It is me Sunita.<br \/>\nLast time we visited the &#8220;VR ZONE Shinjuku&#8221; for an interview and experience including some of the VR activities. This time, I would like to introduce to you another one of these activities that  I recently experienced today at the VR ZONE. <\/p>\n<p>The name of this activity is <strong>\u201cExtreme Courage Test Machine Fear of Heights: The Show\u201d<\/strong>.<br \/>\nIn this activity, you have to rescue a small kitten that is on the other side of a narrow plank which is only 30 cm in width. The VR gave me the impression that I was outside of the building, balancing 200 meters above ground level.<\/p>\n<p>Before starting an activity, you will need to wear shoes and gloves, which both contain built in sensors. Lastly, you will then be fitted with the VR box and headphones! <\/p>\n<p><strong><font size=\"3\" color=\"#00AA90\">My heart starts to beat faster. I was very excited and nervous at the same time!<br \/>\nThe activity will now begin!<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yokoso-shinjuku.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/waiba-vr-zone-experience1.jpg\" alt=\"vr-zone-experience\" width=\"550\" height=\"225\" \/><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reday to go!!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The first screen of the VR was the located in the elevator hall of the building. From there I took the elevator up, as advised by the member of staff.<\/p>\n<p>The elevator was so fast, as it took me to a height of 200 meters in a matter of a few seconds. When the door then opened and I saw a kitten at the end of this plank, which was only 30cm wide. It was waiting for me to help them.&#x1f408;<\/p>\n<p>I tried to take one step on a plank and look down\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong><font size=\"4\" color=\"#00896C\">WOW!!!!

So I took courage to walk out ahead, stepping slowly and carefully. Then came the another twist\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong><font size=\"3\" color=\"#00896C\">The plank is so rattling that it got more difficult to balance it and felt scarier!!<\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From here I cannot even go back now, so I give up walking and decided to crawl on my hands and knees. <\/p>\n<p>I moved slowly, edging forward, little by little, before finally managing to reach the position of this poor kitten. <font size=\"4\">&#x1f60a;<\/font><\/p>\n<p><strong><font size=\"4\" color=\"#00896C\">Hurray!!!!!

I did it&#x270c;&#xfe0f;<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<br style=\"clear:both;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But It was not over yet, I had to go back to where I had come from before the this was over.<font size=\"4\">&#x1f630;<\/font><\/p>\n<p>What do I do now?? How do I go back???<font size=\"4\">&#x1F914;<\/font><\/p>\n<p>It was impossible for me to switch the directions and turn back on a plank with a width of only 30cm, so I decided to go in a reverse, moving backwards until I had finally reached the safety of the elevator once again!<\/p>\n<p>After rescuing little kitten, I got inside the elevator and returned back down to ground floor or first floor.<br \/>\nWhen I reached the first floor, a new cat was waiting in front of the elevator.<\/p>\n<p>To complete this activity was very scary but I am glad that somehow I managed to succeed at this activity!<br \/>It was the best experience I have ever had in my life.<\/p>\n<p>Please try it at least once and test your own courage!<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"4\"><strong>For interview report of VR ZONE Shinjuku \u3000\u261e\u3000<a href=\"http:\/\/yokoso-shinjuku.com\/en\/sightseeing-spot\/vr-zone-shinjuku\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Interview Report<\/a><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p>(Written By: Sunita Waiba)<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"4\"><strong>Information<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<table class=\"table table-bordered table-striped\">\n<tr>\n<td>Shop Name<\/td>\n<td>VR ZONE Shinjuku<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Address<\/td>\n<td>1-29-1 Kabukicho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>TEL<\/td>\n<td>03-3200-8076\u3000\u203bReception time 9:30-18:00<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Business Hour<\/td>\n<td>10:00-22:00 (Final Entry 21:00)<br \/>\n\u203bActivity Final Admission 21:30<br \/>\n(Some activities may close early, depending on the number of people waiting in line.)<br \/>\n\u203bFood Last Order: 21:00\/Drink Last Order: 21:45<br \/>\n(Take out will be sold until 22:00.)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Closed<\/td>\n<td>None<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>URL<\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/vrzone-pic.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/vrzone-pic.com<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>NOTE: Facilities information such as price, opening hours, closing time or additional details may be subject to change, so please be sure to check the latest information directly at the official site.<\/p>\n<p><font size=\"4\"><strong>Access Map<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3240.243332795145!2d139.6987443152592!3d35.695629180191034!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x60188cd7edf0e2d3%3A0x30844a43a1255386!2sVR+ZONE+SHINJUKU!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1506926421539\" width=\"100%\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello!
