Nakameguro & Ebisu Backstreets
中目黒・恵比寿
Canal walk at night, hidden vinyl bars, tiny yakitori counters, speakeasy exteriors. Young Tokyo night. This is where the city's creative class disappears after dark.
Nakameguro Station
Meet at the station. Your guide introduces the neighbourhood — Tokyo's creative hub, where artists, musicians, and designers live and play.
Meguro Canal Walk
Walk along the illuminated canal. String lights in the trees, reflections on the water, and the feeling that you've left the Tokyo everyone photographs.
Vinyl Bar Row
Pass by hidden vinyl bars — no signs, just good music leaking through the walls. We don't enter, but your guide will point out which ones are worth coming back to.
Yakitori Counter Lane
A narrow lane with tiny yakitori counters, each seating 6 people max. Watch the masters at work through the windows. The smell alone is a tour.
Ebisu Garden Place
End at the illuminated tower and plaza. Route concludes with a list of the best spots in the area for your own exploration.
