Bistro Huit

The neighborhood of Nakameguro (nickname Nakame) is packed with great little boutiques, cafes, and restaurants. The beautiful tree lined canal (cherry blossoms in hanami season) is perfect for a day out with friends, or a lovely afternoon on your own. The range in this small neighborhood is amazing. A few high points;
Get your nails done at Maybelle in the BALS Building/ have a lovely lunch at either one of the two HUIT locations (french bistro) enjoy shopping all along the river, and enjoy an organic delicous dinner from the female chef at Mother Esta! There is so much to do and discover- Hope you have a great day in Nakame! You can also head up the hill to Daikanyama for many more adventures.
