About The Park
An outdoor playground made for the residents of Toshima-ku (although anyone can enter).
It’s located next to Ikesun Park in Ikebukuro, and you can get there by train or bus, including this cute Ikebus which goes all the way to the entrance of the park. It’s catered towards children in elementary school and under and their parents.
Enjoy the park for an hour.
There’s a mini SL train called Ikeden, which was the top attraction for my 2 year old.
