Ikebukuro is the biggest shopping area of North Tokyo. Trains from the northern part of Tokyo and Saitama Prefecture arrive here.
There are messy streets and modern facilities. Sunshine City, one of the biggest commercial complexes in Tokyo, represents modern Ikebukuro. It includes 60 floor tall main building, hotel building and other facilities. In addition to stores and restaurants, it has exhibition halls, an in-house amusement park, an aquarium, theaters etc.Mola mola (fish) and small anteaters as well as penguins are popular at the aquarium.
I walked from Ikebukuro to Shinjuku through Zoshigaya, where one of the famous public cemeteries lies. Soseki Natsume, Japan’ｓ most important figure in modern literature, and Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, Famous for Kaidan Stories, sleep here. The cemetery is green rich.
