In Okayama, in the city of Kurashiki, there is a park called Washuzan Highland and for some reason, it is named Brazilian Park. In this park, in addition to various Brazilian attractions and rides, there is a kind of roller coaster 16 meters high where you pedal a sort of two-person bicycle. This attraction is called SkyCycle.
Of course, all this at a low speed and without many curves, since the trails are on top of a mountain and have no security beyond a simple belt. The journey takes about 3 minutes and you can enjoy the view of the park, the city and the inland sea of Seto.
The slogan of the English site for Washuzan Highland says: Enjoy the beautiful view of the sea and the sun surrounded by the rhythm of Samba. Enjoy Brazilian dishes and performances. The park also has several roller coasters, an ice skating rink, and even Bungee Jumping. For details, visit the official site by clicking here.
