【4K実況街ブラ】池袋の街並みが激変！？池袋をぐるっと歩いてみた。変わった穴場スポットも紹介 Walking around Ikebukuro Station

This is Ikebukuro West Gate Park, right? Here we are at the rooftop plaza of Sunshine City. Actually, this rooftop of Sunshine City is a bit like a maze. You can go around here. It’s quite austere here, too. Interesting. We are starting to see some very artistic architecture.

Ikebukuro is a place associated with the Ikebukuro place name, isn’t it? Hello everyone. Search for a place to sit and rest, one of the largest bench search sites in the country, and We operate a website called “Find my town” My name is Penta. Thank you very much for your cooperation today.

I brought a plushie of Penta sitting with me today, so… I would like to take a walk in Ikebukuro with him. I look forward to working with you. Today, as you can see in the foreground We are in Ikebukuro.

Huge terminal station, it has been a long time since I have taken this picture. Ikebukuro station is JR line. Saikyo line, Shonan Shinjuku line, Yamanote line, Tokyo Metro, Marunouchi line. Ikebukuro Station is served by Fukutoshin Line, Yurakucho Line, Seibu Ikebukuro Line, and Tobu Tojo Line.

The station boasts the second or third largest number of passengers in the world. Recently, Hareza and the redevelopment of the east exit has changed the station in many ways. Originally, it was a countryside area, a bleak field with nothing in it.

And then in 1903, about 120 years ago, Ikebukuro station opened on the Akabane line. From there, the Tojo Line and Musashino Railway (now Seibu Ikebukuro Line) The Musashino Line (now Seibu Ikebukuro Line) was connected to Ikebukuro as the starting point of the line.

At that time, Sugamo and Otsuka were the main shopping areas. Ikebukuro was just a transfer station After the Tokyo Air Raid, many people moved to the west side of Tokyo, etc. When Ikebukuro station was developed, they were trying to attract commercial facilities

The number of department stores increased a lot, and from there, we boast the second and third largest in the world. So it developed as a large terminal station. SEIBU” in front of you, one of the seven wonders of Ikebukuro.

TOBU at the west exit and SEIBU at the east exit, as I am currently at the east exit of Ikebukuro station. SEIBU is visible. SEIBU here, I was surprised when I did a little research. They have more visitors than Tokyo Disney Resort. By the way, on the 9th floor rooftop of SEIBU,

I would recommend this place. There’s a garden that you wouldn’t believe is on the roof of a large terminal. And there was a circular table that looked like it was going to be Stylish and recommended. I’ll post a picture so you can take a look. So, I’ve been blabbering on and on…

So, how shall we go around today? First of all, you can see Bic Camera and Parco on the right side. This is LABI1 Japan main store. In front is “ISP. It is called “Ikebukuro Shopping Park.” Like “IWGP.” Like “Ikebukuro West Gate Park” and “IWGP” at the west exit

I would like to start from the east exit today. Best regards. I’m hoping to go to the east exit west exit today. I’m not sure if Ikebukuro is that big in terms of commercial aspects, because In the past, there used to be department stores and restaurants directly connected to Ikebukuro station, so

I mean, you could shop and do things from the comfort of your own home without having to leave the station. It was also called “ekibukuro,” or “station bag. After the opening of Sunshine City, the Metropolitan Expressway No. 5 Ikebukuro line was crossed. I feel that the trade area has expanded.

Roughly, the east entrance is the Metropolitan Expressway and Green Boulevard, The west exit is about as far as Theatre Avenue. It’s like a large downtown area. I would like to cross the traffic light and head towards Sunshine. I mean Sunshine Central Avenue.

You can go straight through here and still get to a lot of things. When I say Ikebukuro, you go to Sunshine and then Tokyu Hands. It was like shopping and going home, but Tokyu Hands has also taken a hit in recent times. Nitori has become Nitori, but

Here it is, there is a western-style cafe and restaurant called “TAKASE I sometimes recommend it when you want to have a quiet hamburger steak in Ikebukuro. A long-established western-style restaurant. I think the hamburger steak was quite juicy. Delicious hamburger steak. They had all-you-can-eat bread, too. I went to Takase in Sugamo.

I remember Ikebukuro, I had a hamburger. I can’t remember when it was, though. From the store above, you know, Ikebukuro East Exit, We have seating where you can watch while eating a hamburger You can also see Takase on TikTok and Instagram.

It is a long-established business that is loved by young and old alike. On the right side, there is a metro entrance and exit Generally, when you go this way, it’s from JR, ISP, or through the basement of the Ikebukuro Shopping Park.

You go through the Metro entrance on the right hand side now, so you don’t really have to go through that I’ve never used the intersection in front of the station. I came from there a little bit today. It’s autumn foliage season, and autumn is in full swing, but

Walking around after a long time, I feel that many stores have changed. Walking about 580 meters, you will find Toshima Ward Office. There are a lot of stores. I think it will be a course that we will wander around. I think I see a coffee shop.

I believe Tokyo Coffee Roll was in the Jiyugaoka video. I think I saw it in Jiyugaoka, and I’m a bit curious. There is a Japanese coffee shop. Wasn’t there something like “Zunda Cafe” before on the left side? I wonder if it’s my imagination.

Recently, Haleza and Tokyo Tatemono Brillia Hall were built on the left side of the building. I was wondering if the streetscape has changed a lot I’d like to go there a little bit later as well. There’s a mermaid cafe on the right side, and it’s incredibly popular on weekends and such.

It’s a great place to eat sweet food type of food. And so on and so forth. We came to the street leading to Sunshine. I knew this was a memorable place or something. It’s the main street to Sunshine. And the game center once it closes.

They’ve been replaced by new stores and so on. This place has changed too. And it’s changed to GiGO. And this one has a movie theater. Ikebukuro means theaters, and movie theaters, too. It’s also a cultural center, isn’t it? Like the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space.

I think there are a lot of things, including the Rosa Kaikan, etc. Looking around to the left and right, I get the sense that the stores are changing Before and after Corona, the stores have changed quite a bit, after all. Walking around the various towns.

There are a lot of ramen shops over here, and it’s a fierce ramen battleground. I’d love to hear “this place is good” in Ikebukuro. If you have any suggestions for me, please let me know. Please let me know. at the comments section. We are waiting for you.

We can see the cinema, and is it a bookstore up there? On the left are Sandrag and Daiso? This was a game center, right? It was a Daiso in there. This place is now a bulgogi restaurant. And then there’s IMAX (Imax) here. Grand Cinema, right? It was built, wasn’t it?

There were a lot of restaurants over here. I haven’t been able to explore all of them. Please let me know in the comments section or something. From here in Sunshine City, you are now in Nitori. Is there any sign of Tokyu Hands? During the cat cafe boom, it’s on top of Tokyu Hands.

I’m glad the cat cafes weren’t so crowded. I wonder if it is still there. I wonder. The Sunshine City place here. If you go straight down the escalator There’s a Qua Aina, and then you go into Alta, and it’s like Like the Sunshine aquarium. The observatory was recently renovated.

It is the escalator that leads to the Sunshine, right? The escalator would go into a commercial building. I’m not going to get into that today, but certainly that I mean, the moving sidewalk down the escalator might be a little bit emo It’s up this way. This is the Metropolitan Expressway No.5 Ikebukuro line.

We are now in Sunshine City. Speaking of Ikebukuro, Sunshine is the place to be. Ikebukuro is a symbolic place, isn’t it? Nitori was in Sunshine City, but Nitori in Tobu is gone, I believe, and it’s now in Sunshine. Speaking of Sunshine, it is Nanja Town, right?

There were dumplings in Nanja Town, right? Like dumplings, Like a haunted house where you walk around with a crab-like thing in your hand. That was pretty traumatic. The one with the legs growing out of the Noh mask of a crab. There was something like that in Nanja Town, wasn’t there?

And then there was the Nanderbird riddle solving. I liked that one too. There’s a lot of stuff scattered throughout Nanjatown. It’s like a collector’s item. I would like to go to Nanja Town after a long time. It is such a memorable place.

It’s been a while since the last time I was here, like Alta. I went into Sunshine, but I thought it wasn’t so crowded before the new virus Last time I was there, it was extremely crowded. The fountain was amazing. There were crowds of people.

It was like, “Wow, wow, I didn’t know Sunshine had that many people.” It’s like it’s getting crowded again. It’s nice. Sunshine was originally called “Sugamo Prison”. It is a building that was built at the Tokyo Metropolitan Detention Center So it is a commercial and office integrated building.

It could have benches on the left hand side. I think it’s changing. I quite like the rooftop of Sunshine. When I was there in the summer, there was a mysterious spot on the rooftop of Sunshine. I’ll post a picture of it.

There was a spot that was kind of Instagram-worthy, but there was no one there. It was a lot of fun, though. Personal. It’s cute here. With a small house. It’s not a Sylvanian Family, but… Do you want to climb on top of Sunshine and settle down?

Here we are at the rooftop plaza of Sunshine City. This is a great spot to get away from the hustle and bustle in Ikebukuro I also introduce this place on the website “Search for a place to take a rest where you can sit down”.

There are quite a lot of benches, so you can stretch out and relax. There are people eating lunch. When they are having an event in Sunshine City. You see the girls doing the goods exchange. It’s quite a thing here. People do come here. During events. Animate is visible in front.

Along the Seibu line, there is an aspect of “anime mecca. In the first place, along the Seibu line, there is such a There are a lot of animation productions, or companies. About 1/4 or 1/3 of the companies in Tokyo are along the Seibu line, so For example, Tezuka Productions in Takadanobaba,

Or Gundam Productions in Kami-igusa. Oizumigakuen is an anime town Seibu-Chichibu has also been the setting for many anime. Nagasaki and Shiinamachi are also places like Tokiwasou. There are manga artists and animation creator companies. I knew that if I did that, Ikebukuro would be I mean, that’s the kind of thing that gathers

I mean, there’s animate, there’s Otome Road, but There’s a cultural, cultural aspect to it. You can still see a different terminal station than Shinjuku and Shibuya. This one is called “Ike Sampark” in Higashi Ikebukuro. It opened this year or last year, I don’t know.

We also went to Ike Sun Park, so that’s why this picture On Saturdays and Sundays, families with strollers came and The music is of the Zuncha type It’s like a bunch of hot 30s and 40s It was such a park. Actually, this rooftop of Sunshine City is a bit like a maze.

You can go around here. The opening hours will be from 9:00 to 17:00, and this is the place. I don’t usually go there. Actually, it’s like this, something like this. There are some places that don’t seem like they’re in the heart of the city. You can stroll around.

It’s kind of a real maze. I don’t know which way to go. It’s not an easy place to come to, even in Ikebukuro. I don’t think I would go there, so I came here. Yes. Since the Metropolitan Expressway runs nearby I wandered into the forest.

I wonder if it would be better to call it the Sunshine Forest. I’m in Ikebukuro today, so I figured I’d be doing a lot of walking. I’ve been wearing ON shoes. I don’t have a deal or anything. I wore shoes today that say my feet don’t get tired easily.

I’m going to go around Ikebukuro with this. In front of you is Teikyo Heisei University. Then there is Tokyo International University, Kasumigaseki Kasumigaseki is not the ministry there, They are going to have a campus in Kasumigaseki on the Tobu line. You can see the junction just from here. It’s fun.

You can dawdle while looking at the junction. A place like that. It was in Sunshine. This was the place where the installations were. I also put this bench on my instagram the other day, it’s like a spaceship. It’s got a futuristic look to it. So, Sunshine City. It’s fun.

If you look at the Higashi Ikebukuro side, there’s a park. So this is called Higashi Ikebukuro Park. This park is adjacent to Sunshine City and Sugamo Prison. I heard that there used to be an execution site here, but now it is beautifully landscaped and

This place is used by men and women of all ages as a place of rest and relaxation. I didn’t look at the map today. Ike Sampark is about 530m from here. We are now at this Higashi Ikebukuro Central Park. It’s located quite a ways from here

This is where the campus of Tokyo International University is located. Ike Sampark is too far away. And you can walk there from Higashi Ikebukuro 4-chome. And you can also get off by bus or something. By the way, there are a lot of owls painted on it, but

There is a place called Kishimojin (Kishimo Goddess) a little further to the east exit A piece of awn there That work of art came from that, and the great horned owl is in the owl family, so So the owl was created as the character of Ikebukuro.

The background for this is that Shibuya had a meeting spot object with Hachiko, the loyal dog. Ikebukuro doesn’t have anything like that, so it’s a meeting spot and an objet d’art. So, we were like, “Let’s make a character,” and the owl was adopted.

There are other theories that owls lived in Ikebukuro in the first place. There are many theories, and there is a picture of an owl on the wall. Today, go from here to Haleza Tower and TOHO Cinemas, I guess this is the area. Around the area going to Minami Ikebukuro Park.

I would like to go to this area because there is a chassis spot. Nitori. I sometimes wonder if it was more convenient when it was in Tobu. It’s a deca-nitori, so I can see a lot of things. It’s a little bit far from the station, so when I had a blast at Nitori

I sometimes think it’s hard to walk here with a big bag of Nitori Shinjuku is also kind of far away, isn’t it? Nitori in Shinjuku is also not much further away, whether you walk from Yoyogi or Shinjuku. I think it’s a little far…

Since I’ve come all this way, I’ll go around a little bit here, too. It was also incredibly crowded when we were going to have dinner at Sunshine City Like, what should I do, but the Qua Aina in the basement is heavy. That’s when I kind of wandered into these places.

Like, “Oh, there’s ramen, there’s curry, there’s curry. That’s how I remember eating it. There was a little chic street, wasn’t there? This is Mikuni Koji. This is where I would like to enter today. There seems to be a variety of taverns and set restaurants on Mikuni Koji.

I’d like to try the mackerel grilled menchikatsu set meal. I guess I’ll hang out for a bit. These alleys are nice. Ikebukuro doesn’t seem to have many of these old-fashioned places left. I have the impression that there are not many of these old-fashioned places left in Ikebukuro.

In that sense, I thought it would be interesting to go around here Well, let’s walk a little bit slower, shall we? I wonder if the stores are open that much because it is daytime. I have a feeling that maybe at night, it will be more crowded. Is this the Misawa of Hell? Interesting.

Maybe a snack bar, or an oden shop. It’s about time I had some good oden. Yes. Like this. This was the original. Like a pork cutlet. If you have any comments, like “this restaurant is delicious,” please send them to the comment section. Home-roasted café.

Well, hey, I’ll be back later for Minami Ikebukuro Park, so… That’s great. Karashibi Miso Ramen” – great line up. Pancho is also available. Omelette rice. There’s a great line at this ramen shop over here, too. I hope I’m right about “Noodle House Hanada.” Is this place miso ramen too? Ikebukuro main store.

This area is fun with a variety of restaurants to choose from. This area is also very austere. I’ve never been in it. I wonder how far I can go. There is a small restaurant or something. This place is also quite austere. Interesting. Robert Brown” cool. It looks good. Tomato chicken stew, sounds good.

TOMATO TOMATO. Oyster House. If you want to eat oysters, this is the place to be. It’s quite a dense place and interesting. Let’s go from the side of Uniqlo to the Grand Cinema and Haleza. Was it something like this? I knew it was something like this I think the building has changed, though.

This place specializes in Vietnamese sandwiches. Nice. If you go this way, it’s towards Nakaikebukuro Park. From Sunshine Street Is it a movie theater, Grand Cinema? ‘grand scape’. You know that glass walled place? The cafe there is quite nice. I think I went there once.

There is an “AWESOME STORE” downstairs, and this is that It’s a grocery store, but it’s interesting. It’s like this. This building is also much newer or a big movie theater. This is “GrandScape.” Birkin is on the first floor. Burger King, I hear, is in hot pursuit these days. McDonald’s.

They’ve got a great storefront, and I thought Barkin’ tasty. I always make it all heavy, though. The queue restaurant is out. Unadachi. Is it an eel shop? There is a great line. If anyone says he/she has eaten there, please let me know. I’m curious.

It has changed a bit since Haleza was built, hasn’t it? It includes the Toshima Ward Residents’ Center, and it also includes a public element. A little bit of an artistic element Oh, I don’t remember Naka-Ikebukuro Park being like this. It wasn’t this open, was it? No, it has changed.

Yes, it was under construction. Nakaikebukuro Park. It changed a lot. And it’s 7:30-22:00. From Nakaikebukuro Park, like the Toshima Civic Center, Tokyo Brillia Hall, and so on,　 TOHO Cinemas, and other recent buildings. It’s changed a lot. You have animate close by, and the exchange of goods has been going on for some time.

The building in front of the building, wacca. This is a calm building. It’s a little friendly building with Yuzawaya and other things in it. I wonder if there is a wedding hall in here. In a calm commercial building. The benches are new. This is nice.

There’s also a cafe next to the Toshima Kumin Center. It’s a relaxing place and the building is very beautiful. There’s the Brillia Hall, the Toshima Ward Arts and Culture Theater. There’s an owl object at the top of this Brillia Hall. Let’s take a look. Is this the place next to TOHO Cinemas

There’s also a café that opened here It’s a nice place to relax. They have omelettes, hamburgers, and many other things. In the front you can see “Fruit Garden Rebel”. There is one in front of Tachikawa station, but it is delicious. It’s good when you want to eat a lot of fruit.

We are at the Ikebukuro Rokutamata overpass. This place is very impressive. You have Route 254 running through it. Can you see it? Kawagoe Kaido. It says Kasuga-dori, though. It leads to Kawagoe. This is. You come from Hongo. Yushima Seido from Ochanomizu. From Ochanomizu to Yushima Seido over Seibashi bridge

Starting from Route 254 about before Kanda Myojin I will go to Matsumoto. What’s great about Route 254 is that it goes to Chichibu, Yorii and other places Around Yorii, there’s a sign that says something like “Ikebukuro how many kilometers” What do you mean “Ikebukuro” here⁉?

Maybe those of you who drive understand this feeling That Ikebukuro is exactly here Ikebukuro is tens of kilometers away, and you can get there in one line from this Yorii. It is a very emotional place. Rokutamata overpass There are a lot of multiple road splits. Ikebukuro is.

Like the five-way intersection at the east exit you just mentioned. And there’s also a five-way intersection at the west exit Ikebukuro is divided into several roads, in that sense. I mean it is a major place. Route 254, by all means, Chichibu Kawagoe, and then Tomioka paper mill, when you visit those places.

I was like, “Oh, that’s the Ikebukuro what-kilometer that Penta-san was talking about, right here!” something like that If you can tie it to that, I would be very happy. Now from the back side of Wakka While going back toward the east exit of Ikebukuro station I would like to go there.

You can see Yamada Denki and LABI in the front. There’s LABI, and as you go past Janpara, you’re already at the station. There was a futsal court above the LABI, with benches, as I recall. Also, the LABI cafe was surprisingly empty,

I went there when I became a refugee from cafes in Ikebukuro. There’s a Cafe de Crier in the Sumitomo Ikebukuro Ekimae Building there. This Cafe de Crier has a grand style It’s very spacious. Maybe where you sit…surprisingly, there are no seats available. It’s very spacious. We have such a café de Criée.

There are chain restaurants around here, like Fuji Soba, Ootoya, and so on. Gogo Curry, and so on…you’re out behind TAKASE. Oyster bar. Pho and stuff. Slightly Asian. Also, there’s a Mianya Musashi. It’s a little bit like this, and then we’re back on Sunshine Central Avenue. Next is, you know, Minami Ikebukuro Park

I would like to go that way. I’m coming from Green Boulevard to South Ikebukuro Park Street, but We have a place called Anime Tokyo Station, and this place has changed, right? I remember it used to be Maruzen. They have an anime compendium, anime reference room, anime production process, and many other things.

There is a train exhibit here. Is it a Keihin Electric Express type 800? It is a Seibu car. These yellow cars will probably go away soon, like I’d like to go into the animation station, but I can’t take pictures inside

If anyone says they’ve been there, I’d be glad to get an overview or something. Past SEIBU at the east exit, past MUJI. We are in front of Junkudo. When we come to this area, we usually go through the basement of the Seibu Department Store

You go straight all the way down, and then you take the escalator up to the MUJI place. That’s how you can get to this area. You can see the Junkudo bookstore right in front of you. This is a bookstore with a very large sales floor area in Japan.

This is a symbolic spot in Ikebukuro. Recently developed, this Seibu Group’s DIAGATE building, where various companies are located Actually, there’s a deck here, and it’s really nice. You can see it in our search for places to sit and rest. This is quite a rest space. Recommended.

There’s a cafe on the first floor of the Diamond Gate building. Sarutahiko, I think it’s called. It’s nice and empty. And if you go straight here, it’s at Bikkuri Guard. Originally, trains and other vehicles were running along the road, rumbling along. The sound was so loud that it was called a “surprise guard”.

The reason for this visit is, if you go to the right side of Junkudo bookstore There is Kishimojin, isn’t there? In the direction of Kishimojin in Zoshigaya. If you go straight here, you will see about two approaches to Kishimojin. By the way, um, the metro station is Kishibojin.

The name of the hall is “Kishibojin”, right? East Street”–this is where you wanted to come. This East Street is, you know, interesting. It’s something interesting is that it is close to Minami Ikebukuro Park, and There are cafes and bakeries and things like that I would like to go around here.

0:46:33.013,0:46:34.979,0:46:35.979,0:46:36.979,0:46:38.594,0:46:31.979 “sticky texture with tapioca” This cafe is pretty famous too. This cafe is also a place where you can get honey toast and croque madame It might be pretty empty today. Um There’s a huge line. It’s all lined up.

Please let me know if you’ve been here a little bit, too, if you have. There is a SUBWAY here and next to it There’s a row of restaurants. It’s amazing during dinner time. I’ve been to this place too, I’ll post pictures if I have any left.

Tomboy” you can see on the right. It is Indian curry. They have Thai food and stuff, but I like this place too. This udon restaurant also seems to be very popular. I have never been in there. Musashino Udon. Musashino udon with a firm texture.

Didn’t I post a picture of Musashino Udon in the Seiseki Sakuragaoka episode? Zoshigaya Shichifukujin was there. In Zoshigaya, we had the Seven Lucky Gods tour. It would be interesting to visit various places. The bakery here is also incredibly popular.

I buy from the bakery here and eat at Minami Ikebukuro Park, which is the most fun thing I’ve ever done. Very popular. There was a delicious bakery. There was an Italian restaurant with a terrace in the back here. It’s a nice, secluded place.

There are a lot of good stores clustered on East Street. The Owl, Vietnamese cuisine. I’m also a little curious about this place and Pizza place around here. I’m on the back side of Minami Ikebukuro Park, near the Toshima Ward Office. I’d like to go on an architectural tour from here for a bit.

I wonder if the Tosho Building is correct. It looks like an odd looking, stained glass building. Just a little bit on this entrance. There’s an odd object, isn’t there? Like this. I wonder if the entrance to the building also has a sun motif. It is strange, isn’t it? Then here it is.

What an artistic architecture we are seeing! This is amazing. All the way to the top. The top is a residential area. Really something It’s like the castle of the demon king. Lubois Heiki. It’s quite a place like the castle of the Demon King. I love the pattern of the floor tiles.

This one is called “Japanese Gaudi. This is the work of an architect named Bon Jukou. When you go inside, there are a lot of unusual objects. It’s kind of very It’s nice and artistic, but I can’t shoot it It’s only from the exterior, but

This is an unusual architecture here. This is the architect called the Japanese Gaudi This is the work of Bon Jukou. This is a work by Bon Jyukou. There is another one at Waseda. There is also a rather eccentric apartment building there

I hope to be able to introduce it to you during the Waseda times. This is one of the architectural tours that you should stop by when you come to Ikebukuro. A relaxing spot at Ikebukuro’s East Exit, Minami Ikebukuro Park. This place has been renovated and the park has changed a lot.

I wonder if the lawn is curing now. It’s covered, though. When it’s open to the public, you can stretch out and put sheets down and so on. This is a park where you can relax and enjoy the view of the Ikebukuro sky. There are ping-pong tables and so on.

Like a café or something where you can take out and enjoy it in the park. We also have restaurants and other refreshments I recommend it when you want to come to Ikebukuro and relax. There is an owl up there too, watching over the park.

I think the image of Ikebukuro has changed since Minami Ikebukuro Park was built. It’s like this place was built and Haleza was built. Ikebukuro has an outdoor table tennis field. Please bring your rackets and balls and join us in the Ikebukuro East Exit area.

This was an introduction to the idea of playing table tennis. Or a porchetta sandwich. Ginger, hot dogs, and so on. Stylish. It’s in front of the park, here, it’s a café… Cafe Cinnamon. The restaurant is so famous that there is information about cancellations and vacancies I’ve never been in there, but

If anyone has been there, please let me know. I have been to the west exit of Ikebukuro station, now I would like to take a walk at the west exit. Thank you very much for your cooperation. So we have come to the west exit.

The west exit is TOBU. The east is SEIBU, and the west is TOBU. TOBU department store is right in front of you. This TOBU is quite large. TOBU is connected to Lumine, the former Metropolitan Building TOBU also has areas like North Central South, plus Lumine is attached to it, so

Shopping is quite convenient. TOBU has a restaurant area called Spice, I think. There’s a restaurant area. I heard it is about the largest in Japan. There are so many stores. If you include Tobu Department Store, Tobu Hope Center, Lumine, and about 100 other stores…

Is it really true that it is one of the largest in the world? I’m not sure. I’m thinking… So that’s how many restaurants are in the department store. Well, let’s go there then. This is now the “north side of the west exit. This is Chinatown, or something like that.

It’s now an Asian town. And the new president of Seibu Sogo is now Chinese. I’m wondering what’s going to happen around here. When you get to the other side of this, it’s really already Chinese.

There are a lot of Chinese products and things like that, a lot of Chinese products and things like that, just ahead of the first street on the west side. I’ll leave that one for another time, just for today. I’m going to go over to the “IWGP” park or something like that.

Mosaic culture “Ikebukuro”. I guess I’ll go this way. This is the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space side, and Marui is gone. I’m wondering if the momentum has waned a little bit It looks like the Marui place can be redeveloped again. I wonder which viewers shop at SEIBU or TOBU

The men’s area of TOBU is connected to LUMINE, and the men’s area of TOBU is connected to LUMINE. I think it’s easy to see. The main street in the back is called “Theater Street”. The Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space can be seen in front.

The west exit park of Ikebukuro station has changed a lot. This is Ikebukuro West Gate Park, isn’t it? West Gate Park. Gone is the downer atmosphere of before. It’s now called “GLOBAL RING,” which is a little more fashionable. Here, too, like Minami Ikebukuro Park.

There are cafes and other places where you can get a light meal I knew the image had changed. Global Ring Cafe. It’s like it’s totally different from the early Heisei era. It’s amazing. Penta is also surprised and is pulling back… Like, “Oh! Hi. Let’s walk toward the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space.

Next to the Tokyo Metropolitan Hotel is the Tokyo Metropolitan Hotel. I can’t capture the inside. Was the pipe organ the largest in the country? Ikebukuro is also a town of art There is a cafe above the Art Theater that is very calm and nice.

I recommend this café when you are in Ikebukuro and say “I’m tired of the crowds. If you walk this side of the street, it’s toward Rikkyo University. Rikkyo University, but I can walk there from Ikebukuro. I’ll show you on the map in a moment, it’s Nishi-Ikebukuro Park, right? Kaname-cho.

You are here now. Westgate Park is the Westgate Park that you just saw. Theater Street runs alongside. Nishi Ikebukuro Park is just beyond here, and here Tarzan is. There is Tarzan around here. There’s Rikkyo University, just about. Kanamecho is right here on the Fukutoshin Line,

Kanamecho, Rikkyo University, and Nishi Ikebukuro Park are all around here, and there are stylish cafes and I think it’s interesting to see the development of new and unusual restaurants and stores in this area. And the bakery here in Nishi-Ikebukuro Park is great.

There’s a cluster of restaurants around here, and also an alley here. There’s also an alley here that looks like a stylish Japanese cafe. I’d like to introduce that again when we walk around Kaname-cho. This is the five-way intersection at the west exit, and there used to be a Marui here

It’s gone. Marui’s is now completely on the site. Also, there were a lot of pigeons up here. It’s an environment where there are needles planted, but the pigeons don’t escape very easily. This is Esola. There is a book cafe called “Owl Bookstore,” which is very interesting.

There are books without spines, and you can buy your own books. like my book of the day, which I picked out for inspiration. That kind of thing. And also that There is the Metropolitan Plaza, which is totally or There is a JR “Metropolitan Exit” that not many people use.

It is connected to Lumine. There is a building called “Jiyu Gakuen’s Tomorrow Hall”. There is a famous building designed by Mr. Wright I recommend the Ashinokan for an architectural tour. I can’t get there today, There are places like that. There’s a cafe in Gerapiquet. Crepes.

A “pique latte.” The kind that fashionable girls come to. Gerapiquet Cafe is next to Lumine. It looks stylish. We are coming to the back side of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space, but It looks kind of stylish There is a bakery. You are not doing it today. We have a bakery.

I think it was the hard type. The hotel “hisoca” here is also quite stylish. They have gelato, too. There is a fashionable hotel. This is an owl. Lots of owls perched. Like this. Once, right here, near Metropolitan. I heard there was a pond that looked like a sack.

There was a river called the Tsurugawa River It is now culverted and connected to the Kanda River at Edogawa Bridge The river merges with the Kanda River at the Edogawa Bridge. There’s a pond like a sack as a source of water for the String River.

And that’s how they came up with the name Ikebukuro. 1:08:00.300,1:08:02.368,1:08:02.368 Ikebukuro is a place associated with the Ikebukuro place name, isn’t it? Origin of Ikebukuro place name. Once upon a time there were many ponds in this area The name Ikebukuro is said to have originated from these ponds.

The pond was filled with clear water and overflowed to become a river. This stream has been called the Tsurumaki River since some time ago. This stream was used as water for Zoshigaya Village. Water gushing out, like this. There’s an objet d’art, a little bit like this The gushing has stopped now, hasn’t it?

Here’s another owl in Ikebukuro. North, West, East It does have a direction on it, though. Cute. That thing like this Hotel Metropolitan and other developments around here. The idea was to preserve these remains. The origin of Ikebukuro was left behind. Another theory of the origin of Ikebukuro is that

It says that owls are thought to have reproduced in this area in the past. The owl you just mentioned is a Blakiston’s fish owl or something like that. Like the great horned owl, Great Horned Owl, and many other species. Actually, it looks like they were separated.

I would like to go to the “Bikkuri Guard” place that connects the west and east exits of Ikebukuro. This is the place, you see, where the trains are gunning for the top. It must have sounded amazing when the train used to go by. It is sometimes called “Surprised Guard” with such connotations.

And then there’s, you know, the origin of the word “surprised,” like, “Oh, my God, there’s a pool of water here. That seems to be the meaning. Surprise guard. I would like to go to the Diamond Gate building. I would love to love the building, Let’s go to this new building, shall we?

The Diamond Gate building, you can take the elevator up from here, so Here we are. This is a very nice spot. You can see the whole Ikebukuro station area from here. You can see the track of the JR line from here. You can see the Saikyo line.

You can see the track of the JR line like this This is a great spot for railroad enthusiasts. Here comes the Yamanote Line. Now from this direction, the Shonan Shinjuku Line has arrived. We can see double. This is fun. I enjoy looking at the JR line.

There is a bench here so you can sit and watch the trains. Going straight ahead, you can now view the Seibu Line. Actually, below this building is the track of the Seibu Line. As I was taking the elevator up earlier The floor in the middle of the building was the west track.

There was a grassy area. This is also a good spot to hang out in Ikebukuro. Otsu, here we are. This is a nice dynamic view of the train. Oh, great great great great. That’s a Seibu Ikebukuro Line train bound for Hanno. Here it comes again from the other side.

This one seems to be turning back as a local train to Toshimaen. Lately Toshimaen is famous for Harry Potter, but… This is a railroad spot where you can enjoy Seibu Line trains like this. Today we went around Ikebukuro station area. How was it?

We went around the east and west exits of Ikebukuro. This time I mainly went around the east exit. I was able to see the Haleza, Tokyo Brillia, and various other buildings being built. Ikebukuro station has changed a lot, hasn’t it? With the development of Minami Ikebukuro Park and Ike Sun Park

I had the impression that the image of “ekibukuro” was changing as well. And then we went around and I don’t think we were able to introduce too many stores, so… I’d like to know if there are any good restaurants in the comments section.

Or one of the largest bench search sites in the country, “Search for a place to sit and rest” We operate “Find my town”, which shows you how easy it is to live in a town by video Please come and visit us from the overview section.

Thank you for watching for such a long time today. See you again in the next town. So long and goodbye.
