Exploring Nakameguro: Tokyo’s Trendy Riverside Gem
Useful Links:
A Stylish Urban Escape
Nestled along the Meguro River, Nakameguro blends sophistication with a laid-back vibe. Just steps from Daikanyama and Ebisu, this district boasts trendy cafes, chic restaurants, and unique shops selling stylish accessories and home decor. A highlight is the Nakameguro Koukashita, a 700-meter stretch of bars and boutiques beneath the train tracks, anchored by the sleek Nakameguro Tsutaya Books.
Cherry Blossoms Along the Meguro River
From late March to early April, the Meguro River transforms into a stunning cherry blossom corridor. The trees form a pink canopy, attracting visitors who enjoy stalls offering snacks and drinks. For a quieter experience, book a Hanami Cruise from Tennozu Isle’s Yamatsu Pier, gliding through the blossoms by day or under lights at night. In summer, the lush green foliage provides a cool retreat.
Starbucks Reserve® Roastery Tokyo
The Starbucks Reserve® Roastery Tokyo in Nakameguro, one of only six worldwide, is a masterpiece by architect Kengo Kuma. This multi-level spot features a roastery, cocktail bar, tea lounge, bakery, and cafe. Its outdoor terrace offers prime views of the cherry blossoms, making it a must-visit for coffee lovers and design enthusiasts alike.
