Sunshine City
Sunshine City is Ikebukuro's own "city within a city". The complex offers living, work, shopping, and entertainment all on its large grounds. Sunshine City is located in East Ikebukuro, near Ikebukuro Station. There are four main buildings that make up Sunshine City: Sunshine 60, Prince Hotel, World Import Mart, and Bunka Kaikan.
Notice
Sky Circus closed until Spring 2023.
Sunshine 60 is the main building of Sunshine City and houses Ikebukuro's own observatory called Sky Circus. Other Sunshine City attractions include Sunshine Aquarium, a planetarium, an Ancient Orient Museum featuring Greco-Buddhist artworks, a Namco-run amusement center, as well as other minor attractions. The lower floors of Sunshine City cater to shoppers and sightseers, while the upper floors are reserved for office workers and hotel guests.
