Tokyo has a well-developed transportation network 

centered around railways, but we often hear people say, 

"The lines are so complicated and I am confused," 

and "When looking for a place to live, 

I don't know which line, station, or area to look for."

 

Therefore, we summarize and introduce lines 

and areas that are convenient for transfer, 

have relatively good living environments,

and we can recommend surely.

 

In this article, we'll introduce the Seibu Ikebukuro Line, 

which runs from Ikebukuro to western Tokyo and Saitama,

and the Dormy dormitories along that line.

 

 

 

What is the Seibu Ikebukuro Line?

 

This line runs from Ikebukuro, 

one of Tokyo's subcenters,

to Nerima-ku, Nishitokyo city, and Tokorozawa city.

 

Direct trains also run to the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and 

Fukutoshin Line, and you can go to Iidabashi, 

Ichigaya, Ginza, Nishi-Waseda, Shinjuku, Shibuya, 

and Yokohama without transferring, 

which means to make it 

an easy route to commute to many universities

 and technical schools.

 

 

Because there are direct trains, 

the line is characterized by a very high number of trains.

This line is popular among many people, 

and there are plenty of stores such as supermarkets 

and there is a shopping street in front of each station, 

though, since it is not a crowded downtown area, 

you can find a quiet living environment

 if you go a little away from the station.

From the below, 

we will introduce each recommended station 

and recommended Dormy.

●The travel time in ( ) for each station is an estimate. 

It may vary slightly depending on the time of day, train, and transfer.
