Directly connected to Ikebukuro Station, the rooftop space transforms into an Asian night market.

Ikebukuro Tropical Night Market is located on the 16th-floor rooftop of the Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro Main Branch at 1-1-25 Nishi-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo, about a 1 minute walk from Ikebukuro Station. You can take the elevator directly to the rooftop from the 1st floor, Basement 1, Area 1. In case of rain, some seats under eaves or inside tents are available; however, since it is an outdoor operation, it may be closed or have adjusted business hours during severe weather.

The venue is designed with Chinese lanterns, neon lights, and an Asian night market vibe, making it different from the atmosphere of a typical department store restaurant floor. The maximum capacity is 80 tables and 320 seats, with an average budget of about 4,500 yen. Reservations are recommended for weekends, after-work hours, or groups; walk-ins are also welcome, but you are more likely to wait during peak hours.

For the main course, you can choose between grilled meat or spicy hot pot, and all set meals come with a night market food stall voucher.

The meal options are divided into the "Tropical Night Market Yakiniku Set" and "Spicy Hot Pot Set." The yakiniku category includes the Pork Belly Set, Standard Set, and Domestic Beef Set, which requires a reservation 3 days in advance. The spicy hot pot offers a Pork Set and a Beef Set. Each main set includes two night market stall vouchers, which can be used to redeem night market food items or games such as Braised Pork Rice, Giant Fried Chicken Cutlet, Bubble Milk Tea, and Taiwanese Golf BINGO.

As for the prices, the pork belly set includes a 120-minute soft drink bar for 3,980 yen, an all-you-can-drink alcohol and soft drink option for 4,980 yen, children for 2,490 yen, free for children under 3, and food only for 2,980 yen. The standard set is 4,480 yen with soft drinks, 5,480 yen with all-you-can-drink, 2,740 yen for children, and 3,480 yen for food only. The domestic beef set is 6,480 yen with soft drinks, 7,480 yen with all-you-can-drink, 3,740 yen for children, and 5,480 yen for food only.

The spicy hot pot pork set includes pork, chicken, and a vegetable platter, priced at 4,480 yen with non-alcoholic all-you-can-drink, 5,480 yen with full all-you-can-drink, 2,740 yen for children, and 3,480 yen for food only.

If you just want to experience the night market atmosphere without eating a full yakiniku or hot pot meal, you can also choose the night market stall combo, which includes 3 night market stall tickets and 120 minutes of all-you-can-drink beverages. The non-alcoholic all-you-can-drink is 2,880 yen, the full-drink all-you-can-drink is 3,880 yen, children are 1,940 yen, and children under 3 are free. For those who have already had dinner and just want to go to the rooftop to drink and eat small snacks, this plan is lighter.

How to plan an Ikebukuro itinerary?

The Ikebukuro Tropical Night Market is best placed at the end of an Ikebukuro shopping day. Spending the day shopping at Sunshine City, Animate Ikebukuro flagship store, department stores, and drugstores, and then heading to the roof of the Tobu Department Store for dinner in the evening makes for a very simple route. If someone in your group does not drink alcohol, they can also join the non-alcoholic all-you-can-drink plan.

The charm here is not the recreation of an authentic Taiwanese night market, but rather a combination of an Asian night market, a beer garden, and a Tokyo department store rooftop into a convenient summer night gathering spot. Since it is only open until September 30, anyone planning to visit after August 20 is advised to make reservations early, especially on weekends and fine weather evenings when seating requires extra attention.
