Serene Ambience of a Plush Residential Neighborhood: Meguro Area

■ Meguro/Nakameguro property listing
　
In the Edo era (1603–1868), feudal lords called daimyo built their villas in Meguro area. In the Meiji era that followed (1868–1912) and thereafter, Meguro continued to be known as a district of luxurious residences. That rarefied atmosphere of grace and high social standing prevails in Meguro today. The area is also remarkably convenient, served by JR Yamanote Line, Tokyu Meguro Line, Tokyo Metro Namboku Line and Toei Mita Line. This ease of access also reinforces Meguro’s popularity as a residential quarter.

Not far from Meguro Station is Hanabusayama, one of Jonangozan, the “five great hills of Jonan” and the center of a well-heeled residential area. Despite its proximity to the station, this area has long been popular with aspirational home-seekers as a convenient yet quiet, exclusive neighborhood. Today numerous embassies contribute to the area’s upscale bearing.

A stroll around the environs of Meguro Station soon brings you to the Institute for Nature Study. Part of the National Museum of Nature and Science, the Institute forms a precious forest belt of lush natural beauty in the heart of Tokyo, a true urban oasis.

Along Meguro River, 800 cherry trees bloom in spring and attract visitors.

In recent years, development around Meguro Station has brought the arrival of two major, mixed-use complexes, urban “twin tower” residences of 40 and 38 stories respectively. Further redevelopment projects are also on the drawing board, promising continuing improvement in the residential environment.
