Located around the northwestern corner of the Yamanote line, Ikebukuro is one of Tokyo’s many city centers with over million passengers commuting daily via its main station. Stuck between two of Japan’s biggest store franchises Tobu and Seibu, Ikebukuro has many things to offer ranging from nice stores and restaurants to other activities.
While not as popular as Akihabara for example, Ikebukuro is, however, an important hub for the female otaku culture with many “butler cafes” as well as many stores dedicated to the anime, manga and cosplay scenes.

Situé dans la zone nord ouest de la ligne Yamanote, Ikebukuro est l’un de ces nombreux “centres villes” que compte Tokyo où plus d’un million de voyageurs passent chaque jour via sa gare principale. Coincé entre les deux grandes franchises japonaises que sont Tobu et Seibu, Ikebukuro a beaucoup de choses à offrir dont un vaste choix de boutiques et de restaurants, ainsi que d’autres activités.
Sans la réputation d’être aussi branché qu’Akihabara par exemple, Ikebukuro demeure cependant l’endroit incontournable pour suivre la tendance féminine otaku avec ses nombreux “butler cafes” ainsi que ses magasins dédiés aux animes, aux mangas, et au cosplay.

Excellent video! Watching it in its highest definition makes one feel like they are looking out of a window! 🙂
Wow that's really awesome, its like I'm walking there
Thank you for this. I've spent so much time in Ikebukuro and I miss it dearly.
where are you from?
very nice
wow what camera is this?
This is awesome, gives the perfect feeling of being there~
I really wish you have the time and resources to shoot similar ones from, let's say, magic hour Kyoto Gion streets or Higashiyama… Or daytime walking in Miyajima. Just giving you ideas. I love all of your videos anyway!
DURARARA!!
C'est magnifique ! J'adore ce quartier !
blade runner anyone
Love your videos ! How did you take the shot at 5:00 in the middle of the street?
Interesting to see everyone waiting at the crosswalks even when no cars come for quite a while. In Seattle, I just run through traffic haha
nice video! when was this filmed btw??
Great vid as ever, wish you would take a walk around though 🙂
偉大なvid、これまでどおりに歩いてみましょう 😉
That is so cool ! Thanks ! I was there in December and travelled everyday from Ikebukuro to Hibarigaoka . Could you please do a walk through at Hibarigaoka from the station towards the 7 eleven or towards life ? Awesome vide man ! Love your channel.

I'm having a very bad day today I am very sad but your video is making me happier.
it reminds me of my first 3 years in Japan, the company I was working for, Samurai Factory used to have their office near the north exit. 懐かしい˜
My home place in tokyo. I stay in Kimi Ryokan. I miss it….
Everything looks so clean: Was it in the morning? And how long does it last? Is it anywhere so clean and tidy?
как будто путешествуешь по Японии, круто вот каплю на телевизор в 4К даже на компьютере выглядит прекрасно!!!
I wonder what device do you use?
Amazing, There's no waste blowing around.
What's the fine for littering?
Eyegasm XD
It's not usual to see videos about Japan without any background music.
I think it's a good choice, it's very immersive especially with 4K. Thank you for the virtual trip 🙂
Hi Tokyo Street View! Im Sam from the Philippines. Can I use some of your clips here at Ikebukoro on our episode about Japan? I will use only 5 to 10 seconds of this uploaded video?

Who is the strongest man in Ikebukuro?
I worked in the building on the left of the opening shot for four years in the early 2000s and knew Ikebukuro like the back of my hand. I could almost smell it watching this video – very nostalgic.
Damn i really miss japan. I stayed here in ikebukuro for 6 days and that 6 days ive stay all i can say it’s really a short time to stay. I wish i can get a job there so i can live in this country. All love from the philippines ✌🏻
