Dogs getting pampered at the DogMan dog-grooming salon below Hotel Claska in the trendy Tokyo suburb of Meguro. The quiet, tree-lined Meguro area with its designer furniture stores and restaurants is a real surprise for those expecting the Ginza-like experience of Tokyo.

I stumbled across a local park in Meguro, Tokyo on an afternoon photo walk and in the middle of it was a large concrete pond with one side lined by mostly old guys fishing for carp. It appeared to be a user-pay system but I can’t confirm the cost or bag limits.

I took this photo in the back streets of Meguro near Gakugei-daigaku train station on a recent trip to Japan.

Located on the fashionable Meguro-dori, Hotel Claska is a hip boutique hotel in the sprawling western suburbs of Tokyo.

I’ve read alot about the inconvenient location of Hotel Claska and most of it is unjustified. Sure, it isn’t one block away from the blazing lights of Shinjuku or Ginza but that’s the great thing about it.
