Meguro Fiori Fiorista

Located on the outskirts of Tokyo, Meguro-ku is a great base for those exploring Toyo and the surrounding area. The Tokyo Photography Museum is located nearby, as is the trendy shopping area of Jiyugaoka. Open green spaces offer plenty of opportunity to snap photos of beautiful flora and fauna when in the area – especially in the springtime. Head to the banks of the Meguro River during the cherry blossom festival for a picturesque walk through the falling blossoms – a favorite pastime of locals and visitors alike. The Meguro Sky Garden is also a wonderful place to explore, admire the architecture and welcome some green space and tranquility when in the area. Meguro is not far from Shinagawa - visitors to this part of Tokyo who wish to escape big city life can head to Shinagawa Kumin Park. Flowers are in bloom throughout the year, but the best plants and colors are seen in the spring, including of course cherry and plum trees. The sakura plaza is a favorite place for locals to sit and picnic in the spring, whilst partaking in the local pastime of watching the blossoms fall. Shinagawa also hosts a Greenery and Flower Festival in Shinagawa-ku, spread out across several different areas.
