Indoor play
Namjatown
ナンジャタウン
Ikebukuro · near Higashi-Ikebukuro Station (Yurakucho Line), ~3 min; or Ikebukuro Station, ~8 min walk
Bandai Namco's indoor theme park with retro-Showa themed streets, attraction games, spooky/mystery-solving areas, a cat-themed 'Nyanjatown' zone, and famous food streets — a Gyoza Stadium and a dessert alley.
Why children love it: Quirky game-based attractions, a fun retro-town atmosphere, treasure/stamp-hunt style play, and lots of themed snacks and character food.
Honest drawbacks: Attractions are game/skill stalls rather than rides; a fair amount is Japanese-text based; smaller and older-feeling than big theme parks; food areas can be the main draw.
