Visit Japan Web Nakameguro
Visit Japan Web invites you to explore Nakameguro. It is located along the Meguro River and conveniently situated within walking distance of the fashionable neighborhoods of Daikanyama and Ebisu. It boasts a variety of trendy cafes and restaurants, stylish interior and accessory shops. There’s also the Nakameguro Koukashita—a 700-meter stretch of bars and stores anchored by the modern Nakameguro Tsutaya Books bookstore. Nakameguro remains a lively hub of cultural sophistication year-round. The crowds peaks in late March and early April as the densely clustered cherry trees along the riverside bud and blossom.
The Meguro Riverbank is the prime spot for sightseeing in Meguro. It adds a touch of European charm to the area. However, the traditional storefronts and izakayas in the suburbs still retain a distinct Japanese style. The riverbanks are lined with various boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. Many of the riverside cafes offer beautiful views from their outdoor terraces, perfect for watching passersby. The allure of strolling along the river increases significantly during the cherry blossom season in spring. Almost every tree along the river is in full bloom, creating a tunnel of cherry blossoms over the water. In the evening, the Meguro River enters its peak during the Hanami festival. Lanterns illuminate the trees, and the whole river becomes lively with festival cheers. If the crowds become overwhelming, simply take a stroll down the side streets to savor some artisan coffee or craft beer.
As a playground for young trendsetters, artists, and fashion enthusiasts, Meguro is renowned as one of Tokyo’s most stylish shopping and dining districts. Strolling along the main thoroughfare, you’ll encounter stylishly designed stores, avant-garde fashion retailers, independent galleries, and romantic restaurants.
