    When I traveled on a tight budget as a student, I would always stay at a guesthouse near Ikebukuro's west exit. Every day when I went out, I often passed through the lively Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park, and I still miss those familiar street scenes. Before heading back to the guesthouse, I would also make a point of stopping by a nearby standing noodle shop for a steaming bowl of soba. It was inexpensive, tasted pretty good, and offered great value for the money.
