◆esic (ecyc)It was named by combining ethical (ethical), which means environmentally friendly, and the name of this vehicle, Cyclopolitain (Cyclopolitain). Since ecyc has no windows, you can enjoy the city scenery slowly while basking in the pleasant natural breeze all over your body. Inside the train, the driver will introduce local seasonal recommended spots, such as hidden places not listed in tourist guidebooks and famous stores loved by locals. We will deliver the climate and history of the town to those who enjoy sightseeing, and the everyday life and present of the town to those who use it as an easy means of transportation. Ride the ecyc and experience the culture unique to that region.
ECYC runs at around 10 kilometers per hour, so you can enjoy a different view of the city from walking or traveling by car.
Information other than Japanese will be guided by hand gestures and a simple English or multilingual voice translation application.
Okayama Korakuen is one of the daimyo gardens representing the Edo period. Ikeda Tsunamasa, the lord of the Okayama Domain, ordered his vassal Tsuda Eitada to begin construction in 1687 and completed for the time being in 1700. After that, it was modified according to the lord of the domain's taste, and it has been handed down to the present without drastically changing its appearance from the Edo period. The large lawn, pond, mountain, and tea room are connected by garden paths and waterways, and it is a circular garden designed so that you can enjoy the changing scenery while walking. “Kyomizu,” which has a total length of about 640 meters, goes around the park and becomes a pond or waterfall, creating an excellent water landscape. Along with Kairakuen in Mito and Kenrokuen in Kanazawa, it is also called one of the “Three Great Gardens of Japan,” and is designated as a national special place of scenic beauty. Okayama Korakuen, which was a “place of peace” for successive feudal lords, is still loved by many people from inside and outside the prefecture and overseas.
