In the heart of Tokyo, Meguro station stands as a neuralgic point linking residential calm to urban effervescence. Located on the famous Yamanote line, it offers privileged access to quiet neighborhoods while remaining close to the capital's liveliest areas. Opened in 1885, this historic station has evolved into a major crossroads served by four railway lines. With over 100,000 passengers a day, Meguro is much more than just a station: it's a gateway to authentic Tokyo, where tradition and modernity blend harmoniously.

The station has three main exits, all within easy reach of each other:

  • Main exit: Ideal for accessing the Meguro River and Daien-ji temple.
  • East exit: Recommended for the Tokyo Teien Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Nature Study Institute Park.
  • West exit: leading to other residential and commercial areas.

Nature Study Institute (Shizen-Kyoiku-En): Located near the station, this vast 200,000 m² park offers a green oasis in the heart of Tokyo. It's an ideal place to observe local flora and fauna, with numerous walking trails and relaxation areas.

Tokyo Teien Metropolitan Museum of Art: a former princely residence transformed into a museum, this 1933 art deco building houses remarkable art collections. Its elegant gardens make it a particularly pleasant place to visit.

Daien-ji temple: Founded in 1624, this Buddhist temple is famous for its 519 rakan statues (disciples of Buddha). These statues, intended to soothe the souls of victims of a historic fire, are a striking sight.
