#Spring0yentrip Tasakaya in Ikebukuro was selected for the first time in this year's Tabelog Top 100 Restaurants🍜 This is a miso ramen restaurant, and there is always a line outside! The turnover is fast, so I lined up and was called in about 10 minutes. I bought a meal ticket and sat down. There are only counter seats. The staff are very friendly and it's a comfortable place☺️ My companion and I ordered one each of miso char siu noodles and spicy miso with egg, and compared the taste🙌🏻 The spicy miso was rich but not too heavy, and it was more delicious than it looked!! The bean sprouts were crisp and chewy, and it was refreshing to eat😍 The regular miso soup had a strong garlic flavor, and this one was also thick and rich, but it was easy to eat🫶🏻 Both were back fat-based. It's close to the station, so I'd like to go again 😽 📍Address: Felice Nishiikebukuro 1F, 3-30-2 Nishiikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo #Gourmet trip #Tokyo sightseeing #Ramen

It is located in front of the Ikebukuro West Exit station. It was reborn as a new theater park "GLOBAL RING" in 2019. There is no longer any of the dangerous image of Ikebukuro in the past, and it is a very clean square with an outdoor stage and stylish cafes. There is also a fountain, and many parents and children visit during the day, making it a very peaceful space. Looking up, there is a ring-shaped object that can be enjoyed artistically. There are also lights at night, and the illuminations are beautiful during the Christmas season. Various events are held on weekends, and it is crowded with many people. #Sakura2024 #IkebukuroWestExitPark

Good

An outdoor theater in front of the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre. It has state-of-the-art acoustics and frequently hosts concerts by first-class musicians. The lighting is very beautiful. There is also a large screen overhead, so you can enjoy it. When there are no concerts, it becomes a wonderful fountain and is very popular with children. The illuminations are wonderful and make for great photos!
