    Where to stay

    Neighborhood guide

    Meguro is a ward in southwestern Tokyo rather than a separate city, largely residential and comfortably off. Nakameguro along the canal and Jiyugaoka in the south are its best-known quarters, both known for small shops and cafés.

    What to see

    Timed to the light

    The Meguro river through Nakameguro is lined with cherry trees and is among Tokyo's most popular blossom spots, illuminated in the evening during the season. The Institute of Parasitology holds a small and genuinely startling museum, and Jiyugaoka's boutiques and bakeries are a pleasant afternoon.
