ikebukuro

I would like to think of Ikebukuro being Shinjuku's little cousin, for they both gave me a very similar impression. Shinjuku was way happening but Ikebukuro was the stage for DRRR!! and I had no reason to not visit just to check it out. 

Like really, I hated this train. It was forever crowded especially when I try to get on in Harajuku.

I originally wanted to try out this famous Mutekiya ramen but immediately backed off when I saw the queue. Come on guys, it was 3pm on a Sunday! (We went for another ramen place instead)

And also got ourselves a taiyaki.

Night falls really early in winter. We went into a bookstore, got myself more stationary and cleaned my glasses on the way out.
