How Japan's Monster Jungle Changed My Perception of High Places

It's Sunday today and just regained my strength from last night's all-you-can-drink dinner and activities. The highlight of my yesterday's activity was going to the Ariake's Urban Sports Park and I was so glad I visited the place. Let me tell you about our experience yesterday and hopefully you will also try going there! 😊

Monster Jungle

I discovered the place from a shared reel of my friend, and I instantly replied that we should go there before Christmas. Before asking my other group of friends, I looked up online about the place from its location, reservation, and entrance fee. Not only the place has Monster Jungle, but they also have other facilities like skateboarding, bouldering, basketball, pickleball, running stadium, and other food restaurants.

The day came with good weather condition, and we went to Ariake of Koto City. I got pumped up after arriving there as I see the Monster Jungle's tower of obstacle. It was a cold day, but I didn't feel that. Without further delay, the four of us went to the reception area to pay for the entrance fee.

After paying, we were then told to empty our pockets and put it in a locker. Then, we were assisted to wear the harness gear and to watch the television which had several things not to do in the facility such as not bringing any camera. After everyone were done, we were then guided to the area, and I was so excited that I keep hyping up my three other friends.

Arriving below the tower, the safety harness was attached to our gear. Before you go up, you will be told to seat on the air with your feet elevated from the ground in order to test the harness. After doing that, you are free to go up and try every obstacle you choose.

I see my friends doing the obstacle they had chosen, and some were scared, and the other one was enjoying their time. There as a zip line section as well and everyone tried doing it many many times! There’s also a section where you ring a "bell", but it is placed further than the tower so you should gather a lot of courage when trying it.

After an hour of doing every single obstacle there is, we decided to do the one last zip line and then end our activity. Everyone was happy and I was glad that it was worth their time trying it. It was so cold, but my heart was warm. I was really happy, and I want my friends to try it as well.

Afterword

Thank you if you have reached this part. Hope you liked the pictures as well. I could only take few photos as camera was not allowed up there. I hope you got some ideas about the place. If you have visited the place, please let me know. That's it and see you next time! 😄
