Meguro is a residential ward located in the south-west of central Tokyo. Well-known for its upper-class residential areas, Meguro has a good mix of greenery and convenience, with supermarkets and trendy dining concentrated around station fronts. With its European-style shopping streets, picturesque gardens and parks, it’s no surprise Meguro is touted as one of the most livable areas of Tokyo.

During the spring season, Meguro River, which flows inbetween Daikanyama and Nakameguro stations, is one of the most popular hanami spots in Tokyo.

The north-eastern districts of Meguro, such as Meguro, Nakameguro, and Komaba, allow immediate access to Shibuya station, one of Tokyo’s largest transport hubs. Although commonly thought to be part of Meguro ward, Meguro station is actually located in Shinagawa ward. Recent redevelopments of this area have not only focused on bringing back nature, but also attracting more businesses such as Amazon Japan.

Just a few minutes away toward the center of Meguro you will find Yutenji and Gagukeidaigaku, which are popular for their relaxed atmosphere. The southwestern districts of the ward and just 13 minutes from Shibuya lies Jiyugaoka – a trendy neighborhood filled with stylish cafes and designer boutiques.

If you like quiet neighborhoods with a bit of nature, while having easy access to anywhere in Tokyo, the Meguro area is what you're looking for.

Popular stations in the Meguro area include Meguro, Nakameguro, Yutenji, and Jiyugaoka.
