Ikebukuro is a commercial district in Tokyo. The Ikebukuro station handles over a million passengers a day, which makes it the second busiest railway station surpassed only by Shinjuku station.
Locals of Ikebukuro likes to toy with the alternative meaning of the similar word fukurou which means owl. Because of this, you’ll find owl statues and items all around the place.
I met this little guy, and quite enjoyed being so close to an owl. Im not sure the owls like being petted though.
