Tobu Department Store is located on top of the west exit of Ikebukuro Station; it is one of Tokyo's largest department stores. It belongs to the Tobu Group, which also operates several suburban railway lines, including the Tobu Tojo Line which terminates at Ikebukuro Station.

The 2-floor is the food department at Tobu. Tobu generates 20% of its annual revenue through its food and dining operations - not difficult to believe if you check out the vast array of items available there

Seibu and Tobu department stores are the two largest department stores in the world. They are constantly being added on to. A few years ago Seibu on the east side of the tracks was the biggest. Then for competitive purposes, Tobu, on the west side of the tracks, added an extra 8 or 9 floors onto a section of its store making it the biggest in the world. The stores are quite massive. Each one dominates the entire area around the station and the skyline, besides the Sunshine 60 building. The stores are basically cities in a building. The goal of each store is to carry the widest assortment of goods possible. This means you can find literally anything at one of these stores, making them a great place to shop, but sometimes the price is a bit too high.
