Located next to Shigisan Chogosonshi-ji Temple, the Kaiun (Good Fortune) Bungee Jump offers a unique opportunity to experience both adventure and nature in one unforgettable location.
From a height of approximately 30 meters (100 feet), participants can jump while surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery, historic temples, and the peaceful atmosphere of Nara’s countryside. The experience is known locally as the “Kaiun Bungee” because of its connection to the nearby spiritual sites and its reputation as a symbol of courage and new beginnings.
Participation is completely optional and is not required to enjoy the tour. Guests who choose not to jump can still relax, enjoy the scenery, and watch others take on this exciting challenge.
GoPro rental and video data services are also available as free, allowing participants to capture and keep unforgettable memories of their bungee jump experience.
