Animate Ikebukuro Main Store is located about a 10-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station. It's a good idea to use NAKA-IKEBUKURO PARK as a landmark when heading there. The store is always crowded, so it's recommended to visit during weekdays in the daytime. Especially on weekends, it can get extremely crowded, and it may take a while to check out at the registers. Ikebukuro is known for its many anime and manga shops, and the city itself actively promotes itself as an 'anime town.' Near Animate Ikebukuro Main Store, you'll also find Sunshine City, which houses a Pokémon Center. Visiting both locations together can be a great idea.
