Japan Vintage Playgrounds

I love vintage playgrounds so was super happy to have stumbled upon quite a few on our road trip! My love for pastel, metal, wood and kawaii cuteness are all summed up in the photos below - enjoy the eye candy!

Do you guys have a favourite? I think that pink octopus playground is definitely up there for me but the wooden dinosaur and swan carriage are pretty special too :) :)

Vintage Australian Playground

This is the type of playground I remember playing on as a kid. They're quite rare to find these days, so when I drove past one (on my way to a wedding) I had to pull over and take a couple of photos as proof. I'm sure I've talked before about the playground safety reform and the emergence of new safer playgrounds and to be fair I do remember those metal slides got very very hot in Summer and thus a fair point in removing them.  Still, nostalgia runs deep for me and I can't help but get a little sentimental seeing these basic guys still standing. 

I'm crossing my fingers and toes for some cool ones in Japan!
