Ikebukuro Station has a curious location with Tobu on the west and Seibu on the east. The underground food halls of both department stores are definitely worth a visit.

You’ll find a wide variety of delicatessen dishes, breads, confectionaries, and boxed lunches.
Seibu holds a “Fukubukuro Daichi,” a large selection of the largest selection of fukubukuro in Tokyo for the first sale of the year.
