Toshima is a ward in northern Tokyo rather than a separate city, centred on Ikebukuro, one of the city's largest transport and commercial hubs. It is dense and mixed, with quieter residential streets beyond the station area.
Ikebukuro's Sunshine City complex holds an aquarium, planetarium and observation deck, and Otome Road nearby is the centre of Tokyo's anime and manga culture aimed at a female audience, a genuine counterpart to Akihabara. The Zōshigaya cemetery holds the graves of several major writers, and a surviving streetcar line runs through the ward.
Ikebukuro station is served by many lines and reaches the rest of Tokyo quickly. The ward is walkable around the station, and the old streetcar is a pleasant way to see the quieter parts.
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable. Summers are hot and humid, and winters are cold but dry and clear.
Japan uses the JPY, calling code +81.
Japan uses the yen, and Japanese is the everyday language with some English around Ikebukuro. Quiet courtesy is expected, and tipping is not practised.
