3. Tokyo Dome City Attractions: Wonder Drop
Mattia Panciroli/FlickrAt first it starts slowly in a bamboo thicket, so you can enjoy the water and the greenery, but at the end you dive into the water from a 13m (the same height as a 3-story building) drop! It's definitely a thrilling attraction. A few times a day they have a "miracle time" where they make the splash stronger.
