Meguro
The name of a region on both sides of the middle of the Meguro-gawa River. There were open fields that spread on both banks, a plateau with a gently inclined slope at an elevation of 25-30m to the south of the river, and a steep hill with a height difference of 30-45m to the north called Yodobashidai. The residence of the head of the Shimabara Clan, Matsudaira Tonomonokami, where Chiyogaike was located, and the tea shop Jijigachaya were located in the southwest of Yodobashidai, and from on top of the sheer plateau, one could look out over Meguro-gawa River and the plains, and it was a popular spot for its amazing views of Mt. Fuji.
