Meguro River, Christmas illumination (December)

What you are watching

I filmed this myself, on foot, the way you would actually walk it. Watch the light, the crowd and the pace of Nakameguro before you decide how to spend your evening there. This is one of 8 walks I have filmed in Nakameguro.

A canal lined with cherry trees, lit by lanterns in spring. Tiny cafés, design shops, and some of Tokyo's most quietly excellent restaurants. Walkable in an hour.

After the walk

The walk shows you the street. The guide tells you which doors to open: 8 places I stand behind in Nakameguro, each with the price, the nearest station exit and what to order. Read the Nakameguro guide.
