 minutes from Haneda Airport to Fukui Airport with a business jet and about 10 minutes from Fukui Airport to the villa with a helicopter. 

The one-way price is 1 million yen per person without accommodation fee. The program is available for up to eight travelers.

"waku terrace" is a private villa situated on a hill overlooking the Echizen Coast, available to only one group per day. Set on a property spanning about 6,600 square meters, it features amenities such as a kitchen, a lounge, and a private sauna, and can accommodate up to 10 guests.

Z-Leg will prepare an alternative mobility, such as a chartered car, if a helicopter cannot fly due to bad weather.
