  "summary": "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. The suspension bridge is one of the longest in Japan, standing at about 30 meters above the reservoir, while the zip line allows visitors to glide through the natural scenery. The attractions, which opened in July, have already attracted 377 visitors in their first month. The city aims to create synergy with nearby facilities and expects the area around Nanma Dam to become a leading tourism destination.",
