Posted by: Victor Have you ever thought about why Ikebukuro is called Ikebukuro??? After doing some research, it seems that there are several origins of the name of the place. I am not sure which one is correct, but I'm sure that there are Vitton bags everywhere in Ikebukuro.........'s department stores! hahaha Have you also seen a statue of an owl in the station? It's name is Ikefukuroh(pond owl), which is a cold joke...(￣▽￣;)

This question has come to my mind during the first time I arrived here
The kanji for Ikebukuro literally means 池：pond 袋：bag.
Well, if I found this bag in the pond, i would be very excited! haha
The first is that in the northeastern part of the village there was a lake shaped like someone holding a bag.
The second is that there were once a large number of lakes in the area of various sizes (thus implying a bag full of lakes).
The third is that long ago a turtle came out of the lake carrying a bag on its back.
Ikebukuro--->Ikefukuroh....

A brandnew electrical store, LABI1(Yamada Denki) just opened.
Since my computer is too old, I went there to find a new one.
It was a huuuge shop.
Especially, the computer section is very huge and they have many different types of computer. These years, computer is getting cheaper and cheaper. I found one with at 25,000yen with basic functions. When I got my first computer about 10 years ago, it was about 200,000yen.
