The department store is directly connected to Ikebukuro Station, so it's super convenient whether you're taking the subway or JR lines.

Hiroshima PARCO
Hiroshima PARCO is the go-to destination for the latest fashion in Japan’s Chugoku-Shikoku region. Complete with two buildings and 150 stores inside, this coveted hub along the busy shopping streets of Hondori and Namiki-dori is one of the largest retailers that always packs a punch.
The location is super convenient, right in the city center. After shopping, you can easily head over to Hondori Shopping Street. The layout is great and easy to navigate—not a maze at all.

Shirakawa-go Light-up Event
Located in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed gassho-zukuri village of Shirakawa-go, this event, held on specific days in January and February, draws large crowds annually. The sight of the iconic, thatched triangular roofs of the gassho-style houses blanketed in snow, illuminated against the night, evokes a fairy-tale-like look and feel.
The light-up event only happens a few times a year, so being able to see it in person is really special. I feel super lucky!
