Ikebukuro station is the second busiest train station in Tokyo next to Shinjuku station.] A total of 589,000 people uses Ikebukuro station a day/ Commercially Ikebukuro is a comparatively quieter city compared to Shinjuku or Shibuya, but it can be categorized under commercial city similar to Shinjuku and Shibuya. Compared to Shibuya, where, teen fashion shops have dominance, Ikebukuro is more towards, large retail shops such as Bic Camera and major department stores such as Seibu, Tobu and Mitsukoshi Department store. Young teen shops are also available notably in the Sunshine City shopping arcade.
To reach Ikebukuro , take the Yamanote Line, Yuurakuchou line, Marunouchi line Saikyo-sen, the Shonan Shinjuku line to Ikebukuro station. Also Seibu Ikebukuro line and Tobu Tojo Line also can be used to get to Ikebukuro.
Sunshine City Ikebukuro is the symbol of Ikebukuro, where you can find various shopping and entertainment facilities. In the sunshine city, there are facilities such as The Sunshine 60 observatory, aquarium, planetarium, and Namco Nanja Town. To get to the Sunshine City, easiest way to get there is to find Tokyu Hands, and follow the under path to the Sunshine City.
Sunshine 60 Observatory is one of the few observatory where you can actually go outside to for a view. The observatory is 240m above the ground and it is possible to view 360 degrees around Tokyo.
Sunshine Aquarium is a easy access in-city aquarium, where you can visit when you want to cool off your day with a soothing underwater view. I personally recommend the Sunshine aquarium due to the simple reason of easy access, where other great aquariums such as Hakkeijima Sea paradise is hassle just to get there. At the sunshine international aquarium hosts various shows such as seal show which is on eight times a day.
In the aquarium, more than 20,000 fish and water animals are showcased, where you can meet eels, sea horses, dolphins, octopuses, sea otters, seals, etc.
Starlight dome planetarium is more than a planetarium. See the galaxy in the sky at or falling stars at the most sophisticated planetarium in town. You will find few different programs such as healing program, which will help you to chill out after the long stressful day with twinkling stars synchronized with various aromatic effects. There are also programs which is collaborated with musicians to give the unique performance of combination of cosmic spectacle and music.
