ZIP LINE opening soon at the HANAZONO Activity Centre! July 29 2010, 1:54pm via nisekotourism.com

Set to open Saturday, 31 July, the latest addition to the Hanazono Activity Centre is the Zip Line, one of only a few zip lines in Hokkaido and one of the longest in Japan. A zip line is an inclined cable strung between two points, with the harnessed rider attached to the cable with a pulley-like device that allows a ride down the line with the force of gravity. Two zip lines will be on offer at the Hanazono Activity Centre, one 200m in length, the other 230 allowing a ride across the Hanazono basin and the Summer BagJump. More information will be available soon on the website.
