Bungee Jumping Experience at Washuzan Highland:
Next, we head to Washuzan Highland, an amusement park perched on a hill where you can enjoy panoramic views of the Seto Inland Sea and the Seto Ohashi Bridge. This place boasts thrilling rides, including a rare bungee jumping experience in the Chugoku-Shikoku region.
Bungee jumping here is the highlight of an adventurous spirit. The moment you leap from the jump platform is a mix of fear and excitement, and the split-second free fall feels like an eternity.
The sensation of the bungee cord pulling you back up is indescribably fun, and you can feel the adrenaline rushing through your entire body. This experience challenges yourself and empowers you to conquer fear.
Once you enter, all attractions except for bungee jumping are free to ride as much as you like, so don't miss out on thrilling rides like roller coasters and sky cycles.
