I experienced my first earthquake not too long ago. It was surreal. If I hadn't been sitting perfectly still, I would have missed it. Though it doesn't make much sense, it was like the ground rippled....
Always a fun place to go into, always. They offered some really different items in this Loft that I must have looked over in some of the other ones. It's smaller, but still with all the fun merchand...
I have been to my share of 100 yen stores but I think that this one has the best quality products... this isn't to say that it is high quality, but it's better than the norm. It's full of the usual ar...
This is the place to go if you want to go shopping. It's popular among foreigners because it boasts clothes that actually fit people who aren't Japanese. There are a ton of clothing shops as well as r...
Boutique/Luxury Brands, Fun Shops, Select Shops ( Ikebukuro )
For some reason whenever I see the words 'Disney' I have to go inside. Childhood memories galore, with the exception of extra little bits that were never sold in the United States stores. I'm a big ...
This is one of the must have shops to visit for me.
Nice stuff at very reasonable prices.
Definately better quality and looks better than the 100yen shop.
I love the loft, but this one is significantly smaller than all the other ones. Because of this, their selection is much smaller too. I'd rather wander my way over to the one in Shibuya, to be hones...
For the American staying in Tokyo, this is a nice store to visit. It has a lot of the comforts of home you might be missing that are hard to find in the infinite amount of shopping areas here. I spe...
Are you a tea aficionado? Not just matcha but all types of exotic and tepid offerings are offered here at Lupicia. The shop offers a HUGE variety and spreads it out for maximum browsability. Also take...
This shop is really a kiosk in the middle of the corridor in Sunshine City open for a limited time. It features Atom and Atomutan merchandise, including t-shirts, figures, and stuffed animals. While I...
Wonder Sonic is a spin-off of the Disney Store (which is actually located just around the corner) which features more of your favorite Disney characters. The difference between these two shops seems t...
I read about this place in my Lonely Planet guide, and I thought I'd check it out. I went on a Friday afternoon, and it was much more crowded than I had expected. The place is really small and seems ...
Fun Shops, Shopping-Others, Interior Design & Furniture ( Ikebukuro )

Chummy is a shop selling knickknacks for moms and those prizing the cute. Items include cute bibs for messy yet adorable children, plastic plates, cups, and utensils for the rambunctious baby, stylish...
In the heart of Ikebukuro Station easily accessible by all Tokyo Metro and JR trains is a small mall called Tobu Hope Center. While it contains a few small restaurants (Vie de France being one of them...
This little shop in Ikebukuro's Sunshine City sells all the latest popular merchandise characters. I always like to stop in this store to look at the Studio Ghibli merchandise and see the huge totoro...
Resta Times Spa is very cushy. Everything is quiet, clean, and modern. I'm giving it only three stars because there is absolutely no English and the staff seemed to dislike having foreigners - not ove...
I went to B-lily Rose expecting to go to a maid cafe but was quite surprised with what I found. B-lily Rose was a small bar with a counter and one long table, but the thing I was surprised about was t...
Cafe Popeye is a typical manga cafe - rows and rows of small cubicles, just big enough for a chair and computer, where the homebodys of Japan spend their time reading from limitless shelves of manga o...
This small art gallery and theater is located within minutes from Ikebukuro station. While it's probably not worth making a special trip to Ikebukuro for it, if you're in the area, and seeing the oth...
