Zipline FAQ
Q Are there any restrictions on the zipline such as age, height and weight?
A Although the standards differ depending on the facility and equipment, most of them are generally limited to participation age of 10 years or older, height of 120 cm or more, and weight of 100 kg or less. Due to the structure of being hung on a rope, it is essential that the weight is within the standard weight and that the harness can be worn. Be careful if you are planning to participate with children in the lower grades of elementary school who often do not meet the standards for weight and height. Check the facility information in advance.
Q What is the best outfit for a zipline?
A Since the zip line is an experience after wearing a belt and harness, it is recommended to avoid wearing skirts and clothes that are difficult to move, and wear clothes that can get dirty. Since it is an activity that slides in high places, it is better to avoid easy-to-remove shoes such as sandals and remove accessories that may be dropped. I also wear a helmet, so if you have long hair, tying it at the bottom will keep it out of the way and smooth.
Q Is there a zipline that adults can enjoy?
A Japan's largest mega zip line with a height of 60m and a length of 510m in Fukui / Ikeda Town glides over the forest from a high place at a tremendous speed. You can experience a magnificent scale and exhilaration from a bird's point of view. Saitama / Chichibu's Canyon Walk & Fly is a round-trip valley zip line that slides down the Arakawa Valley, crossing a suspension bridge made up of only four wires and treads with gaps. It is also recommended for adults seeking a thrilling experience.
