Good to know
- Sunshine Aquarium sits on the roof of Sunshine City, with penguins that seem to fly over the city.
- Ikebukuro Station's east and west sides are confusing. Seibu is on the east side, Tobu on the west.
- The Toden Arakawa Line, Tokyo's last streetcar line, stops in Zoshigaya and Otsuka.
