Big Box Takadanobaba night view

Mon, July 2, 2012, by Muza-chan

The Takadanobaba neighborhood is renowned in Tokyo for its ramen restaurants and inexpensive izakaya, frequented by the many students accommodated in the area.

When you come to Takadanobaba, the first thing you will notice is the huge Big Box, a commercial building looking exactly like the name suggests: a 9-story tall box, beautifully lit at night time. I stayed in Takadanobaba for almost two weeks, so I visited it as soon as I arrived: shops, restaurants, bowling and gaming arcades… But what’s nice is that in the evening, there’s always a large crowd of students meeting in the small park in front of it. It reminded me of my student days…
