Two high platforms about 100m apart, as I recall, and a pivot point in between. You put on a harness and do a really big Tarzan swing d-o-w-nnnnn! and then u-u-u-u-u-p the other side, and back and forth until you run out of potential energy, or lunch, or both. Wonder if it's still there. On the other side of the bridge there was a place called "Wan-Wan Ohkoku," "Doggy Kingdom," where you could play with all kinds of dogs of numerous breeds, watch various astounding doggy feats of skill and comical doggy clown acts. it was fun but I think it folded.
