Bungy Jumping in Minakami

Short of ways to terrify yourself? If so, head down to the bungy bridge in Minakami, get yourself strapped to a bunch of rubber bands and hurl yourself off a bridge. Bungy jumping was invented by crazy people in New Zealand and is making a hit over in Japan. Minakami boasts Japan's only bridge bungy over the Tone River, and if you weren't too terrified, you get to enjoy a stunning view of the surrounding mountains, the river gurgling away 40 meters below you and tiny little rafters looking up at you. Fear not, as they are going to bigger very quickly as you plummet to the river below. With a bit of luck the bungy cord will do its job and bounce you back up the way you came.

The bungy jumping operation is run by Bungy Japan and runs from spring to mid-November, so still time to see if you have what it takes...
