NAKAMEGURO

Do you like rivers? Perhaps cafes or boutique stores are more your thing? Add in hole-in-the-wall (or under-the-rail-way) bars and restaurants and you’ve got Nakameguro. This hip Tokyo suburb is only a few stops from Shibuya and neighbours the equally popular Daikanyama and Ebisu. While busy year-round, Nakameguro really comes alive in Spring. The cherry blossom viewing along the Meguro River is indeed a sight to behold. It’s also home to the world’s largest Starbucks—perfect for a take-away coffee stroll. That’s if you don’t mind queueing! If you’re looking for a place to see and be seen, this is it. So, check out our top picks of things to do in Nakameguro.
