Meguro Station gives you four lines - the JR Yamanote Line, the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, the Toei Mita Line and the Tokyu Meguro Line - with Shinagawa three stops, about 8 minutes, away and Shibuya about 6 minutes, while through-service on the Namboku and Mita Lines means direct access to Nagatacho and Mita. Within walking distance, the Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum, housed in the Art Deco former residence of Prince Asaka, sits next to the Institute for Nature Study of the National Museum of Nature and Science, a forest that feels impossibly wild for central Tokyo; together they are the area's signature cultural and natural attractions. In spring the cherry trees along the Meguro River draw large crowds. The station building and surrounding streets have supermarkets carrying imported foods, and there are comparatively many English-speaking clinics. Hotel Gajoen Tokyo, decorated throughout with Japanese art, is also worth seeing. Shops and restaurants cluster in front of the station, and Gonnosuke-zaka offers everything from budget eateries to long-established restaurants - a neighborhood that balances living environment and convenience.
