In the South-Central part of Tokyo, You may have heard of it. Nakameguro, is a trend finder's favourite area with mix of stylish and retro, young designer boutiques, old/new restaurants &cafes and interior shops line the Meguro river and more you find once you explore. Wandering around by the Meguro river is a most recommended tour to take for the first time. You can find a nice riverside view and small private owned shop, a lovely bookstore, cafés lined, but that is not only thing about Nakame(this is how people(mostly young)call.Nakame is used to be a village(Nakemeguro-village) Taking advantage of the convenient location, Nakame has been picking up commercially since the mid-90s.now People recognize it as Tokyo's one of cool areas to visit and live.

Hanging around in busy shopping street. A tiny spot you can easily miss and pass by.
But just stop for a moment and look for a little relief of your busy day. 'Bato Kannon' is standing there peacefully. Bato means 'Horse Head'. A kannon for horse.This areas used to have many horses.This shrine is still visited by jockeys before their race for good luck.
