Primarily a residential area, the Meguro ward is also home to some of the most beautiful spaces in Tokyo. The Meguro River is named for this special ward, and this postcode is well-loved by residents and visitors alike for its small, trendy restaurants and picturesque neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

This is a wonderful place for those looking for an oasis of refinement with an enviable postcode and chic personality.<\/p>\n

Why is Meguro a good place to live in Tokyo?<\/h2>\n

With 15 embassies located throughout the ward, the Meguro area is one of the most foreigner-friendly parts of Tokyo. Westerners have been in this area for some time, meaning most foreigners won\u2019t even get a second glance– a balm for sometimes isolating and othering city.<\/p>\n

This is also a very safe area of Tokyo, and with Komaba Park also located in Meguro City, there\u2019s lots of space for kids to frolic. There are often kids sports meetings throughout the park, with options like cricket, tennis, and soccer.<\/p>\n

In addition, its location right at the border of central Tokyo means it\u2019s close enough to party in Shibuya all night and still pay less than 2000 yen for a taxi home.<\/p>\n

Meguro is beautiful any time of year, but cherry blossom season is where it really shines. Thousands flock to the river to see the beautiful blossoms hanging over the stone walls, with the gentle trickle of the river below.<\/p>\n

The streets are lined with paper lanterns, making this a top spot for photos and romantic walks even deep into the night.<\/p>\n

While a little lesser-known, there are several excellent art museums hidden throughout the ward, including the Photographic Art Museum<\/a>, Folk Art and Craft Museum<\/a>, and Parasitological museum<\/a>. The Meguro Sky Garden<\/a> is also a popular date spot for tourists and Japanese alike.<\/p>\n

This area has some really stunning small bars, restaurants and cafes. Take a stroll down the river path in Naka-meguro and find a plethora of options. With lots of Western and foreign influences, some of the top bistros in Japan are along this stretch of road. The most decorated pizza chef in Japan also has his restaurant home in Naka-meguro.<\/p>\n

Small boutiques are the most common in Meguro. This is a health-conscious, sophisticated area that relies on quiet elegance to further its reputation in a uniquely Japanese fashion.<\/p>\n

While not an area for those looking to be close to clubs and party hubs, those looking for a local spot to post up will find craft cocktails and beers galore.<\/p>\n
