Anyoin Temple was built as one of the sub-temples of Ryusenji Temple better known by its nickname Meguro Fudoson. The temple is best known by a small museum called "Anyoin Museum of North India and Tibetian Buddhism" When I went there on August 4 the museum was still closed. It will reopened sometime in Autumn.

Meguro Gajoen, one of the most popular wedding venues as well as upscale lodging place in Tokyo, may be a nice place to visit as well. It has a fancy gallery and high-class restaurants. Right behind its hotel-wedding complex is an office building, Arco Tower, 103 meters in height, adding grace to cherry views along Meguro River during early April.
