Not far at all from Asukayama Park (7 mins by taxi or 17 mins on foot) is a much smaller Tokyo suburban playground Oji Rokuchome Jidou Park with a giant robot with a double slide.

It’s tucked away and is a very small park. I would only travel there especially if you’re in the area as it’s a bit worn down. That said though, my kids had the most fabulous time here. There is a 7-Eleven right across the road so we grabbed lots of different snacks and drinks.
I really wanted to visit this playground after seeing a range of Japanese playgrounds at night photo series by photographer Kito Fujio . You can see the article on the website Spoon & Tamago.

It was also a boiling hot day so the kids played with the water fountain too.
