This time to the north of Shinjuku only 3 stops on the Yamanote Line I visited Ikebukuro.

I walked a little bit around until I went into Sunshine City to look at some shops inside. I saw a lot of western people lining up to buy Pokemon merch and I browsed a bookshop for a while.

After some sushi from Kura Sushi I walked some more and found some really quiet streets and a really nice buddhist temple. I enjoy the stillness of these places.
