Itinerary description
By walking west side of Meguro station you may find a lot of great historical places of interests. The most popular attraction is no doubt Meguro Parasitological Museum. But this is just the first destination of the exciting walks including natural parks, old temples, and some historical monuments. Finally I enjoyed the walk around the Shizen-Kyoikuen(Institute of Nature Study, National Science Museum).
