First installed in 1965 after a sculptor ingeniously turned an abstract design into a playful cephalopod, this vibrant attraction is widely considered the pioneer of Japan's famous tako-no-yama playground craze. As the oldest surviving original octopus slide in the country, it has delighted generations of local children with its multi-tentacled chutes and tunnels. Recently refreshed with a whimsical outer space paint theme, it offers a delightfully quirky glimpse into retro Japanese park design. It makes for an offbeat photo stop and a charming piece of Tokyo neighborhood history.
