  • Welcome to Tokyo Drew Travels. In this video we explore Ikebukuro station's underground passages filled with so many shops, restaurants and local fair.
    Ikebukuro is the world's 2nd busiest station with approximately 3 million commuters daily. The JR lines run north/south through the center. The Tobu platforms are to the northwest and the Seibu platforms are to the southeast. The Marunouchi Line and Yurakucho Line run east/west two stories underground, while the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line is four stories underground to the west of the main station complex. With 4 major department stores (Seibu, Tobu, Lumine and Parco) as well as hundreds of boutique stores available, Ikebukuro station is a shopping paradise.

    That's a great tour! (And there's so much more! lol) These Tokyo train stations are thriving little cities unto themselves. I love living in Ikebukuro.

      Usually big stations like this, Shinjuku and Shibuya or even Tokyo station, anyone can get lost! Can be very overwhelming for sure!

    Thanks for the tour. Plan to do some exploring of my own when we’re there in May since we’ll be staying at the Sunshine City Prince Hotel. We like Yamada Denki too, more than Bic or Yodobashi. May will be our 13th trip to Japan and our 3rd staying in Ikebukuro.

      Thank you for watching! Appreciate it. Sunshine Prince Hotel is nice! Awesome. Do love all the electronic stores in the area, Yamada Denki is my fav. Bought my PC, Laptop, Microwave/Convection over and washer/dryer from that store lol
