The Kanuma Municipal Government in Japan's Tochigi Prefecture has introduced a new package featuring a suspension bridge walk and a zip line ride near the Nanma Dam to its hometown tax donation program. The "Nanma Activity Short Course," valued at 5,000 yen, is available to those who donate 19,000 yen and can be accessed through major hometown tax donation websites.
