Nakameguro is a beautiful area in Tokyo and one of the most popular locations during the cherry Blossom Festival season due to its location along the Meguro River. It is a cool area, very residential – along the river it gets some kind of Amsterdam vibe due to the canal between the sidewalks. There are very nice stores, boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Yet in the area but slightly off from Nakameguro’s heart you find Waltz – you need to walk barely ten minutes from the station to get there but the stroll will pay off – arguably the most interesting music store in Tokyo dedicated to analog music only, with a focus on cassettes and records.東京・中目黒は都内でも特に人気のエリア。春には目黒川沿いの桜も有名だ。住宅街には運河もあることから、まるでアムステルダムのような雰囲気も感じ取れ、魅力的なお店やカフェ、レストランも勢揃いしている。中目黒駅から約徒歩10分のところに、個性的で面白いカセットテープとレコード専門店、「ワルツ」がある。

In Shinjuku, Tokyo, a rather extraordinary building has appeared. Located not a great distance from Waseda and Ushigome Yanagicho stations, on a street full of the rather typical buildings you can see in any part of this great city, stands one building which shouts out that it is something more than typical. Where most buildings look quite ‘busy’ with various windows, balconies and other exterior cladding, this building presents sheer white walls and large continuous windows. Its simplicity is understated, yet all the more interesting for being so. In an area famous for its hustle and bustle this one building presents an exterior which represents the opposite. When you discover this building then you have indeed found the Yayoi Kusama Museum東京の新宿に、一見変わった建物が現れた。早稲田駅と牛込柳町駅にほど近い日本的な建物が密集するこの地域に、真っ白な壁と大きな窓というシンプルな作りの建物は却って人の目を引き、興味をそそられる。これが2017年10月にオープンした草間彌生美術館だ。
