Meguro In Your Pocket is a brand new guide map featuring local attractions, restaurant & cafe recommendations, an events calendar, plus the top cherry blossom viewing spots in the ward.
The map features some suggestions from the Meguro Tourism Association on the various events that happen in the area each year, such as the Nakameguro Sakura Festival, Jiyugaoka Sweets Festival, Yutenji Bon Dance Festival, Sanma Festival and the best spot to see Christmas illuminations.
The map is a handy guide to the Meguro River, a canal-like river famous for its leafy, tree-lined riverside dotted with shops and cafes, and one of the best cherry blossom viewing routes in the city.
Other recommended places to visit are the Jiyugaoka Sweets Forest, Meguro Gajoen, Japan Folk Crafts Museum, Meguro Parasitological Museum and Komazawa Olympic Park.
Pick the guide map up for free at embassies, universities and other spots in the Meguro neighborhood.

I love walking along the river. There are some great cafes there. Unfortunately, it's starting to get very crowded, especially on weekends and cherry blossom time...and at Christmas, if you go there to see the light display, you can hardly move.

How about serializing that guide map adding other 22 wards, Shinjyuku, Shibuya, Setagaya ward, etc?

Good idea, Poor English Speaker. But I'd like to see them take it further and offer through their website the opportunity to have one mailed to me, so I can properly plan a visit. I don't want to be required to visit my country's embassy, or a university, just to pick up a guide.
