NAMJATOWN: Ikebukuro's Theme Park of Magical Worlds, Scary Houses, and Delicious Gyoza

What could be better than eating delicious gyoza and loads of desserts all in one place? If it’s a place run by a cat and surrounded by attractions! NAMJATOWN is an indoor theme park located inside Ikebukuro Sunshine City, an enormous complex that houses a shopping mall and other attractions such as a museum, an aquarium, and a planetarium. NAMJATOWN is on the second floor.

Between the exciting attractions, their famous gyoza (over 10 different styles!), and copious desserts (over 30 different flavors of ice cream), there’s never a dull moment at NAMJATOWN. The park welcomes couples, families, and everyone else who wants to eat, play, or do both!
There are three towns within the park, each with its own theme and rides.

Pay your 500 yen entrance fee and go inside, where you will be greeted by a cat named Najavu. The cat will say, “Namjara!” meaning, “Welcome!” Don’t be afraid, this cat is said to bring luck to you when you meet it. Make sure to go shake hands and take a picture with him!
