Saw this page listed over on Gizmodo with a plea for translation, so here we go.
According to their report page, these photos were taken July 30 2000 in a field in the middle of nowhere, Okayama prefecture. The Gundam was constructed not out of “Gundamania” but because they “wanted to build a bipedal walking vehicle.”

Hi,
I actually visited the Gundam outside Kurashiki in Okayama. It is next to a conbini and is in a little shed, with a sign next to it talking about Z Gundam. If you want the pictures I took of it, please email me. It was really cool looking in person!>
