Cross Culture City

Tokyo’s Ikebukuro area is most commonly associated with anime and manga culture-two quintessential factors of the “Cool Japan” brand-but the area is also home to many traditional Japanese culture highlights such as shrines, temples, and rakugo (comedic storytelling) venues.
From traditional Japanese culture to pop culture and common eateries of yesteryear to today’s cutting-edge skyscrapers, Ikebukuro offers opportunities to experience both the old and the new in addition to various cultural movements on the rise.
