The troupe Daidengaku, led by Manzo Nomura, invites you to the world of emaki through lively dance with brightly colored costumes. Among the over 150 performers are cosplayers too! On an autumn night, light and shadows weave together a fantastical performance that cannot be missed! Aside from the main grounds at Minami Ikebukuro Park, the procession down Green Boulevard is also worth seeing. Be sure to check it out!

“Kailaku” is a restaurant famous for its jumbo dumplings and can be found near the Seibu Department Store at Ikebukuro Station’s East Exit. With its juicy meat and chewy dough, you’ll be hooked after one bite! Their dumplings sold over-the-counter as presents are extremely popular, too! The interior has a welcoming atmosphere even for women dining alone. The second floor has private rooms (available for reservation) for dumpling parties with friends! This is a restaurant that will leave you satisfied not only with the taste but also the cost-performance.
