Sunshine 60 Street — Ikebukuro Station Side
About the Sunshine 60 Street — Ikebukuro Station Side Camera
Sunshine 60 Street runs from the east side of Ikebukuro Station toward Sunshine City, and this camera watches the stretch nearer the station where foot traffic is heaviest.
The street is named after the Sunshine 60 tower at its far end, a 239-metre building completed in 1978 that was the tallest in Asia when it opened. The walk between station and tower takes only a few minutes, and the shops along it lean young — fast food, game arcades, drugstores and clothing.
Ikebukuro is one of Tokyo's three big northwest terminals alongside Shinjuku and Shibuya, and it handles enormous numbers of commuters. The rhythm here is legible: quiet mid-morning, steady through the afternoon, and dense from early evening as people come out of the station.
