Exploring Animate Ikebukuro Main Store in Tokyo, Japan

#TopPlacesToVisitMarch2025
The Ikebukuro Main Store is Japan's largest Animate flagship, a full 9-story anime world, featuring everything from manga, light novels, CDs, BDs, to character merchandise, itabag accessories, and exclusive bonuses—super comprehensive! Each floor has a different theme, and there’s even an entire floor dedicated to an exhibition space that will make you scream with excitement. When I visited, there was also a BL section, with all kinds of special bonuses and limited edition products that almost made me lose my mind.

PS. It gets very crowded during peak hours, so remember to go early for a better shopping experience. The checkout lines are long, and if you want to get a tax refund, you might have to wait for a while.
