If you don’t live in Japan, you probably won’t be thinking about going to an amusement park other than the Disney Resort in Tokyo or the Universal Studio in Osaka. But think twice when it comes to the Brazilian Park Washuzan Highland (ブラジリアンパーク 鷲羽山ハイランド). Not only has it got the common attractions such as the rollercoasters and the Ferris wheel, but there is also the world’s scariest bicycle track!
Cycling 16 meters above the ground, if you aren’t afraid of height, you can burn fat while enjoying the panoramic view of the Seto Ōhashi Bridge and the Seto Inland Sea!
Of course, taking the couple of thrilling jet coasters is another way to enjoy your time in the amusement park and the surrounding magnificent scenery.
In summer, from late June to late September, you can also escape the summer heat by swimming in their pools (^_-)-☆.
For more information about the park, please visit their official website HERE.
Important: If you are vegetarian, please bring some snacks/bento boxes with you because the restaurants in the park aren’t vegetarian-friendly.
Bungee Jumping at the Brazilian Park Washuzan Highland
For the thrill-seekers, don’t miss out on the opportunity to jump down from 170 meters above sea level (30 meters above the ground)!
The difference between Bungee Jumping at the Brazilian Park Washuzan Highland and elsewhere around the world is the awesome view of the Seto Inland Sea (plus some Brazilian elements, of course).
It will cost you 2,000 yen per jump, so remember to bring enough cash with you if you are up for this challenge!
