The Seibu Department Store in Ikebukuro, which I introduced in the video, is currently undergoing partial renovations. Consequently, Karukaya, the udon restaurant I mentioned in the video, has closed down. I really wanted everyone to try that delicious udon, but unfortunately, it’s no longer available.
@@Sam_0108Hi Sam-san, or should I say Frieren-sama? I'm sorry it took me so long to notice your comment and reply to you. It's really unfortunate about that udon restaurant, but there are plenty of other great places to eat in Ikebukuro that you can try. If you like udon, I recommend "Musashino Enza," located in Shakujii Park, which is about a 10-minute train ride from Ikebukuro. This restaurant is ranked among the top 100 udon restaurants in Japan and is very delicious! If you're interested, please give it a try.😉😉 tabelog.com/tokyo/A1321/A132103/13022818/

Japan is such a country for the senses! No matter where you go, your senses will be used and excited in ways you didn't know possible. I can't wait to go back!

Hi😁張烜-san👋Thank you so much for watching the video and for your kind comment! Ikebukuro is often seen as a shopping town, but it actually has some beautiful places worth exploring. For me, it's one of my favorite cities.😘 I hope the video provided you with a new perspective and inspired you for your next visit🚌

It’s so hot right now, I feel like I’m going to melt. 🍦🤣Ikebukuro is evolving too, with the Seibu Department Store under renovations and a new game center that has already opened, so I’m sure you’ll see a new Ikebukuro when you come back！
KonnichiwaJG 7171-sanThanks for watching my video. A few weeks ago, I also visited Ikebukuro several times! Perhaps we might have met.😁 By the way, I watched the video you posted here on RUclips. What a lovely Christmas village you have! Is the bigger train possibly a Japanese toy PLAREIL?
@@GetToKnowJapanTogether Perhaps we did . I was there for two weeks . But i did move around the country a bit . I love visiting Japan . Thanks for your comment on my Christmas train . No , thats just a standard American HO scale model train . I do plan on getting a short N scale ( the smaller train ) Yamanote line to run on it sometimes though .
Hi. Sorry for the delayed response. I thought I had already replied, but it seems I forgot to press the send button.😅 It’s wonderful to imagine running the Yamanote Line through your Christmas village; it’s perfect since the Yamanote Line’s symbolic color is green. Please visit Ikebukuro (maybe Bic Camera?) again to get the N scale Yamanote Line 😆.

if you don't mind , please mention Bakudan-yaki Honpo Ikebukuro next time, Since I visited Tokyo June 2017, I had been dreaming to have the giant takoyakis again.
CM Chang-san! Kon-nichiwa! Indeed!! Bakudan-yaki is so delicious! I love the ones with mentaiko filling. I'm not sure when I'll make a video about Ikebukuro next, but when I do, I'll film bakudan-yaki!😆😆
Ok, I was impressed by the former girls school designed by Frank Lloyd Wright! Stunning! And it's sad to say, many of his buildings here in the states are falling into disrepair. So it's very nice to see it in such wonderful shape! And not only that, but he designed the hotel as well. Amazing. As always, thanks so much for the wonderful videos you share with us
