Toshima City is an area that combines commercial, cultural, and residential environments centered around Ikebukuro. Large commercial facilities, theaters, and restaurants gather around Ikebukuro Station, creating a lively street where you can enjoy shopping and entertainment. On the other hand, areas like Mejiro and Zoshigaya have calm residential areas where you can live a quiet and comfortable life. In recent years, redevelopment has progressed, and new spots such as Minami Ikebukuro Park and Hareza Ikebukuro have been added. JR, Tokyo Metro, Seibu Line, and Tobu Line pass through it, providing excellent access to major areas in Tokyo. This area is recommended for working adults in their 20s and 30s who are looking for convenience and a diverse lifestyle.

The area around Ikebukuro Station is full of large commercial facilities, restaurants, movie theaters, and more, making life extremely convenient.

In addition, you can use multiple lines including the Yamanote Line, making it convenient to go anywhere in Tokyo. This area is recommended for those looking for a calm living environment while enjoying urban life.
