[2025 Tokyo Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for TOBU DEPARTMENT STORE(IKEBUKURO) (Updated Jun)

Seasonal menu of famous fruit shop "Takano" □Takano Fruit Parlor Ikebukuro Tobu Store 📍Ikebukuro, Tokyo I came to Takano Fruit Parlor, located on the second floor cosmetics floor of Tobu Department Store, directly connected to Ikebukuro Station, to eat the melon seasonal menu. I visited the store just after 3pm on a Sunday, and there was no line, so it seemed relatively empty compared to the main store in Shinjuku. Muskmelon and red-fleshed melon parfait Muskmelon shortcake (with coffee/tea) Takano's muskmelon is delicious any time of year, but it felt even more delicious during the season. The parfait was great, not only with melon, but also with melon & vanilla ice cream and mascarpone cream. The muskmelon shortcake had a light dough and the fresh cream was elegantly sweet, and went well with the melon. The melon seasonal menu is only available until June, so if you like melon, be sure to visit during June! #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Tokyo #Ikebukuro #Cafe #Melon 📍Address: 2F Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro, 1-1-25 Nishiikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo 171-8512

[Ikebukuro: A hotel where you can play the piano and a morning walk to Jiyu Gakuen Myonichikan] After staying at Otomari Ikebukuro on a winter day before Christmas, I visited the nearby Jiyu Gakuen Myonichikan in the morning. Records of the educational curriculum that values ​​the seven liberal arts subjects, which fosters rare creativity and active problem-solving skills in this country, were on display. During the Taisho era, when this private educational institution was founded, there was Taisho democracy, the rise of the women's suffrage movement, and women's participation in society through employment in cities, and efforts were made to improve the social infrastructure. There was also the Great Kanto Earthquake, and it was a short period of peace in which the people were allowed a little joy, excitement, and economic growth between the two world wars. The enthusiasm of the teachers at that time was conveyed. 🏛️Jiyū Gakuen Myōnichikan designed by American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. 🕰️Opening hours: 10AM–4PM (check the official website calendar for monthly details) 📍Location: 2 Chome-31-3 Nishiikebukuro, Toshima City, Tokyo 171-0021 What impressed me most was the auditorium with light pouring in from the windows on one side, the Hebrew frescoes created by the students at the time, the hexagonal chairs, the fireplace, the heavy flooring, and the warm atmosphere of the dining room. 『Architecture | Myōnichikan Jiyū Gakuen Myōnichikan was built in 1921 (April 15, Taisho 10) as a school building for Jiyū Gakuen, founded by the couple Hani Motoko and Yoshikazu, and was designed by the American master Frank Lloyd Wright. It was Endo Arata who recommended Wright to the Hani couple for the construction of Myōnichikan. Endo, who worked as an assistant to Wright, who had come to Japan to design the Imperial Hotel, introduced his friend Hani and his wife to Wright. Wright, who resonated with the couple's educational philosophy, designed Jiyu Gakuen based on their desire to "fill a simple exterior with excellent thoughts." ' From the official website 'Before visiting: Request for cooperation in viewing manners Jiyu Gakuen Myonichikan is a building that will be carefully protected for the future as an important cultural property of the country.

#100 Ways to Travel #IkebukuroFood #GinzaTenryu Food Guide Store name: Ginza Tianlong Address: 12th floor of Tobu Department Store, Ikebukuro Facilities: 2-person and 4-person seats are available, and single person seats are also available Features: "Ginza Tenryu" was founded in 1949 and has been providing a variety of Chinese cuisine, centered on Beijing cuisine. Its signature menu item is the "roasted dumplings" which are large and juicy. There are many delicious foods around Ikebukuro Station. After buying souvenirs at Tobu Department Store B1, I took the elevator directly to the 12th floor. Looking at the giant gyoza model in the window made me salivate. The weekday lunch limited set meal is affordable and includes dumplings, rice, side dishes and soup, and is very popular among office workers. I ordered a special of 6 fried dumplings, which cost only ￥1,260. The freshly fried dumplings have a crispy and chewy outer skin and juicy and hot fillings. They do not contain leeks or garlic, so office workers don't have to worry about breath odor. Price per person: ￥1260 Rating: 3.5 (out of 5)

It is located on the first basement floor of Tobu Department Store at the west exit of Ikebukuro. The soft serve ice cream specialty store "MINI SOF" offers a variety of soft serve ice creams, including "eat" and "drink" ice creams, based on "Hokkaido Vanilla," a soft serve ice cream made with raw milk and fresh cream from Hokkaido. There is an eat-in space, but it is not very large with only three two-person tables and six counter seats, and it is always full. Orders are made using a touch panel. Only cash is accepted on the touch panel, but other payment methods are available if you ask the staff. The taste is very delicious. I ordered the seasonal limited edition Kaga bar roasted green tea and crispy white chocolate soft serve, and the crispy white chocolate covering the roasted green tea mix soft serve was very delicious! It seems that you can customize the toppings and sauces to your liking. #Sakura2024 #MINI SOF
