Ikebukuro, Commercial district in Toshima, Japan

Ikebukuro station forms the heart of this district, handling over one million passengers daily through multiple railway and subway connections in northern Tokyo.

The area transformed from agricultural land into an urban center after the 1903 opening of the Ikebukuro Station on the Yamanote Line railway system.

The district houses multiple performance venues, including the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, which presents concerts, plays, and dance performances throughout the year.

The neighborhood divides into two distinct sections: the eastern area remains active around the clock, while the western section becomes more energetic during evening hours.

Otome Road specializes in entertainment media for female audiences, featuring numerous shops selling manga, anime merchandise, and related products.
