Otaru kid's park Ferris Wheel was made at 1957. This wheel is 6 meters in diameter (8 meters from ground to top). And it has only 6 gondolas.

It's the 2nd oldest and the 2nd smallest Ferris wheel in Japan.*

I felt transported to my childhood :-)

p.s. This Ferris wheel is demolished in the autumn of 2006 because of too old for work.
