Description
This tour waiting spot is at Starbucks opposite Nakameguro Station.
We go along the Meguro River to watch the outstanding beauty of Japanese cherry blossoms (Notice: The season is between late March and early April, usually)
After that, we go to Daienji temple. In the middle of the 18th century, fire broke out from this temple, and Edo became a sea of fire. As a result, it was not allowed to be rebuilt until the end of the Edo period. After that, it was newly built as a tribute to those who died in the Edo fire. Finally, we go to Gajoen. In 1931, Meguro Gajoen was opened as a restaurant named after Meguro. This was the first general wedding hall in Japan. However, it was a restaurant serving authentic Beijing cuisine and Japanese cuisine, and by putting prices on the menu and using other innovative ideas, many ordinary people, as well as politicians and high-class people at that time, visited.
The interior of the halls, with its dignified decoration, is also called “Ryukyu Castle in Showa.” On March 16, 2009, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government designated four of the seven banquet halls as tangible cultural properties (buildings). The tour's ending spot is JR Meguro Station. We say goodbye!
