Ikebukuro centers on one of Tokyo’s busiest train stations, ringed by department stores, arcades and a growing Chinatown around its north exit.

It has also become a hub for otaku culture aimed at female fans, with Otome Road running parallel to Akihabara’s more male leaning shops.

Sunshine City adds an aquarium, planetarium and observation deck to an already dense entertainment district.
