Ikebukuro is another lively district of Tokyo, with Ikebukuro Station as its hub, since three train lines meet there. The Yamanote Line also passes through. As a result, it handles a huge number of passengers each day — on some days as many as 1 million — making it the second busiest station after Shinjuku.
This district has entertainment spots, shops, and restaurants, plus large department stores such as Tobu and Seibu. Another spot not to miss is Sunshine City, a large shopping complex a short walk from the station.
