Durarara Country-Ikebukuro
Really been looking forward to wandering around Ikebukuro ever since I saw the Durarara anime a few months ago. I've been here before and my first and fave ramen place but watching the anime made me really want to see it again. I took a ton of pics but since there is no bulk photo uploading feature on Danny's site I'm only going to put up the better ones. Enjoy!
The morning begins
Love doctors using cute characters of themselves
Best vending machine on earth!
Nice park near my hotel. Seen kids practicing soccer here.
The Major and her friends are looking for these criminals outside a nearby Koban.
Popular new Calpis. Tasted of pineapple. Not bad.
The last streetcar in Tokyo.
First Japanese coffee house of the day, Doutor.
Got my coffee and my first Montblanc. Nice.
Disney characters on drugs, clearly.
Gonna eat here today and found out they use all the characters in the menu. Check out my separate post and vid link.
I was hoping Celty would pop out but no luck.
Words fail me here. Can anyone explain?
Interesting Burger King ad.
My targets in Sunshine 60, Namjatown.
First, my fave ramen place.
This tasted so damn good!!
Inside Namjatown
Time for dessert.
Fans of gyoza will go nuts in here.
Alcoholics section for weird ice creams.
Snake ice cream anyone?
Seafood and ice cream, what a match.
Garlic ice cream for those pesky vampires
Some nice Seattle coffee to finish things off.
Awesome place for Gundam fans.
That's a lot of Gundams.
Dinner time and its gyudon. So good.
0 deaths?. . . what is this for?
previous day traffic accident (Inside Tokyo)
Nice! Needs to stick around for a few more decades. I love trams/streetcars and trolleybuses lol.
Me too. Lucky I caught the old style car as a newer one was going in the other direction. Got some nice vid of it pulling into the station too.
Discount if you try the clothes and let the shopkeeper take pictures ? Was this a cosplay store for female? As expected of Ikebukuro.
No idea but they had several adult posters in this area before.
Looks like they had super spicy ramen XD
Except Dale looks like he just smoked some serious weed. LOL
Lovely photos!
I Durarara!! and would love to visit Ikebukuro some day!
Well worth the effort to come.
I remember drinking stupid amounts of Pocari Sweat while in Japan.
I'm still doing it as its really good for hydrating when you are walking all day.
Looks yummy!
Hows your Japanese holiday so far?
It was yummy too. Holiday is going great and still have 2 1/2 weeks to go. Life is good right now.
WOW!! Wall of Wing goodness! Started Frozen teardrop from Gundam Ace last month.
The old 1/60 Wing Zero!! I would have gladly bought another one just to try and mod it differently than mine. Very nice model for the cheap price! At least, it was when I got it. 2800yen...
Thought you'd like it given your avatar. That store is a must for any Gundam fan.
Awesome pics Logan!! I gotta spend more time in Ikebukuro next time! Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked them and yeah Ikebukuro is a fun place.
Nice photos. I wouldn't mind walking through here. But where are the flying vending machines? :P
Shizuo is on vacation in the US. LOL
Great pictures! Thanks for helping me refresh my memories of Ikebukuro ^^
Thanks, glad to do it as others have done the same for me.
Man that egg looks awesome.
I don't know why ramen places here in the US never get the half-boiled eggs right, they're one of my favorite parts of Ramen in Japan. The eggs at US places are always fully hard-boiled.
They can't get the pork right either and forget the bamboo shoots. Someone put broccoli in mine. YUCK!
Taking a guess at where you ate at. It was either at Matsuya or at Yoshinoya!!! Those two places have great food for a good price!!! God I miss eating there!!!
This was Matsuya but Yoshinoya will get a visit soon too.
Oh very cool pictures, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome.
Hahaha. Now that's a hamburger name!
They do have a way with words here. LOL
This reminds me of D.N. Angel :D
wow this is SO cool!
My fave in Namjatown.
He wants to take photo's of you in your underwear?! Oh my~
Helluva thing to do to get a discount.
Instructor?! You pit me against to Rajans ! :(
