If you're around the area with some free time then the aquarium can be a fun stop, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make a purpose trip solely around it. It's not huge by any means but they put in as much as possible. Was a nice way to kill an hour or two. It located on top of a big mall so there's plenty to see there too.

A big mall that is mostly known for the many and huge pokemon stores on the 3rd floor. If you are a pokemon fan this is a must visit. I am not sure much of the other stores are worth a visit. When we visited there was some kind of boy band performing, so that could be a possibility.

Loved visiting Sunshine City! There are so many merchandise shops to explore — from anime and character goods to fashion and cute souvenirs. It’s a great place to shop and spend a few hours indoors. Super convenient location and lots of choices for food too!

Been here 6 years ago. The place did not change. Great spot with children and good option to avoid the heat during summer. Price is totally correct. You can enjoy time in the sunshine city mall before or after, so it’s a top choice

With Sunshine City Prince Hotel here, visiting this mall is so convenient. I’ve been here so many times now, rooms in Prince are still kinda small in comparison to most other Prince out there but you can’t go wrong if you want to live near a Mall like this one.

Come here for Crayon Shin-chan and Pikachu. Cute and fun. Very long Q if to buy Pokémon stuffs. We enjoy our team time at Cafe.

I came here for trying to play the biggest gatcha place in the Japan (as many people stated). To be honest, the location was still quite far from the nearest train station and the place was closing early. If you also want to visit this biggest gatcha place, then you may need my info: They are 2 gatcha places in Sunshine City. The smaller one called gatcha gatcha no mori (if I remembered correctly) was located on either 1st or LG(sorry I forgot). This place closed at 8pm along with most of the stores inside like kiddyland, Pokemon etc. While the biggest one will close at 9pm and the restaurants inside will close at 10pm. The gatcha place is really so big and there are lots of gatcha to play. My experience was just okay because I arrived quite late and only have around 1 hour to play before it closed. The place is clean but they don't have many staffs. Once, my gatcha ball didn't go out and it was hard to find the staff and when I found it, she asked me to wait because another customer already asked her for something (I managed to get my stucked gatcha ball at the end). In my opinion, you don't have specially to come here. There are lots of gatcha too at Akihabara.

I especially loved the outdoor zone — the seals and penguins were so cute and playful! The clear water and transparent glass tanks made it easy to enjoy watching them up close. The indoor area was nice too. It’s not very big, but I think it’s perfect for young kids and families. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the children around us looked really excited and happy. ☺️

My family visited this aquarium today. We bought our tickets online, which made check-in quick and convenient. It was quite crowded, but we still managed to see all the animals. My daughter, who is two and a half, was especially happy and excited to watch the penguins and other animals—it was a wonderful experience for her. The ticket price is a bit high compared to the size of the aquarium (¥2,800 per adult). Personally, I think around ¥2,000 would feel more reasonable. I also hope that in the future the penguins and sea lions will have a larger, more comfortable space.

Sunshine Aquarium in Ikebukuro is a unique and enjoyable destination, perfect for families and marine life enthusiasts alike. The rooftop location offers a memorable experience, especially with the “Penguin in the Sky” exhibit where penguins appear to swim through the air with the Tokyo skyline as a backdrop. The aquarium features a diverse collection of over 750 species, including jellyfish, octopus, sea lions, and otters, all displayed in clean and well-maintained tanks. The sea lion shows and penguin feeding sessions are highlights that entertain both children and adults, while the impressive jellyfish tunnel provides a soothing and mesmerizing atmosphere. The facility is compact compared to some larger aquariums, but the creative exhibits and interactive experiences make up for its size. It can get crowded, especially on weekends and holidays, so visiting on a weekday or booking in advance is recommended. Overall, Sunshine Aquarium delivers a fun, educational, and visually stunning outing in the heart of Tokyo—definitely worth a visit for anyone in the area

Pretty cool spot above the mall (need to take elevator up from inside the mall to access). It’s a little expensive for the size of the aquarium, but they have some pretty neat animals to see and overall I liked the vibe. Even though it was a weekday just after golden week, it was a little busy (not crowded at all, but you were never alone in a section for more than a few minutes), but I guess that’s mainly due to it being in a lively urban area.

It was a rainy day so it wasn’t crowded. The animals are diverse and interesting, plus the location is very cool. The performance with the seals was very entertaining. The price does seem a slightly high for the size of the aquarium. Some of the tanks/enclosures seem a bit small for the animals, especially the octopus but I’m no expert.

It was small and the tickets were expensive compared to the other bigger aquariums. The sea animal shows were good but the adults were more engaged than the kids. I’d say it’s more suited for couples on a date rather than kids. Getting our faces drawn was my favorite part of the aquarium 😅

This is such a beautiful aquarium situated in a mall! The best part was the open area where you could view penguins, seals and pelicans swimming from below so it looks like they are swimming in the sky! 100% a must visit if you are in the area!

One of the most complicated train station that I have visited in Tokyo. It is interconnected to malls, supermarkets, and shopping avenues. It has so many exits and I got lost there, although the signs are quite clear. There are many tourist attractions nearby, especially nearby the east exit.

Unbelievable kindness and professionalism from the station staff! While trying to board a train at Ikebukuro Station, my stroller tipped and my purse spilled—our passports and other important items fell onto the tracks. I was panicked, but the station staff responded immediately with calm, care, and incredible efficiency. The officers arrived with their retrieval tools and safely recovered everything, including our passports. They were kind, reassuring, and truly went above and beyond. In a moment of chaos, they were heroes. I’ll never forget their help and compassion. Thank you, Ikebukuro Station team—you turned a scary moment into a story of gratitude.

Who designed the station🫠 Everywhere I go there are no escalators and all the elevators are closed. I had to carry my + my ex’s enormous luggage up stairs. 2023.12.31.21:43

This is one of the busiest and biggest station in Tokyo. You can take different subway lines here and you can easily change line here. The road signs are clear and easy to read. It has so many exits here, they named it as East exits , South exits , West exits & North exits . Each direction exit has another 3 or 4 exits, so you have to make sure which exit you need to go in or out. Many big department stores is around this station , you can get into the these stores from the station level , This is the station that you can feel the busy Tokyo life. This is the station I visited most when I was in Tokyo.

JR Ikebukuro at night is buzzing and full of life—definitely one of Tokyo’s liveliest hubs after dark! The station itself is huge, with tons of exits that open up into bright neon streets, department stores, arcades, and endless food options. Right outside you’ll find Sunshine City, a massive complex with shops, restaurants, bars, and even an aquarium—great for a nighttime wander. The nearby East Exit streets are filled with izakayas and ramen joints, perfect for a casual dinner with coworkers or friends. If you’re up for it, Otome Road offers quirky manga, anime shops, and themed cafés that stay open late. Or hop into a retro gaming arcade or karaoke spot—lots stay open until midnight or even later. The vibe is electric but friendly—street lamps, lively billboards, and groups of people heading out for food or fun. It can get crowded, but it’s part of the charm. Getting back is easy too since JR Ikebukuro runs all night on the Yamanote Line and has great subway connections. Overall, it’s a must-see for anyone who loves Tokyo’s energetic nightlife without heading to Shibuya or Shinjuku.

Ikebukuro is a city within the loop—two department store empires, anime spots, and suburban rail launching in all directions. Students, office folks, shoppers, and cosplayers all thread the same halls. Big, bright, a little wild. Tourist Tip: Watch “East/West” signs—they’re reversed from expectations (Seibu = west gate, Tobu = east gate). Allow time for transfers.

I accidentally entered the wrong ticket gate at the station and had to exit again. When I asked at the Information Center, they told me to scan my rail pass again. However, when I tried to just tap it, the staff member hit my hand back to the Scanner(in a quite rough way), instead of firmly explaining to me, i had to place it on the counter instead of just scanning it. I felt this reaction was unnecessary and unfriendly, especially since I was only trying to follow the instructions after making a simple mistake.

It is a shrine that allegedly helps you to cut bonds with something or someone; Long time ago, people offered wooden plates (ema) praying to cut bonds with smoking or alcohol. Don't be surprised if you find several ema with curses written - some people actually pray for the death of their rivals.

Beautiful landmark

(Translated by Google) It's a place I've wanted to go for years, but buying a votive tablet from a shop in the shopping district is too much of a hurdle (I'm usually in a depressed mood when I pray for severing ties), so I had given up, but the word of mouth about the introduction of the vending machine encouraged me to visit for the first time. When I went there on a weekday afternoon, there was no one there and I was able to pray in peace, but while I was writing my votive tablet, several people came in, and since the site is small, I think four or five people is the limit. The fact that the date is written on the side of the votive tablet shows the consideration of the people in charge, and I felt it was a much more serious place than its occult reputation suggests. (Original) 何年も前から行きたかった場所ですが、商店街のお店の方から絵馬を買うというのがハードルが高く（縁切りを祈願するような時は大抵気も滅入っているので）諦めていて、自販機導入の口コミに力付けられて初参拝しました。 平日昼過ぎに足を踏み入れた時は他に誰も居なくて落ち着いて祈願できましたが、絵馬を書いている間に数人入ってきて、敷地が狭いので4～5人が限度じゃないかと。 絵馬の側面に日付が書かれているのも管理されている方への気遣いが覗えて、オカルト的な評判よりもずっと真面目な場所のように感じました。

(Translated by Google) The first time I went, I went in the evening, and since it was difficult to write on the ema, I just went to pray. The second time, I went back to pray and offer a votive tablet. The atmosphere changes depending on the time of day, and it was unique and amazing. I was surprised to see how the number of votive tablets had increased so much in just two weeks. [Visited: August 2025] (Original) 最初は夕方に行き、絵馬が書きにくかったので、参拝だけしてきました。 2回目は、絵馬を奉納するために、改めて参拝してきました。 雰囲気が時間帯で変わりますが、独特で凄かったです。 2週間で絵馬の数が、一気に増えていて驚きました。 [ 訪問日：2025/08 ]

(Translated by Google) I went there because I heard it's the best shrine for breaking off relationships in Tokyo. It's also said to bring good fortune in finding a good partner. Buy a votive tablet from the vending machine, write your wish on it with the magic marker provided next to it, then put a sticker on it and cover your face. The vending machine is open until 9pm. It's a small shrine. (Original) 都内最強の縁切り神社らしいと聞いて行きました。良縁にも恵まれるらしいです。自販機で絵馬を買い、横に用意してあるマジックで願い事を書きます。シールを貼って目隠しします。自販機は21時まで。こじんまりした神社です。

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine to pray for severing ties with my workplace and with a family member who is ill. Taking the Toei Mita Line, exit at Exit A1 and go straight to the right. When you see a 7-Eleven on your left, cross the traffic light and walk straight to the right. You'll find Enkiri Enoki. This shrine is quietly tucked away in the shopping district. I went on a Saturday around noon, and while there wasn't a long line, there was a steady stream of visitors. They sell ema (votive plaques) from a vending machine, so you can buy one for 1,000 yen each. The ema, netsuke (charcoal ornament), and protective sticker come in a plastic bag. Write your wish on the ema, attach the protective sticker, tie it up, and pray at the shrine in the back. There's a box next to the vending machine to throw away the paper you peeled off the plastic and protective sticker from, so don't forget to throw it away. I wonder if it's okay to take the netsuke home as a good luck charm. I hope your wish comes true. I went there twice this year and wrote on a votive tablet that I wanted to resign in September. One month ago today, I told the president about my intention to resign, and it was decided that I will be resigning next month! I didn't expect it to work, but I think there are many benefits, even though you can't see them! I plan to go back and pray to give thanks soon! (Original) 自分の職場縁切りと、家族の病気縁切りに参拝しました。 都営三田線でＡ１出口を出て右手に直進、左手にセブンイレブンが見えたら信号を渡って右へまっすぐ歩くと、縁切榎です。 商店街の中にひっそりとある神社様。 土曜日昼近くに行きましたが、行列まで行かないけど、参拝客が絶えませんでした。 自販機で絵馬販売してるので１枚1000円で購入。 ビニール袋に絵馬と根付け、保護シールがセットになっているので、絵馬に願い事を書き、保護シールを貼って結び、奥にあるお社に参拝します。 ビニールと保護シールを剥がした紙は捨てるＢＯＸが自販機横にあるので忘れずに捨てて下さい。 根付けはそのまま持ち帰りお守りにすると良いのかな。 願い事、叶うと良いな。 今年２回行き、９月には退職したいと絵馬に記入して、１か月前の今日、社長に退職の意思を伝えた所、来月で退職決まりました！ ダメ元でしたけど、目には見えないけどご利益かなりあると思います！近々お礼の参拝に伺う予定です！

(Translated by Google) I visited the shrine to pray for severing ties with my psychopathic boss. Featured in Kiyono Tooru's manga "Tokyo's Mysterious Sake," this is said to be the Kanto region's most powerful spot for severing ties. Kiyono Tooru is said to have severed his ties here, and after visiting Tokyo Daijingu Shrine, married Dan Mitsu, a connection that led to this power spot. I visited just before 11:00 AM on a Saturday, and worshippers praying for severance continued to arrive one after another. However, there wasn't a line. Ema can be purchased at the soba restaurant across the street, or from a vending machine on the temple grounds. There is a writing desk with felt-tip pens next to it, so you can write your thoughts there. A privacy sticker is affixed to the ema, so you can write your thoughts in peace. The second-generation Enkiri Enoki tree was preserved in front of the small shrine. Next to the shrine grounds was a gachapon machine (100 yen) containing fortune-telling slips, but it was broken so I couldn't use it. I also prayed to cut off bad relationships and find good ones. Date of visit: January 18, 2025 [Added May 17, 2025] Perhaps it was the blessing of visiting the Enkiri Enoki tree? In the April personnel changes, my psychopathic boss was transferred to another department, and a close colleague joined in his place. The atmosphere at work has become brighter, which is really great. Thank you very much. I will visit again to offer my thanks. I also wrote about my visit to the Enkiri Enoki tree on my blog, "Takarazuka Street Wanderings." I hope it will be helpful when you visit. [Added October 4, 2025] Although it's a little late, I visited to offer my thanks in September 2025. I will return the netsuke attached to the ema to the thank-you box on the left side of the shrine. There were many netsuke inside the thank-you box. I'm sure the wishes of many people have been granted. After placing my netsuke, I also put my hands together and offered my gratitude. I was able to complete my thank-you visit without any problems, and I feel refreshed. It's like all those difficult days were a lie. Thank you so much. By the way, the gachapon machine next to it, which contained fortune slips, was empty, so I couldn't spin it. I was a little disappointed. (Original) サイコパス上司との縁切りを祈願するため参拝しました。 清野とおるさんの漫画「ゾクッ東京怪奇酒」でも紹介された関東最強と言われる縁切りスポットです。 清野とおるさんは、ここで縁切りをした後、東京大神宮にお参りされたご縁で檀蜜さんとご結婚されたというパワースポット。 土曜日の午前11時前に訪れましたが、縁切りを願う参拝者が続々と訪れていました。 ただ行列ができる程ではありませんでした。 絵馬は向かいの蕎麦屋さんでも購入できますが、境内の自販機でも購入でき、隣にサインペンが置いてある記載台があるので、そちらで記入できます。 絵馬には個人情報保護のシールを貼るので、安心して自分の思いを書くことができます。 小さな祠の前には2代目の縁切り榎が保存されていました。 境内の隣にはおみくじが入ったガチャガチャ(100円)がありましたが、故障のため引けませんでした。 私も悪縁を断ち、良縁に巡り会えるよう祈願しました。 参拝日:2025年1月18日 【追記2025年5月17日】 縁切榎に参拝した御利益でしょうか?4月の人事異動でサイコパス上司が別の部署に異動し、代わりに気心の知れた同僚が加わりました。職場のみんなの雰囲気も明るくなり、本当に良かったです。ありがとうございました。またお礼参りに伺わせてもらいます。 私のブログ「宝塚まちかど放浪記」でも縁切榎にお参りした時の様子をご紹介しています。行かれる際の参考にして頂ければ幸いです。 【2025年10月4日追記】 遅くなりましたが2025年9月にお礼参りに訪れました。 絵馬に付いていた根付は、祠の左側にあるお礼箱にお返しします。 お礼箱の中にはたくさんの根付が納められていました。 多くの人たちの願いを叶えていただいたのでしょうね。 私も根付を納めた後、両手を合わせ感謝の気持ちを捧げました。 お礼参りも無事にでき、気持ちもスッキリしました。 あれだけ苦しかった日々が嘘のようです。 本当にありがとうございました。 ちなみに隣にあったおみくじが入ったガチャガチャは空っぽで回す事はできませんでした。 ちょっと残念でした。

(Translated by Google) I was looking forward to the mozuku tempura, but it was different from what you would find on the mainland of Okinawa, and instead was more crispy and crunchy than you would find at a soba restaurant in Tokyo. It's a little oily and doesn't have the texture of mozuku. To be honest, Okinawa soba is top-level delicious. I think it's quite high quality for a restaurant that serves set meals. (Original) もずく天ぷらを楽しみにはしていましたが、いわゆる沖縄本土で食べられるものとは違い、東京のそば屋で出てくるようなサクサクカリカリ系の天ぷらでした。 少し油っぽく、もずくの食感は感じられません。 沖縄そばは正直な話、トップレベルの美味しさです。 定食を食べる店としては相当ハイレベルかと思われます

(Translated by Google) This time I had a pork and egg set meal. Okinawan music is playing inside the store, making you feel like you're in Okinawa. The soup that comes with the set meal is delicious! Of course, the pork eggs were also delicious. The cost performance is also great. I found a good store. I will go again. (Original) 今回 ポーク卵定食食べました。 店内は沖縄の音楽が流れていて沖縄気分に浸れます。 定食についてるスープが旨い！ もちろんポーク卵も旨かったです。 コスパも最高。 良い店見つけた。 また行きます。

(Translated by Google) I visited around 2pm! It was so delicious! ! I love Soki soba so I will come again ♡ (Original) 14時ごろ訪問しました！ めっちゃ美味しかったです！！ ソーキそば大好きなのでまた来ます♡

(Translated by Google) I'm glad they have half Okinawa soba. The mozuku tempura was freshly fried and crispy, and tasted better than the solid pieces we eat locally. The style of buying meal tickets from the ticket vending machine at the entrance. Good when you want to eat something. There is one counter and one table seat. (Original) 沖縄そばのハーフがあるのが嬉しいです。もずくの天ぷらは揚げたてサクサクで現地で食べるまるっと固まっている物より美味しかったです。入口の券売機で食券を買うスタイル。ちょっと食べたい時などにいいです。カウンターとテーブル席が1つあります。

(Translated by Google) Near Itabashi-honmachi station. I stopped by for the first time today as I was driving by nearby and was curious. (Miso Okinawa Soba) It was very delicious, a taste you can't find anywhere else. Next time, I would like to try the Gurukun Tatsutaage. I will drop by again. Thank you for the meal. (Original) 板橋本町駅の近く。今日は車で近く通りがけ気になっていたので初めて寄らせていただきました。 （　味噌沖縄そば　）とても美味しかったです、他では食べられない味。 次はグルクン竜田揚げ是非食べてみたいです。また寄らせていただきます。 ご馳走さまでした。

(Translated by Google) About 1 minute walk from Exit A4 of Itabashi Honmachi Station on the Mita Line. You can see Route 17 (Nakasendo) in front of you, so if you head towards Toda, you will find it past Bento and My Curry Shokudo. I visited around 6:45pm on weekdays. There were two customers ahead of us, but they were ordering takeout. First of all, it seems that you buy a meal ticket from the ticket vending machine on the left side of the entrance. However, there are too many menus, and the one on the top left says "kake soba", which makes it even more confusing. . . Since it's an Okinawan restaurant, I chose the "Bitter melon champuru set meal + half soba noodles" for 1,100 yen. There was only one shop owner so I waited for about 15 minutes. Well, it seems like it's slow. Because it's Okinawa. Looking around the store, I noticed that there were a lot of menu items, like a large bowl of rice for a set meal? Oni-mori? There's just too much information out there, like free large servings of soba. So, "Bitter melon champuru set meal + half soba" arrived, and it is a set meal of rice, bitter gourd champuru, half soki soba, mozuku vinegar, and salad. I'll start with the conclusion, but it's not bad, but it's not good either, but it costs 1,100 yen. . . is my honest opinion The soba noodles are crumbly, but the bitter gourd champuru is spam. This is a store that is difficult to rate. However, it doesn't surpass the level of making it at home. I felt calm. It's not bad though. Hmm. Hmm. It's difficult. However, I would go again. . . . I don't know. Since there are many menu items, I would like to go to Yamayama. (Original) 三田線「板橋本町」駅A4出口より徒歩1分ほど。目の前に17号（中山道）が見えるので、戸田方面に向かうとお弁当やとマイカレー食堂とかを越えた先にあります。 平日18：45ほどに伺いました。先客2組いましたがテイクアウトでしたね。 まずは入口左手の券売機で食券を買うようです。とはいえ、メニュー多すぎですし、左上は「かけそば」とのことで、余計に混乱します。。。沖縄料理のお店なので「ゴーヤちゃんぷる定食+半そば1100円」にしました。 店主1名とのことで約15分位待ちました。まーゆっくりな感じですかね。沖縄ですので。 店内を見渡すと、やはりメニューが多い、定食のライス大盛り？鬼盛り？とか、そばの大盛り無料とか、とにかく情報量が多すぎですかね。 ということで、「ゴーヤちゃんぷる定食+半そば」が到着しましたが、ごはん、ゴーヤちゃんぷる、半ソーキそば、もずく酢、サラダの定食です。 結論から先に書きますが、悪くはないが、良くもない、でも、これで1100円はとなると。。。が素直な感想です そばはボソボソですが、ゴーヤちゃんぷるは、ちゃんとスパムですけど。なかなか評価が難しいお店です。とはいえ、まー家庭で作るレベルを越えてこないよね。という感じに落ち着きました。悪くはないのですが。 うーん。うーん。難しいですね。とはいえ、もう一度行くかといえば。。。。どうかなと思います。メニュー多数なんで、通ってみたいのはヤマヤマなのですが。

(Translated by Google) The ticket vending machine outside was difficult to understand. The store offers a set of half taco rice and half Okinawa soba. take-out lunch box Bitter gourd champuru Pork egg pork cutlet Taco rice If it had a little more volume...

Today was a hot Saturday, my husband and I wanted to go out and try something new and interesting restaurant, we saw that this place has a very big and cheesy hamburg steak, so we came here to try out. It is kind of a hidden place in Ikebukuro, a 10 minutes walk from the station. The restaurant looks big and a bit old from the outside. We went inside and got seated at the outside which we like, the atmosphere here is like a bar and restaurant, feels casual but fun. When you are ready to order, you needed to go to the counter and order it yourself, then they will bring the food to you when it’s ready. They have lots of interesting beer choices from around the world, also different food choices from different countries. We chose the hamburger gratin from Portugal and the oven-baked pork with sauerkraut from Montenegro. The food came quite quick. The hamburger gratin was big and delicious, outside is bread, and inside is juicy hamburg steak, top with cheese and tasty sauce. The oven-baked pork with sauerkraut tasted more like a German dish, the pork slices were big and juicy, there were 2 and 1/3 slices pork with lots of sauerkraut. We were very happy with the portion and quality of the food and drinks. It’s a great place to eat and drink with friends or your date, we will come back to try more interesting food on the menu!

just came here for an iced latte! but staff was friendly and helpful. decently priced, was 320 yen for the iced latte. which is cheaper than a lot of places i’ve been to! sugars, syrup, ect is free and self serve. music was a total vibe, love sza 🫶

Extremely kind and helpful staff, speedy and delicious food, thank you for your hospitality.

I just wanted pancakes for breakfast! why have it on the menu if you don't serve it till later. Paid for buffet breakfast but it's literally just toast, soup and coffee. No Tea. Why can't pancakes be sold!! I don't understand.

Coffee is so so but pancake is good enough! Additional review on oct. 2021: very good lunch!

Great local vibes in the heart of the red light district of Ikebukuro, just down the alley from a SM club and I wouldn't change a thing. This place is fantastic for foreign food with a good spin or coffee while talking.

Free wifi + warm + friendly service! I got the green pancake, and it was actually really cute. Came with animal crackers + cookie crumbs to sprinkle on top. The sauce is very thick, not very green, but still delicious.

One of the best burgers I had in Tokyo! Variety of selections. Side dishes are great. The veggies inside the burgers are fresh! I wish the burger is little bit warmer, then it will be perfect!!

Delicious burgers, great variety and super nice staff. I’ll come back many times for sure. We tried two popular burgers based on reviews: “Cheese cheese cheese” and “Pine & Cheese” (grilled pineapple and cheese. I added extra bacon. No need tbh). Both were really good. I liked that I had the choice to make a combo with other than fries. The options included green salad (my choice), tomato salad, mashed potatoes and coleslaw salad. They pride on their beer selection, and I was happy to find they have a good soft drinks variety as well. Jasmine tea and several juices were nice to see besides oolong cha, typical Coca Cola and orange juice. Happy to have this spot in Itabashi.

The food is nice but the store itself rather small. Smoking is allowed at dinner time (unfortunately) and you might end up on a cramped counter seat unless you reserve a table. Huge, huge selection of burgers and sauces. Highly customizable. We're talking dozens. The fries are just ok.

I popped in on my way to Ikebukuro because I knew I could get a delicious vegetarian sandwich. Although Hungry Heaven is essentially a burger place, if you search carefully through the menu you’ll find a sandwich section & there is a single item proudly marked as vegetarian friendly. Take the North exit from Kami-Itabashi Station, turn left along the train tracks, walk a few metres & take the stairs where you see a small sandwich board. Enjoy!

Had the "Grill grill grill" burger which had a fantastic balance of flavors, and especially the grilled tomato and onion complemented the meat and sauces fantastically. The social distancing mechanisms are alright however people at the counter seats are a little closer. Food was good, service was prompt despite it being full and atmosphere was reasonable. Two burgers with a drink and side each cost about ¥3400. Note: the burger was great but the tomato "salad" was near inedible.

Not the best picture...because I couldn’t wait to eat this beauty! They have a variety to choose from and customizable everything. The staff has a recommendation list if you’re in doubt or just cannot choose from the long list. The beer list is good as well with both import and export. Random life-sized Superman was a bit creepy, not going to lie.

Amazing people, so nice and friendly, felt like I was eating with my family. That paired with incredible food led me and my family to stop by everyday to end our trip in Tokyo.

Omiya is named after this place - Omiya Hikawa shrine. It's the biggesst shrine and the headquater of Hikawa kind of one around Saitama area. Perfect spot for having little walking.

Super Impressive Shinto Shrine. Very beautiful grounds and lots of smaller shrines here too. Very popular with the locals. About a 10 minute walk from the train station. Check it out if you’re in the area.

This is a historic shrine set in a beautiful park with water features, ducks, koi and turtles. The sense of peace and tranquility fills you as soon as you enter. We happened upon it by accident, walking back from the Bonzai Village. It was so beautiful, and we enjoyed playing our respects at the temples inside, as well as veiring the gardens and wildlife. The koi were especially friendly. There are signs warning not to feed them. Thought the park, there is a children's playground, and a zoo as well. We returned the next day to visit the zoo.

So peaceful and quiet shrine in Japan. Beautiful trees and so close to the city!

We walked from Omiya Station to Musashi Ichinomiya Hikawa Jinja. The autumn leaves What a beautiful we took a small stop at the Manju shop. We had finished our Goshuincho and had to purchase a new one. The shrine is beautiful with lots of things to see. There is a park nearby and we enjoyed the sight of the Ginko threes turning yellow.

This shrine is medium in size. But the path leading to the main shrine is very long, There are trees to enjoy. The inside of the shrine was quiet and has a unique Japanese architectural building.

Great historical Shinto shrine in Japan. Also known as Ichinomiya shrine of Musashi province. This shrine has sacred atmosphere.

If you're exploring the area, definitely worth a stop! It's 260¥ per adult. It's an cute town outside the major Tokyo city. Took me 2 hours to get through. I ate lunch at the cafe inside. Has stamps throughout the gardens. Some signs in English but majority in Japanese. I used Google translate.

There was a massive ray in a tiny pool. It made me so sad I cried. The other animals did not seem much better off. If you care about animal welfare, I do not recommend a visit.

This place is such a lovely gem in Itabashi. Especially if you are a plant lover. They even have a resident fresh water sting ray . Her name is Chao. 😃 Made my day. She kept coming to the glass whenever anyone passed as if to greet them.

This place was a gem! My son loves plants and going to a garden would be so hard due to the severe summer heat. This botanical garden has an aquarium. It also has some animals and insects to view. The green house has a place for tropical plants and a cooler area to replicate the climate for cooler plants. So far, it has the most amount of insectivorous plants on display. It is the only place we’ve been so far in Tokyo that has アルソミトラ on display. Which was a pleasant surprise.

For ¥200 the price can’t be beat! My friend and I absolutely loved the mini aquarium, and the garden itself was also lovely. If you like fish and plants you can easily spend quite a while here.

Short but beautiful, serene tropical setting. Love the water features and aquarium.

The plants are beautiful and the explanations about Malaysian flora are interesting. Overall the place would get 4 stars if there were no animals or if they had better enclosures. The stingray is miserable, the bigger fishes have tiny aquariums and no plants and no space. Please do better for the animals in your care.

The park itself has so many amenities that you can enjoy. Me and my family had a fun here this Obon Yasumi. We enjoyed the fountain were you can dip your toes and water play with your kids , a very spacious barbeque place that is free ( Just reserve days before your plan date 9am-3pm online) and a very nice blend of nature in the middle of a city here in Tokyo. The only thing that I can wish is that I hope they will improve the condition of their toilets and also to have a small area where you can buy stuff needed for barbeque or sports activies. We will surely come back here for more family bonding and memories.

Beautiful autumn foliage, especially the trees near the playground get a stunning rusty orange shade. The leaves are allowed to stay on the ground on the grilling hillock area and it is wonderful to wade through them. Brings back childhood memories. I wish all Japanese parks allowed the leaves to stay on the ground.

Nice park with a big running field , BBQ Area and toilets.

Fantastic place for Momiji and BBQ. Pretty out of the way from where I live (or work) though.

It was cherry blossom viewing time. I was there for only a short time. The blossoms were lovely but it was very crowded. The park is spacious and provides plenty of room for jogging or relaxing most of the time.

I love this place. Daily i spend 30-45 minutes in the morning walk. Its so natural peaceful.

The best place you can test your relationship with nature. I love it. Just as I love my mother nature❤

I love this small temple. There are no large tourist crowds, and it's peaceful. They close early, but it's a must-see if you are in Itabashi and are interested in visiting temples. It would take less than an hour to see everything-maybe 30 minutes, but it's next to the botanical garden. And walking distance to the castle ruins and the drippy waterfall.

Beautiful area and botanical garden just steps away. Worth the journey over to this part of the city

I’ve been coming here with my family for more than 20 years. It’s a special treasure of our neighborhood, and I am somewhat grateful that more people don’t know about it. New Year’s Day is can be a long wait. This last time we were disappointed that there weren’t any vendors selling food stalls in the parking lot as we are used to seeing. We left hungry, but happy as always to see our buddy the Buddha. When I speak with others who are from the Tokyo area, most say they never knew that there is Japan’s third largest Buddhist statue right here in our humble hood. If you haven’t come to see it yet, I highly recommend it. The nearby Botanical Gardens also beautiful, especially in the fall and spring.

A very peaceful place, with a big Buddha statue. I was surprised it was not full of people when I went. Definitely an underrated place. If you go by bicycle it’s very convenient through Arakawa river.

Nice temple with a beautiful garden, and a huge black Buddha statue, a dragon shrine, and some other statues. It was a surprise to discover it when exiting from the botanical garden because it doesn't have the word "temple" in Google maps and foreigners have no idea what Daibutsu is. See the pictures:

Peaceful temple in Idabashi. Rather unfortunate that it does not get alot of visitors given that its far from central Tokyo. The surrounding temple, gardens, and koi pond we all very beautiful! You can even feed the fish in the koi pond!

Very nice & quite temple 🙏🙏🙏 Namo Buddhaya...IG : tirta_lie

(Translated by Google) 8 ton soup set 1155 yen A famous gyoza chain originating from Chiba. It is famous for its fried gyoza that looks like inari sushi. Colored papers of Matsuko, Director Manaka, and the broadcaster are displayed at the entrance. There are several stores in Tokyo, but was this one easy to get into? Perhaps because the time was right, I was able to get a larger seat even if I was alone. For now, I ordered the most default-looking grilled gyoza set with 8 tons of soup (8 gyoza, pork soup, and rice, no pickles or side dishes). "I can't order additional gyoza, is that okay?" I was told, but the rules are pretty strict. But since it's my first time and I don't understand it, I feel bad leaving it behind, so I'm going to make a set of 8. There was no explanation for cold drinks, but it seems like they are self-serve. It seems like the tissues are just magnetically attached to the side of the water tank. The table seasonings are soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, ichimi (for pork soup, I think), and oil ichimi (the stuff that often collects at the bottom of chili oil). The set meal arrived without a long wait. I took a photo of the back side, but only the bottom is fox colored and the wrapped side is different. Is it wrapped like Shumai? The thick skin is well-baked, so it has a texture similar to baked goods. This is because the bowl of pork soup with astragalus is too hot...it's a relatively light pork soup. When it comes to gyoza chains, I can't help but compare them to Ohsho and Manchuria... Even though the taste of the gyoza depends on your preference, I wonder if the cost performance is a little better... Another thing is that the location is quite strange... well, it's okay if it's spacious. The staff was average, the payment method was cash, and the customer base that day was not very good. I guess I'll have to decide after eating at other restaurants... (Original) 8トン汁セット　1155円 千葉発祥の有名な餃子チェーン。見た目はいなり寿司みたいな焼餃子で有名。 マツコとか真中監督と配信者の色紙が入口に飾ってある。都内は何店舗かあるけどここが入りやすかったんだろうか？確かに時間帯が良かったのか1人でも広めの席に通してもらえた。 とりあえず1番デフォルトっぽい焼餃子の8トン汁セット（餃子8個と豚汁とご飯、香の物や小鉢などは無し）を注文。 「餃子の追加注文できませんがよろしいですか？」とのことだがまあまあ厳しいルールなんですね。でも初めてでわからないし残しても申し訳ないので8個のセットで。 お冷は特に説明もなかったですがセルフのようです。ティッシュもマグネットで水のタンクの側面に貼り付けてあるものだけのようですね。 卓上調味料は醤油、酢、ラー油、一味（豚汁用かな）、油一味（よくラー油の底に溜まってるやつ）です。 あまり待たずに定食が届きました。裏側の写真を撮りましたがあくまでも底面だけを狐色にして包んだ側は違うんですね。シュウマイみたいな包み方なのかな？厚めの皮をしっかり焼いているので焼き菓子みたいな食感です。 レンゲは豚汁の器が熱すぎるからなんですね……割とあっさり目の豚汁です。 餃子チェーンだとどうしても王将や満洲と比べてしまいますが……餃子の味は好みによるとしてもちょっとコスパがよくないかなぁ…… 後は場所が結構微妙なところにあるのも…まあ広めでいいんですけどね 店員さんは可もなく不可もなし、支払い方法は現金かいたペイ、当日の客層はあまり良くありませんでした 他の店舗を食べての判断かな……

(Translated by Google) This is a restaurant where you can eat white gyoza in Tokyo, and it's located a 10-minute walk from Takashimadaira Station! When I came to the store on a weekday evening, I was able to get in right away ❗️ There are about 10 autographed colored papers displayed inside the store, and it seems like celebrities and famous people have visited the store✨ By the way, white gyoza originated in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture, and it became white gyoza because the first chairman learned how to make gyoza from Mr. Haku in China. This time I ordered the 12 ton soup set meal (1,245 yen including tax)! A set meal consisting of 12 grilled gyoza and pork soup Each white gyoza is handmade in the shop, from the skin to the wrapping! When I tried it, the bean paste had quite a bit of garlic and was delicious. The sweetness of the gyoza skin may be its characteristic! The sauce is made by yourself, and in addition to soy sauce and vinegar, there is also homemade chili oil, and we recommend adding plenty of chili oil to change the taste. The pork soup had a sweet and gentle seasoning using Hokuriku miso, and it was delicious with lots of green onions! Why not come and try some white gyoza? (Original) 都内でホワイト餃子が食べられるお店で、高島平の駅から歩いて10分の場所にあるよ！ 平日の夕方に来店するとすぐ入れた❗️ 店内にはサイン色紙が10枚程飾られていて、芸能人や有名人も来店してる模様✨ ちなみにホワイト餃子は千葉県野田市発祥で、初代会長が中国で餃子作りを白さんから習ったことから、ホワイト餃子になったそう 今回は12トン汁定食（税込1,245円）を注文！ 12個の焼き餃子と豚汁がセットになった定食 ホワイト餃子は皮から包むまでお店で一つひとつ手作りされているよ！ 食べてみると、餡は割とニンニクが効いていて美味しい 餃子の皮が甘みがあるのが特徴かも！ タレは自分で作るスタイルで、醤油やお酢の他にも自家製ラー油があって、ラー油はたっぷり付けて味変してみるのもオススメ✨ 豚汁は北陸の味噌を使った甘みがある優しい味付けで、ネギがたくさん入っていて美味しかった！ ホワイト餃子を食べに訪れてみては

(Translated by Google) This gyoza chain restaurant originated in Noda City, Chiba. The restaurant is even decorated with signatures of customers like Matsuko and Y.S. Manaka. These gyoza are deep-fried in a unique, thick skin that's crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, making them a great choice for every meal. The filling inside is rich in vegetables and has a moderate garlic aroma, making it perfect for a beer! The gyoza are crispy and puffy at first, but over time they shrink and soften with the steam from the filling. The homemade oil and chili pepper add a touch of spiciness, which is great for changing up the flavor! Customers who order pan-fried gyoza can also order a set of four, which is half the serving of boiled gyoza, perfect for when you're in the mood for a light snack. The boiled gyoza have less filling, but the thick, chewy skin is delicious, and the ponzu sauce makes them refreshing. Frozen and baked gyoza are also available for takeout. (Original) 千葉の野田市発祥の餃子チェーン店。 お店にはマツコやＹＳ真中などの来店サインも飾られています。 独特な厚めの皮に揚げ焼きされた、外はカリカリともっちり感がたまらない、たまに食べたくなる餃子。 中の餡も野菜多めで程よくニンニクも香りビールが進みます！ 最初はカリカリで膨らんでいた餃子も時間が経つと餡の蒸気でしぼんで柔らかくなります。 あと自家製油一味もピリ辛で味変に良きです！ 焼きを注文した方限定で水餃子0.５人前の４個セットも頼めて、ちょっと食べたい気分には最適です。 水餃子は餡少なめですが、分厚い皮のモチモチ感が良いですし、ポン酢でさっぱり食べられますよ。 冷凍や焼きのテイクアウトもできます。

(Translated by Google) White gyoza originated in Noda City, Chiba Prefecture. These gyoza dumplings are fried to a crispy texture on the outside and soft on the inside. The freshly made food was delicious. As time passes, the gyoza that had swelled up like a balloon will start to deflate, so I felt that it would be more delicious to eat them while they were as hot as possible. I ordered pork soup with the set, but I don't think it can be called pork soup... It's pork miso soup. It was lunchtime and the store was crowded. There seems to be a free parking lot, and it seems that about 5 cars can be parked a little away from the store. However, there was a note in the store that said parking lot users had bad manners. It was written that if this becomes a regular occurrence, you may not be allowed to use the parking lot, so be careful when using it. (Original) 千葉県野田市発祥のホワイト餃子。揚げるような感じで焼かれ、外はカリッと中は柔らかい食感の餃子です。 出来立ては美味しかったです。時間経つと、風船みたいに膨らんでた餃子がしぼんてしまう感じになりますので、できる限り熱いうちに食べた方が、より美味しいなあと感じました。 セットて豚汁頼みましたが、あれは豚汁とはいえないかなあと…。豚汁風みそ汁ですね。 昼時もありお店は混んでました。無料駐車場があるらしく、店から少し離れた所に５台ほど停めれるようです。けど、店内の注意事項に、駐車場利用者のマナーが悪いと記載がありました。それが常態化すると駐車場が使わせてもらえなくなるかもとの事が書かれてましたので、使う際は気をつけましょう。

(Translated by Google) I've been coming here with my family since I was little. The gyoza are delicious, even when they're cold and crispy. They're served freshly made, so they're piping hot and delicious. I love the boiled gyoza, which has shrimp in it. These are gyoza that you can only get here. (Original) 小さい頃から家族と通ってます。冷めてもカリカリの餃子が美味しいです。焼き立てで出てくるのでアツアツで美味い😋水餃子は海老が入っていて好きです。ここでしか味わえない餃子です🥟♪

(Translated by Google) I wasn't sure if I would be able to finish it, so I just ordered one portion of fried gyoza and one portion of boiled gyoza, and refrained from ordering the set meal. In the end, I was able to eat it all, deliciously, in one go. Both had chewy skins and a strong flavor. I'd wanted to try it for a while, so I went in during lunch hours, and by the time I finished, it was past lunchtime, but I was happy to stay. The restaurant was easy to come in and eat in, even if I was a woman alone. However, it's a matter of personal preference, so I probably won't be returning, but I would recommend it to others! (Original) 食べ切れる量か不安だったので焼き餃子一人前と水餃子一人前だけにして定食セットは遠慮しました。結果最後まで美味しくペロリと食べ切れました。どちらも皮がモチモチで味もしっかりついてました。前から食べてみたかったのでお昼の営業中に入り食べ終わる頃にはお昼時間過ぎていても快く居させてもらいました。女性1人でも入っても気軽に食べれる店内でした。ただ好みの問題でリピートはもうしないかもしれないが人にはすすめられます！

(Translated by Google) I arrived just before the last order on a weekday. The female waitress wasn't very friendly. However, a man who seemed to be the owner was very kind, even though I was there at the last minute. I was able to apologize for ordering at the last minute, so that was good. The most important thing was the taste, which was a new sensation...! The meat filling was light and vegetable-based, with a crispy crust. It was very delicious. It was surprisingly hot, and I got burned. 💦 For this portion, the price is reasonable. The homemade chili oil is more spicy than umami. I felt that I enjoyed the original flavor of the gyoza better with regular vinegar and soy sauce. (Original) 平日のラストオーダーギリギリに到着。女の店員さんはあまり愛想はよくありませんでした。ですが、店主さん？のような男性の方はギリギリにもかかわらず親切な対応をしてくださいました。ギリギリの注文ですみませんと伝えることも出来たので良かった。肝心の味は新感覚…！ 肉ダネは野菜ベースであっさり。周りはカリカリ。とても美味しかったです。思いのほか熱くて火傷しました💦このボリュームでこの値段は妥当かと。自家製のラー油は旨味より辛味が強め。私は普通に酢醤油で食べた方が餃子本来の味が楽しめるなと感じました。

(Translated by Google) Came in on Saturday morning. The table wipe has a slight rag smell. It was supposed to be an unused table wipe, but it smelled like a rag. I thought, ``Oh no,'' and when I took out a new table wipe, it smelled like a rag again...What's going on? There was nothing particularly interesting about the food, it was just Matsuya. There are two staff members, one male and one female. The man is wearing a mask, but the woman is not. It's okay for women to say hello or call someone out in a loud voice, but if that's the case, I'd like them to wear a mask. (Original) 土曜日の午前中に入店。 テーブル拭きが微妙に雑巾臭。 未使用テーブル拭きのはずなのに雑巾臭。 やべぇと思って新しくテーブル拭きを取るとこれまた雑巾臭…どうなってんの？ 食事は特に気になるところもなく普通に松屋だったけど。 スタッフは男1女1計2人。 男はマスクしてるが女はマスク無し。 女のほうが挨拶や呼び出しなどけっこう大きな声でするのはけっこうだけど、それならマスクしてほしいな。

(Translated by Google) Depending on the day, the beef bowl is sometimes generous and sometimes meager. You can see the rice in the gaps. I want the rice and beef bowl portions to be balanced. I don't like it when it's stingy. (Original) 日により牛丼にボリュームがある時と、ショボい時の差を感じる。すき間にご飯が見えてたり。ご飯も丼肉もバランスよく盛ってほしい。セコいのは嫌だ。

(Translated by Google) I used it for lunch. There were about 10 seats at the counter and 3 tables for two people, and there were quite a few customers. It seems that you can get a second helping of rice for the set meal. It's great for students and people who eat a lot. The pickled ginger on the table was individually wrapped to take home. I think people who are concerned about common red ginger will be happy with this. Personally, I like both of the pickled pickled ginger because each one is short. The inside of the store was beautiful. (Original) ランチで利用しました。カウンター10席ぐらい、2人用テーブル席も3つぐらいあり、お客さんもそこそこ入っていました。定食はライスおかわりができるようです。学生やよく食べる人には嬉しいですね。 テーブルの上にある紅生姜は持ち帰り用の個包装タイプでした。共用紅生姜が気になる人には、これも嬉しいと思います。体感的に持ち帰り用紅生姜って、それぞれが短いから個人的にはどっちもどっちですけど 店内は綺麗でした。

(Translated by Google) Matsuya is a short walk from Takashimadaira Station. Opened in December 2018. The store was new and clean. The store is self-service. After ordering at the ticket vending machine, take a seat and wait. You can get your own water or tea from the machine, and all you have to do is go pick it up when your ticket number is called. The taste is consistent and delicious, and people who want to eat it quickly will find it very useful. (Original) 高島平駅から徒歩ですぐの松屋です。 2018年の12月にオープン。店内は新しく、綺麗でした。 店内はセルフサービス式です。 券売機で注文したら、席に座って待ちます。 自分でお水やお茶も機械から汲むことができ、あとは券の番号が呼ばれたら受け取りに行くだけです。 味も安定して美味しく、サッと食べたい人なんかはかなり重宝しそうです。

(Translated by Google) Lately, Matsuya has become self-service, and the menu at the ticket machine is difficult to understand...On this day, I was planning on getting a large single item at a low price, but I unexpectedly got a full set! ? Moreover, if it is cashless, the payment will be made without confirmation of the amount, so you have to be careful. (Original) 最近の松屋ってセルフになって発券機のメニュー、わかりにくいんだよね…この日も安めにアタマの大盛り単品のつもりが思わぬフルセット！？しかもキャッシュレスだと金額確認もなく決済されちゃうから、気をつけないとねーっw

(Translated by Google) It is currently temporarily closed. It will reopen at 3pm on September 12th. (Original) 現在一時的に閉店しています。 9月12日15時オープンするとのこと。

(Translated by Google) A beef bowl restaurant with affordable prices. Every once in a while, an attractive set meal would come up on the menu and I would stop by for that purpose. This time, I ordered a large bowl of tonteki beef bowl, and it was hearty and satisfying. (Original) 庶民的価格な牛丼屋さん。 たまに魅力的な定食がメニューに上がりそれ目的で寄ってみました。 今回はトンテキ牛丼の大盛を注文、ボリューミーで満足感たっぷりでした。

Forget this place! Business hours unreliable and sporadic. I ran past the store 3 times in March and it was closed. Went there today (April 3) at 13:00, walked in and got the big crossed-hands sign and was told lunchtime was over! What sort of restaurant closes at 13:00 on a Saturday? Don’t waste your time going to this place.

Good foods with cheap prices

(Translated by Google) Authentic Thai food is spicy! I have the impression that it is crowded at night, but on this day I was able to come in without a reservation. This time I ordered "Som Tam" and "Khao Gukka Pao". ○Somtam This is a fairly spicy Thai-style salad with the crunchy texture of green papaya and the refreshing sourness of lime that will whet your appetite. The aroma of crushed peanuts is an accent ◎ I'm addicted to the spiciness and order it every time, but it's so spicy that I sweat while eating it. ○Khao Gukka Pao Spicy fried rice made with shrimp and basil. Be careful when ordering various types as the portions are large. Since it's Thai rice, it was surprisingly easy to eat. Some of the dishes with the spicy mark are close to extremely spicy, so we recommend checking with the staff before ordering. For those who want to eat authentic Thai food If you're in the area, please check it out. ☺︎︎Order list ・Pad Thai 950 yen ・Khaokggapao 1000 yen ・Som Tam 1200 yen ・Pragun 1100 yen ・Guava juice 350 yen ・Coconut juice 350 yen ♪Profile I especially love seafood and noodles, so if I feel like it, I'll go eat it. I would like to introduce it on Instagram, but I'm slacking off. @k.gourmeet I'm posting a food log on Googlemap, so please come and have a look if you'd like. (Original) 本格タイ料理は辛旨！ 夜は混んでいるイメージがありますがこの日は予約なしではいることが出来ました。 今回は「ソムタム」と「カオグッカパオ」などを注文。 ○ソムタム 青パパイヤのシャキシャキとした食感と、ライムの爽やかな酸味が食欲をそそる、かなり辛めなタイ風サラダです。 砕いたピーナッツの香ばしさがアクセントになっていて◎ この辛さがクセになって毎回注文してますが辛すぎて汗をかきながら食べてます。 ○カオグッカパオ 海老とバジルを使った辛味のあるチャーハンです。 ボリュームがあるので色んな種類を注文する時は注意。 タイ米なので意外とあっさりと食べれました。 辛いマークがついてる料理は激辛に近い辛さのメニューもありますので店員さんに確認してから頼むのをおすすめします。 本場のタイ料理を食べたい方は お近くによったらぜひ。 ☺︎︎注文リスト ・パッタイ 950円 ・カオクッガパオ 1000円 ・ソムタム 1200円 ・プラーグン1100円 ・グァバジュース 350円 ・ココナッツジュース 350円 ♪プロフィール 特に海鮮・麺類大好きで気になったら食べに行きます。 インスタでも紹介したいのですがおサボり中です。@k.gourmeet Googlemap、食べログ投稿していますのでもし良かったら見に来てください。

(Translated by Google) I went there for lunch. You can choose from about six different dishes on the menu that day. My wife ordered less rice, so she brought it to me, so it was a very filling meal. The woman next to me left some, so even the regular portion would have been quite filling. The food was very easy to eat, probably because it was made to suit Japanese tastes. The green curry my wife ordered wasn't spicy at all, so unless you're someone who doesn't like spicy food, I think you'll be able to eat it. (Original) お昼に利用をさせていただきました。その日のメニュー６種類程度から何種か選んでいただきます。妻がご飯を少なくした分、私に持ってくれたため、すごいボリュームでした。隣の女性は残してしまっていたので、普通でもボリュームは多いと思います。味はとても日本人によせて作ってくれているのか、とても食べやすかったです。妻の頼んだグリーンカレーも全然辛くなかったので、よほど辛いのが苦手な方でない限りは食べられるかと思います。

(Translated by Google) At Bai Kaew, I received a set of green curry and tom yum kung ramen (mini). Drinks are self-service and refills are free. Orange juice, apple juice, jasmine tea, etc. are available. If you are using it for the first time, please pour it yourself. There is no explanation from the store staff in advance. During lunch time, you can only use it for 60 minutes. I guess there are people who will stay. The green curry is full of eggplant and chicken. There is also a decent amount of rice. Personally, I prefer it to be spicier. Tom Yum Goong Ramen is a quick meal. I'm a little sad because I don't have many ingredients. This is also where I want more spiciness. I should have told them that the spiciness was very spicy. I think it's a restaurant that caters to Japanese people, rather than an authentic local flavor, so even people who don't like spicy food can eat there. Paypal payment is OK for 1200 yen. Thank you for the meal. (Original) バイケーオでグリーンカレーとトムヤンクンラーメン（ミニ）のセットをいただきました。 ドリンクはセルフサービスでおかわり自由。 オレンジジュース、アップルジュース、ジャスミンティーなど用意してあります。 初めて利用する方は自分で注いで飲んでください。 前もって店員さんからどうぞーといった説明等はありません。 ランチタイムは６０分のみ利用時間とのこと。 居座っちゃう人がいるんでしょうね。 グリーンカレーはナスと鶏肉がゴロゴロ。 ライスもまあまあの量があります。 個人的にはもっと辛いのが良い。 トムヤンクンラーメンはアッサリ目です。 具が少なくてちょっと寂しい。 こちらももっと辛さが欲しいところです。 辛さを大辛と伝えれば良かった。 本格的な現地の味というよりも日本人向けで辛いのが苦手な人でも食べれるお店かと。 １２００円のお会計でpaypay支払いOKです。 ごちそうさまでした。

(Translated by Google) The free refill drink service at lunchtime is really good. Even though it's free, there are a wide variety of drinks such as apple juice, jasmine tea, and tea. Lunch is also reasonably priced at around 800 yen, and it's a high-performance Thai restaurant with standard fare such as gapao, pad thai, and khao man gai. I ordered the green curry, and it wasn't too spicy, and the sweetness of the coconut and the harmony of spices were perfect. It had a lot of ingredients such as chicken and bamboo shoots, and it also came with a salad and rice, so it was very filling. The Thai atmosphere inside the restaurant is good, and the customer service is perfect. You can pay with PayPay, and it was a really great shop. (Original) ランチタイムのおかわり自由のドリンクサービス、すごい良いですね。無料なのにリンゴジュースやジャスミンティ、お茶とか豊富な種類です。ランチもおよそ800円台で価格は抑えてくれてて、ガパオにパッタイにカオマンガイに定番が揃ってて、ハイパフォーマンスのタイ料理屋さんです。私はグリーンカレーを頼みましたが辛すぎず、ココナッツの甘味とスパイスのハーモニーも完璧ですね。鶏肉や筍など具沢山だし、サラダも付くしご飯も含めてボリューミーでした。店内のタイらしい雰囲気も良くて、接客も文句なし。PayPay払い可だし、本当に素晴らしいお店でした。

(Translated by Google) I often go for dinner, and the Singha and Tom Yum noodles are the best. For lunch, I chose two dishes and a drink, and the complimentary dessert cake (similar to a steamed bun) was so fluffy and delicious it melted in my mouth. It doesn't seem to be available for dinner, so it's only available at lunch. I'd like to go again. My favorite green curry was delicious, with tender vegetables and chicken. (Original) ディナーもよく利用し、シンハーとトムヤムヌードルが最高です。 ランチでは２種類のお料理を選びドリンクと、サービスのデザートのケーキ（蒸しパンのような感じ）がフワフワで口に入れると溶けてしまう食感で美味し過ぎました。ディナーでは注文もないようなのでランチで味わえるとのこと。 また行きたいです。 大好きなグリーンカレーは野菜とチキンがとろとろで美味しかったです。

The “Kaiseki Ryoki” which is a traditional Japanese meal brought in course is highly recommended. The food, the environment and service are excellent! It’s a experience that will be in your memory forever from Japan!

Good food and exceptional ingredients. Love the space here. I paid extra 5000yen to get a private room and it's totally worth it. A quite room with the view of a peaceful Japanese garden. Stick with the meal and don't order extra because I couldn't finish mine. The pricing is "reasonable" expensive so don't expect there's economy meals here.

Excellent teishoku for lunch. Nice views of the Japanese garden.

Do you want to try a real Japanese cousin experience in a fancy location, with cool staff and very good and less known (at least to western people) food, well this is the place. A pearl in a not so fancy area, but very charming. Their food is good, varying from freshly prepared sushi to shabu shabu, fish or vegetables, here they have it. Is a must try for me now, and will go there again to try some new food they serve!

The atmosphere of this place was splendid. I had an awesome first experience. The staff here are all well-mannered and friendly. The food here was amazing, truly a wonderful experience.

(Translated by Google) Looking for a relaxing evening, I headed to Yoshimura, located behind Hasune Station. It was the season for the Mid-Autumn Moon, and the decorations inside the restaurant, themed around the autumnal moon, were very beautiful. The decorations change with the seasons, so it's a very enjoyable restaurant to look at. On this day, I ordered the course meal, which I think was around 13,000 yen. Every dish was delicious, presented on beautiful, refined tableware. This is what gourmet delight is all about. It had been a while since I'd been there in the evening, but the garden was also beautiful and lovely during the day. I highly recommend this restaurant. (Original) 落ち着いた夜を過ごしたくて蓮根駅の裏にある 「よし邑」さんへ。 この時期は、ちょうど中秋の名月の季節で 店内のお飾りも秋らしい名月にちなんだお飾りが とても素敵でした。 季節を変えてお飾りが変わるのでそれを見るのも とても楽しい料亭。 この日は、確か13000円くらいのコース。 どのお料理も美しい洗練された器に 美味しいお料理が並びます。 口福とはこういうこと。 夜の利用は、久しぶりでしたが、 昼もお庭がとても綺麗で素敵。 おすすめのお店です。

(Translated by Google) It's been a while since I last visited Yoshimura! It was a collaboration event with a liquor store, so the menu might have been different from usual. We enjoyed high-quality food and a variety of fine sake while looking out at the beautiful garden. Since it was a summer event, we also had some sake on the rocks. All of the sake was quite flavorful, so even on the rocks it still complemented the food perfectly! Every single dish was delicious! The corn puréed soup and the Junmai Daiginjo Tokutoku on the rocks were a particularly great pairing. The slightly sweet sake went perfectly with the sweet corn, and the unpasteurized sake added a nice accent to the food! The grilled hassun (seaweed) further increased our alcohol consumption! There was an abundance of conger eel, sweetfish, and hairtail fish, and the vinegared mackerel was also delicious! And the dessert was delicious! The coconut milk was great, but the black beans on top were also delicious. I asked and found out they sell them in the store, so I bought some to take home! (Original) ひさしぶりのよし邑！酒屋さんとのコラボイベントで。なので通常のメニューとは違うのかも。 素晴らしい庭園を眺めながら上質のお料理と銘酒の数々、夏のイベントということで日本酒をロックでもいただきました。お酒はどれもしっかり味があるタイプなのでロックにしても風味を残したまま料理に寄り添います！ お料理はどれもこれも全部美味しい！中でもとうもろこしのすり流しと、純米大吟醸とくとくロックの合い方が素晴らしかった、少し甘いお酒が甘いとうもろこしにとても良く合い、生酒の風味も料理にアクセントを付けます！そして焼八寸でお酒の消費量がまた増す！鱧、鮎、太刀魚がこれでもかと鯖の酢締も美味しかった！ そしてデザートの美味しさも！ココナッツミルクもさることながら上に乗ってる黒豆が上手くて聞いたら、店頭でも販売してるってことで購入して帰りました！

A small park with a circular structure on top of it. Definitely great for a 360 degrees photo op. There's a public restroom located right behind the Global Ring cafe. It's called a park but there are no plants, there are several benches near the bus stops, great for waiting for your next bus. Located just right outside the west exit of Ikebukuro station, this place should only take 5 minutes of your time to take photos. Views are even better at night.

I dropped by Ikebukuro Nishi-guchi Park to take a short break, and it instantly pulled me into its unique rhythm—lively yet somehow calm at the same time. Street performers fill the air with music, people chat by the fountain, and the energy feels warm and spontaneous, not chaotic. Even with all the motion, there’s a relaxed undertone, like everyone’s sharing the same slow heartbeat beneath the city rush. Benches are easy to find, and the open space feels welcoming at any hour. A perfect little stop to soak in Ikebukuro’s lively charm without feeling overwhelmed.

A great event place with a lot to offer. The location itself is very central and accessible. This area has a lot of restaurants of different variety. Though a busy area, crowded with tall buildings, the Global Ring (event place and stage) is quite big and spacious. Also, the place has different food trucks during events.

This place is clean even at 6am in the morning! I was here waiting for my bus to go to Narita Airport. The public toilet nearby is also surprisingly clean at that early hour in the morning!

quite a nice park retreat for busy people in the city... there are several benches for those who wish to sit in the sun and enjoy the fresh air....

Very nice park with amazing views. A good place if you want to take a quick break from the city. Highly recommend to come during the weekday since many people will come on the weekend.

this is the place where I was waiting my bus to the airport. So many chair to sit here in the park, so its so comfortable place to wait for something. This park has public toilet.

Interesting playground park for children. Children like the big slider. There is a public toilet. Wish they have benches for parents or guardians to sit while waiting.

I bought some foods from combini nearby and I have no idea where to eat since they don't provide chair or table, and I found this perfect place. It was really good to sit down and relax here enjoying my meals. There were a lot of birds during winter. The location is strategic

City oasis with playground for kids. Zipline, slides, and play structure in a shaded area with tall trees.

I found a dead rat and a ton of dog poop in this park on the same day. It has such a unique vibe, I actually kind of like it.

Nice park. Many playgrounds for the kids. Not many places to sit down. Not a picnic park

The park is small but it was beautiful arround the cherry blossom season

Great Park.. though it closes early at 5pm

Came here to get away from the crowd during the cherry blossom blooming season! Great atmosphere here!

Very Nice park and shrines near hotel within 15 min walking distance. Park had beatiful flowering vibernums( hydrangeas) lining the sidewalk paths. Shrines were difficult to find due to a little construction in the park area and maps couldn't really figure out where it was trying to led us. We got there eventually. Glad we stick with it. There was about 12 small shrines dedicated to 12 different deities. Very nice clean safe peaceful place. Also enjoyed watching the goldfish in the pools.

Large wooden shrine at the edge of the Shinjuku Chuo park with many out buildings and garden areas with beautiful water features. Very well maintained and still used by many as a place of prayer and silent reflection. Worth a short walk through to experience the calmness of the shrine.

Really nice shrine adjacent to Shinjuku Central Park. Well maintained and quite historical by all accounts. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

A lovely temple in the middle of West-Shinjuku, its really quiet and the best part is that its open 24/7 (but they only sell shrine and temple goods until 16:00-17:00 in the evening I think). I love the back part of the temple area, the small red bridge with the small shrine may be my favourite part of it all!

A wonderful temple inside the chuo park. A quiet place for meditation. Very pretty during cherry blossom. You can walk from the park to come here. They also sell some temple merchandise.

Beautiful temple on the outskirts of a park. While the grounds are small, it's very peaceful, relaxing, and worth a visit. Stop by if you're walking through Shinjuku Central Park.

A very cozy park that had enjoyable views. I like that there were steps to climb as it gave a little bit of exercise. There is some maintenance needed on some of the bridges. I appreciate the warning signs to keep people safe!

Peaceful place but there have mosquitoes

北区立名主の滝公園 Kita Ward Nanushinotaki Park In the Edo Era, 畑野孫八 Magohachi Matano, the headman of Oji Village built a waterfall on his property and opened it to the towns people to relieve the summer heat. In the mid-Meiji Era, a local trader, 垣内徳三郎 Tokusaburo Kakiuchi created a mountain stream for the locals. In the Showa Era, a company operated a cafeteria and swimming pool in the garden but it burned during World War II and was in ruins. After the war, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government purchased the site and restored the garden, opening it as a paid park in 1960. It was transferred to Kita Ward and is now a park with no admission charge. There are many rustic paths and staircases as well as bridges around the park. I visited on the day of the nearby Oji Inari Shrine Kite Sale.

Nice calm and quiet park with 4waterfalls , only 1 of which was working, others were under maintenance. Entry is free. Kids can play in water. Just 1 km away from the station.

A small quiet spot amidst residential area. Definitely a must if you are in the area. I will try to visit it in the fall and winter as well, to see how it changes.

Exit from North Exit or you will walk longer distance. It’s amazing that can see water fall in metropolitan areas, and it’s really cool, free of charge.

It was under construction 🚧

First visit! I was surprised to find a kindergarten within the shrine grounds. There's this stone that if it feels heavy when you lift it, your wish might be hard to fulfill, but if it feels light, it's more likely to come true. Overall, it's a shrine surrounded by greenery and it's really soothing.

Very nice shrine with a few Tori Gates and if you walk a bit further into the back then you'll find more inari statues, gates and another smaller shrine.

It was a rainy day, but it puts some specific ambiance in this Shrine. A nice place with specific energy. It gives you smile and you are happy to find it, May the fox be with you. 🦊

A good shrine to visit. It has a long history. This shrine is famous for a forktale or one of the stories in Rakugo, traditional Japanese comic story telling. This shrine was painted in some Ukiyoe. On the New Year's Eve foxes gather to this shrine with mysterious fire. Hiroshige Utagawa painted this story on his Ukiyoe. So they have an walking-in-a-line event after this on New Year's Eve.

A rather big shrine with a kindergarten on it's terrirory. You can sometimes see children helping at work as miko. There are a few smaller shrines at the back part of the territory, one of them has a big stone. You can make a wish and inagine the stone's weight, then lift it. If the stone is lighter than you thought, your wish will come true.

Very cool shrine in a hilly area of Tokyo. Well kept and easy to find.

Nice little Inari Shrine. It has a different feel than most shrines because of the pre-school right down the hill. The sounds of children mix with the wind and birds. Well worth the quiet walk from Oji station. Kita City has a nice neighborhood feel.

Simple, healthy and absolutely delicious meals in a hurry. Matsuya has been my go-to every time I come to Japan. They're consistent and delicious. Such an easy process to purchase food and the food itself never disappoints. 👌

Affordable meal. Food served with quick and delicious. There is no need to interact to order, just order and pay at a kiosk beside the entrance. Also, it has a decent serving.

Staff would not stop coughing while cooking and preparing food. Even with a mask, the mask won't last all day if there is steam from cooking.. I could barely eat my meal after the staff member projectile coughed the entire time preparing it.

Great little spot for a bite to eat. Delicious food, very fast, cheap, and easy if you don't speak Japanese, you order at a little machine which has English. Don't be fooled by the low price and humble look of the set meals, they're very large and filling!

Very tasty food + good price 👌

Food was excellent for the price and much better service that other store of the same chain

Delicious. Quick service. Language barrier is there but easily avoided because you order and pay on a Kiosk. The food was clean and fresh and full of flavor.

A good amount of curry types: Chicken, Fish, Shrimp, Pork, etc... The service is very polite and can speak english in the perfect amount. There is a menu in English. Even been a little expensive, is worth it.

Best place to eat curry rice, regardless it's spicy or not. Awesome place to hang out too. They have a small library of Yu Gi Oh and Naruto manga in Japanese language to read

Very tasty but beware, Japanese spicy is actually spicy

Good place to grab something if you are in a hurry. Not to worry tho you will feel super full with the amount of rice and meat given!

CoCo Ichiban is a chain, and wherever you eat would be the same, but if you want to customize your curry, this is the place to eat!

Excellent service. Staff were able to provide good options in line with friend's dietary requirements.

Very popular curry rice in Tokyo.. about 800 Yen for a tasty curry

The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The service was speedy. Didn't like the appetizer though. Too much cabbage.

The food is excellent and it's a very nice atmosphere. There's parking at the restaurant itself on the ground floor. I would say the only down point about it was the management. A bit scary and not exactly friendly. The same kind of feeling was reflected in the various waiters that came. It was a manager who was a bit off. But if you can get through that you can certainly enjoy a good meal.

Called for takeout. Rude staff. We called at 3:15 pm and the staff on the phone took our order. Only after taking our order the staff on the phone told us that our order would be available at 5PM. What the hell. Please tell us the time before taking our orders. So stupid. 🥴

Good food in a friendly retro atmosphere. We came for lunch during Christmas time and they had a great decorations. Highly recommended for families.

Japanese traditional western food. Hasn't changed the taste for over 30 years. Highly recommend.

It's a dream to be doing party here n hang outs withs frenzs...

(Translated by Google) #Tokyo #Itabashi #Kumano #RestaurantOtani #JumboBurger (Egg) #Rice Personal Rating: ★★★★☆ Price: ¥1,800 + ¥380 (Rice) This Western restaurant has been on my mind for a while. It has a wonderful atmosphere. I came during the weekday lunch hour and it was empty, so I was able to get in right away. The interior has a coffee shop-like feel, with stylish stained-glass windows and a great atmosphere. The staff were also incredibly attentive, quickly refilling the water as it got lower, and providing spoons for families with children to make eating easier. And this time, I ordered the Jumbo Burger (Egg). I chose it from the recommended menu. It was smothered in a slightly sour ketchup-based sauce, and the juicy, satisfying hamburger steak was incredibly satisfying. The miso soup that came with it was also well-seasoned and delicious. By the time we left, it was a popular restaurant that was almost full, even though it was a weekday. (Original) #東京都 #板橋区 #熊野町 #レストランオオタニ #ジャンボバーグ（玉子） #ライス 個人評価★★★★☆ 価格1800円+380円（ライス） ずっと気になってた洋食屋さん。 雰囲気があって素晴らしいお店です。 平日昼間に来たら空いていてすっと入れます。 店内は喫茶店のような感じでステンドガラスの窓はオシャレで雰囲気最高です。 また、店員さんは気配りも素晴らしく水が減るとすぐ入れてくれたり、子連れの方にはフォークだけじゃなくて食べやすいようにとスプーンを渡したりしてました。 そして今回注文したのはジャンボバーグ（玉子） おすすめメニューからチョイス。 少し酸味が強いケチャップベースのソース、がかかっており、肉汁がすごく食べ応えも待ってんなハンバーグです。 一緒に出てくる味噌汁もしっかり出汁が取られてて、美味しいお味噌でした。 店を出る頃には平日にも関わらず、ほぼ満席になってる人気店でした。

The food is always delicious and the service is really good but the restaurant feels abandoned as there's almost no one inside everything me I go there. It would be an awesome place to have a big party or event though. The only problem is the same as in America. It's quite expensive.

The food is delicious but the lobster is really expensive if you want to eat there its better to eat at lunch time because they have lunch menu. It cost 3000yen+ you can eat a small lobster and combo with burger or chicken

My husband loves seafood Well.. good dine service My kids enjoyed the place

It’s just a famous, experience restaurants in Tokyo, sea food , pasta , drinks and etc but I don’t recommend it to any one go Saizerya or gastu because at the end it’s Fast good

As someone from Maine who is used to fresh lobster and has been to the occasional Red Lobster in the States, I'm confused why the prices are so high for dishes on par with Jonathan's, Denny's, or Cafe Gusto. Save your money, it's basic diner food. Won't be going again.

I like it since it reminds me of home but they didn’t have the cheesy biscuits... whaaatt?!?! Anyways, the food is nice but pricey. Nice dining experience but was surprised to hear cursing in the music playing (American hip hop) which I like but inappropriate for kids (that understand English).

Four menus is too many to be presented with at lunchtime. The food was tasty, bit I was not happy with the portion sizes (very very small) and I was concerned at, how quick my food arrived, it made me think that it was all just reheated.
