explanation: Initially a quiet village in the west of Tokyo, it has developed quickly after many private and national railroad companies like JR, Tobu and Seibu had chosen Ikebukuro station as their terminus. Administratively belonging to Toshima ward of Tokyo City, it has become, with Shinjuku and Shibuya, one of the 3 most important shopping areas in the west of Tokyo: a great commercial center is settled there at Ikebukuro Sunshine Building.
