Join Watasanpo on a picturesque walking journey through Meguro, one of Tokyo's most charming and upscale districts, in this immersive 4K HDR video. Beginning in Shimomeguro 3-chome, the walk highlights the area's relaxed atmosphere and residential luxury, with elegant low-rise apartment buildings and delightful cafés lining tree-shaded streets.

The stroll continues through several chome (blocks) of Shimomeguro, including 4-chome and 5-chome, showcasing the neighborhood’s distinct topography with its many slopes and elevation changes. The route briefly pauses outside Yufu Toku, a well-known soba restaurant, before heading into Meguro 4-chome and navigating a famously confusing five-way intersection that adds character to the area. A highlight is the Yato-Maegawa Green Path, a serene walkway perfect for a peaceful escape within the city.

Along the way, viewers will encounter charming curiosities like a forgotten knitted hat and Kenmin, a quirky rice noodle vending machine. The journey continues up Jushichi-ga-zaka (Seventeen Slope) and Bakuro-zaka, both scenic hills that further define Meguro's terrain. Towards the end, the route enters Nakameguro 4-chome and Kamimeguro, ending at Kamimeguro Tenso Shrine and finishing between the Yutenji and Nakameguro neighborhoods.

This walk is a visual treat, taking viewers off the beaten path into residential and often overlooked areas of Tokyo.
