The longest roller slide in Japan

I took a little trip into Saitama to ride the longest roller slide in Japan. I'm not sure I have ever seen a roller slide in Vancouver before, so here is a picture:



It's basically that, but super long. It sits on top of a mountain over looking the city with a beautiful view. Usually during the daytime you pay ３００円 ($3) to drive up the mountain and ride it. But, because we didn't want to go on while it was crazy crowded we decided to ride at night time. Of course we had to break a few rules, but we had the entire place to ourselves! Despite the extremely long uphill walk to the top, it was definitely worth going at night time. The view was amazing and there weren't massive packs of scampering kids everywhere. The only bad part about these slides is the amount of friction that builds up on your butt. It seriously starts to burn after 5 seconds of flying down these things. The next day it doesn't get better either, usually your ass bone is really sore from getting the tiny bumps the entire way down. With that aside though, it was totally worth it! After riding the slide a few times, we went to the highest relaxing spot and just chatted and waited until it was too windy to stay any longer.
