Visit Tokyo: NamjaTown

In Sunshine City in Ikebukuro you'll find NamjaTown, an indoor theme park that offers all sorts of games, attractions, and food.

There is an entrance fee (500 yen / adult; 300 yen /child), and if you show your international passport, you get a 50 yen per person discount.

NamjaTown is divided into three towns - Dokkingham Plaza, which offers a variety of games, Showa, which offers food and shopping, and Mononoke, which offers even more games and attractions.

I, however, was only interested in visiting NamjaTown for one reason, and one reason only - Fukubukoro Dessert Yokocho!

It was a sweets-lovers dream, as the cutest desserts were offered at a variety of venues.

Patisserie Cute - Cake

Ice Shop - Tamago (Egg) Ice Cream, Dekopon (Orange) Sherbet, Kokutou (Brown Sugar) Ice Cream, Banana Milk Ice Cream, Blue Salt Ice Cream, Amaou (Strawberries) Ice Cream

Crepe Shop - Panda Crepe

In NamjaTown you'll also find Gyoza Stadium, from where we picked up a variety of gyoza and other savory eats, including the best fried chicken I've eaten on the trip (and perhaps almost anywhere!).

Hokkai Tokachi - Gyoza

Hokkai  Tokachi - Fried Chicken Bowl

Hokkai Tokachi - Potatoes

Paou - Gyo-Tonpou

Paou - Sausage

Maruman - Round Gyoza 

Despite the numerous eateries, there is a very limited number of places to sit. There is one general seating area, but you really have to hunt down places to sit in all the different little "alleys" and rooms throughout NamjaTown.

We didn't participate in any of the games or activities, but we were satisfied with all of the yummy eats!
