Backstreets, a canal & late dinners
Ebisu, Meguro and Naka-Meguro sit side by side on the south-west side of the Yamanote Line. Quiet streets, small izakaya and yakitori counters where people stop after work, and a canal lined with cherry trees.
It is an easy base: one stop from Shibuya, and full of places to eat within a short walk.

Cherry blossoms on the Meguro River
From Naka-Meguro down toward Meguro, the canal is lined with cherry trees. At night in blossom season, lanterns light up the water. Weekends are very crowded, so go early on a weekday morning.
When: late March to early April
Walking down Gyoninzaka
A short, steep old slope from Meguro Station down to the river. Quiet temple walls on one side, city views on the other. Easier going down than up.
When: any time, 10 min walk
After-work Ebisu
Around 6 pm the small streets near Ebisu Station fill up with standing bars and tiny counters. Good for a slow evening of small plates without a plan.
When: weekday evenings
