Ikebukuro is a town where you can eat while walking and enjoy lots of shopping! Here are 3 photo spots you cannot miss in Ikebukuro. All of them are in areas that adults and children can enjoy together, so we recommend taking a picture there with your family.

"Ikefukuro", the owl statue near the north exit of JR Ikebukuro Station is known as a popular meeting spot with the locals. It is popular due to its easy-to-remember name, which is a pun on "Ikebukuro" with "fukuro (owl)". Since it is within the covered station area, you can meet people regardless of the weather. It is always crowded with a lot of people.

Cat cafes are very popular as healing places because you can play with cats living there freely. Among these cafes, "Nekobukuro" stands out with its elaborate interior decoration. It is designed to represent a cats' society, and there are interesting objects such as "Nekobukuro Station" there. You will be welcomed by 12-15 cats. It recommended that you take photos during snack time which takes place twice a day, while interacting with the cats.

J-WORLD TOKYO is an indoor theme park where you can immerse yourself in the world of "Jump". Not only can you play at the attractions of works such as ONE PIECE, Dragon Ball, and NARUTO, but also eat food with the motif of the characters in the food corner. There are many photo spots in the park, so you can take a commemorative shot while acting like a character of one of these works.
