Things to do in Ikebukuro

The Making of Harry Potter was such a fun and amazing experience! It was exciting to see the sets, costumes, and props up close and learn more about how the movies were made. There was so much to see, and every part was interesting. Definitely worth visiting, especially for Harry Potter fans!

The cafe was so cute. The pigs were so friendly and cuddly. Overall, it was a really cute and comforting experience.

I did this experience back in 2017 and decided to take my younger siblings! They (16M & 19F) loved it! Although the maids spoke mostly Japanese, that didn't stop us from conversing and having a great time. We used Google Translate to talk to Ami-Chan and Ramonette-Chan, they were super friendly and awesome. We all ordered the drink set which came with a drink of our choice (non-alcoholic) and a dessert. The coffee based drinks we ordered came with a customization where we could tell them what to draw on our latte! Everything was really yummy and the maids were super awesome. We all had an amazing time and would recommend. We had reservations at 2pm and it wasn't busy. There was maybe two other tables besides us there.

We had a great time! The teacher was really knowledgeable and helpful. Note the dojo itself doesn't have a sign on the street so just follow the instructions on the confirmation.

It was such a fun experience! There were two performances, and in between, we could chat with the girls, who were super friendly and gave us great recommendations for local spots.

Fun experience for kids and adults. Use ink tools and screen tones and either trace an image or make your own. Friendly staff, totally English-okay (and of course Japanese-okay).
