Roadside Station Kume-no-Sato Gundam
563-1 Miaoi, Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture

At the roadside station "Kume-no-Sato" in Tsuyama City, Okayama Prefecture, an astonishing sight unfolds that will make you do a double-take. There, a gigantic robot towering at 7 meters stands majestically!

This 7-meter tall mobile suit was designed by Shoichi Nakamoto, a resident of Tsuyama City, who was born in 1964 and was 35 years old at the time of completion. He single-handedly crafted it based on his own design documents, conceptualizing a bipedal manned general-purpose machine that can be piloted by a person in the cockpit to walk and perform various tasks. After seven years of work, it was completed in December 1999 (Heisei 11).
After graduating from a local technical high school, Nakamoto worked as an engineer for an automobile manufacturer. However, feeling that he had to pursue the creation of the mobile suit, he convinced his parents and returned to his hometown, continuing the project in between his daily job.

Now, knowing that this Z Gundam has a cockpit, who wouldn't think, "I want to ride it too!"?

In fact, this Gundam can be piloted on the festival day held once a year. The festival is called the "Sennin Matsuri" at the roadside station Kume-no-Sato. Limited to 120 groups, you can experience the cockpit ride. Riding the Gundam on festival day is reminiscent of the opening scene of ∀ Gundam.
