Experience Details
Ikebukuro is a massive commuter hub and economic center in Tokyo, home to a number of giant department stores, a lively otaku subculture, and a number of attractions inside the Sunshine City mall complex. You can go shopping for clothes or cosplay costumes, have a few rounds at a game center and then head to one of the many restaurants and bars with plenty of Ikebukuro food! Discover the best food in Ikebukuro during this urban Ikebukuro Food Tour, where you’ll not only explore the streets but eat delicious Japanese food as you go.
During an Ikebukuro Food Tour, between 5 food stops, you’ll wander the streets and discover what makes the lively Ikebukuro area tick. Alive with so many shopping brands, souvenir stores, game centers, restaurants, markets, nightlife, and love hotels, the possibilities are endless in Ikebukuro. You’ll visit a delicious food-themed park, as well as a cat cafe (great for animal lovers, as the cats are allowed to roam freely inside!)

Next, you’ll try some delicious yakitori grilled chicken skewers before heading off to explore some local markets and shops.
