Travel Tuesdays #20: Naka-Meguro Starbucks, Tsutaya And The New Station中目黒
Travel Tuesdays
Naka-Meguro has become one of my favorite areas in Tokyo. I've actually been visiting there since my friend had a club night I would DJ at in the early 2000's, but it has changed a lot since those days. Back then it was somewhat of a backwater to Shibuya, Daikanyama & Ebisu, now it's one of the hottest spots in Tokyo.
中目黒は東京で私の好きな分野の一つになっています。 私は友人がクラブの夜を過ごして以来、私は実際にそこを訪れていました。私は2000年代初めにDJをしましたが、当時からずっと変わってきました。 当時は、渋谷の代官山＆amp; 恵比寿、東京で一番ホットなスポットのひとつです。
Whenever I am in town I stop by the Starbucks & Tsutaya cafe. It is a unique bookstore in a Starbucks, or is it the other way around? The atmosphere is nice, every seat has an outlet for you to power your devices and you can enjoy a book while you wait for your phone to charge!
私が町にいる時はいつでもスターバックス＆ツタヤのカフェで止まります。 それはスターバックスのユニークな書店ですか、それともそれ以外の方法ですか？ 雰囲気はいいです、すべての席にはあなたのデバイスに電力を供給するためのコンセントがあり、携帯電話が充電されるのを待っている間に本を楽しむことができます！
The Naka-Meguro station was rebuilt several years ago and they added in this Starbucks as well as a few other places, like Good Barbeque. There is a walk by Starbucks, shown above, then across from that is another Starbucks inside of Tsutaya, or is it the other way around? It's a bit confusing because there is a Starbucks and Tsutaya across from each other.
中目黒駅は数年前に再建され、このスターバックスだけでなく、グッドバーベキューのようないくつかの場所に加えられました。 上に示されているスターバックスの散歩があります。そこから、別のスターバックスがつた屋の中に入っていますか？ お互いの向こう側にスターバックスとツタヤがあるので、ちょっと混乱します。
Anyway, as you can see in the pictures above it's pretty interesting and if you are into coffee and those old things called "books" it's really awesome. They sell more than just books though. My wife, @tokyowomanslife, and I spotted these Diesel housewares on the shelves!
とにかく、あなたが上の写真で見ることができるように、それはかなり面白いです。あなたがコーヒーに入っていて、 "本"と呼ばれる古いものが本当に素晴らしいです。 彼らは単なる本以上のものを売っている。 私の妻@tokyowomanslifeと、私はこの棚にディーゼルの家庭用品を見つけました！
I liked the nut shaped glasses and the crescent wrench silverware, why not?!
私はナット形の眼鏡と三日月レンチの銀器を好きでした、なぜそうではありませんか？
Tow other special things that stuck out about this Starbucks & Tsutaya. 1. There are self checkout kiosks. Scan the book or other product, insert your money and you're done! I know, we've had these in America for a long time, but this is Japan where we expected automation in the 80's!
このStarbucks＆Tsutayaについて出てくる他の特別なものを牽引してください。 1.セルフチェックアウトキオスクがあります。 本や他の製品をスキャンして、あなたのお金を入れてください！ 私は長い間米国でこれを持っていましたが、これは80年代の自動化が期待される日本です！
Opposite the Starbuck's, in Tsutaya, you can also order beer. Now we're talking! Enjoy a pale ale while your phone charges or while you enjoy a book.
ツタヤのスターバックスの向かいには、ビールを注文することもできます。 今話している！ あなたの電話料金や本を楽しんでいる間は薄いエールをお楽しみください。
There is actually a lot to do right here at the station so if you are ever in Shibuya or Ebisu I urge you to stop by Naka-Meguro for a look at trendy Tokyo!
実際に駅でやるべきことがたくさんあるので、渋谷や恵比寿にいらっしゃいましたら、流行の東京を見て中目黒に立ち寄ることをお勧めします！

Want to have your post on the map too?
Makes me wonder how Kyoto would be different if I visited today. Interesting to watch an area evolve like that. And self checkouts? Man, finally, right? lol
I saw the self check-in system everywhere in America but my boyfriend likes to talk to people so we never used them lol
I feel like the self check-in system has been spreading to local shops even in my area (not Tokyo).
You heard about Amazon's combini in Seattle? No check out. Go in, get what you want and walk out. It is all tracked and billed to your account. That is where we are headed.
yes, I heard about that. That's crazy!
When I went to Chicago, I happened to go to a restaurant with no staff (a person appeared later but she was just there). We ordered with a machine paid with a card and the food was delivered in a dedicated box. I should make a post about it but it was a crazy experience.
Looks lovely man,
You guys have really beautiful places in Japan... I will go visit once I have a bit more financial freedom to do so.
Cheers
Man, the city is so amazing. The design and thought that goes into the smallest detail in Tokyo is mind blowing.
Indeed, get some $$ and time and come for a visit. Steemit fam is growing in Japan and will open our arms to ya, in a plutonic way of course.
As long as I dont have to crash in one of those capsule hotels :P
Saw this featured on @jrvacation (๑•‿•๑). I'll put this on my list of places to visit if I'm in the area. I'm surprised self-checkout is a recent thing in Japan! Then again, some offices there still use the old school fax machines (๑˃‿˂).
