This photo captures what I felt was the "behind-the-scenes of packing up balloons" at the Watarase Balloon Race.

This photo captures the scene of packing up the balloons. The process of slowly folding them up was impressive, offering a close-up view of a sight not usually seen. It was a fascinating moment, like catching a glimpse behind the scenes of the event.The Watarase Balloon Race is one of Japan's largest hot air balloon festivals. Set against the vast natural landscape of the Watarase Flood Control Reservoir, the moment when colorful balloons fill the sky one after another captivates everyone who sees it. We highly recommend experiencing this magnificent sight in person!
