How many hours should I allow for anime shopping in Ikebukuro?
A few stores can be visited in two to three hours, while half a day is better for exploring the Otome Road area. These are planning estimates: the time needed varies with the number of stores, crowds and how long you spend comparing items. Estimate time inside multistory stores separately from walking between shops around Otome Road. If you also want a meal or general shopping, reserve time for those before filling the day with anime stores.
