👍👍 Many stores are open again, so lots of shopping. Don't like Ikebukuro very much, but Sunshine City is always a great place to explore. Interesting stores and loads of character items!

Owlpark ikebukuro
Animal cafe
👍👍 You shall feel magical if this is your first encounter with owls. Do not miss it. This one is a bit more spacious than the other cafe in the same district. The owls look better and stronger, too. The staff are friendly. They bring you the owls and put them on your shoulders and arms. The small ones...

KONICA MINOLTA Planetarium "Manten" in Sunshine City
Planetarium
😠 Not recommended at all, even if you speak Japanese. Rather than a planetarium, with stars and explanations about the universe, it's like a bad cinema where they play really boring short movies and don't necessarily use the whole screen. What's the point? Very expensive too. When I was there, most pe...

Philatelic Museum
Museum
😐 Shocking museum
I happened to stop by for a walk. It is a small museum.
The amazing thing about this museum is the stamp shop, which you can enter for free. Isn't it larger than a paid museum? We handle stamps not only in Japan but also in the world.
Stamp collecting is a hobby of the Showa era,...

Ikebukuro Life Safety Learning Center
Learning center
👍👍 A really good experience. The film is with English subtitles, the personnel speaks enough English to give you the important part of the instructions. For some of the guidelines they also have English handouts. Knowing some Japanese is helpful but not necessary.
The film is an animation taking you ba...
