The road leading from the east exit of Ikebukuro Station towards Animate and TOHO Cinemas is called Sunshine Street.

Look for the monument with musical notes that says "Toshima Mirai e no Uta" (To the Future of Toshima).
It's a plaza with a brick-paved walkway where you can sit down.

There are also places to sit around the plants.
It always seems to be crowded, so it might not be the most relaxing spot.

However, it's a convenient spot to remember if you need to meet someone or just want a quick break, or a place to eat your takeout.
So, why not give these rest areas a try when you're around Ikebukuro Station?
