Main points
The main thing I want to tell you about this walking route is the section between the Matsuoka Museum of Art and the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum.
Google Maps directs you to turn right at the Westin Garden intersection, ascend the side slope and proceed towards Ebisu Garden Place. However, as the Westin Garden and Ebisu Garden Place are connected by an underground passageway, it is possible to reach the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum without using the slope.
Detailed directions
The route and travel time are as follows:
Instead of taking the shortest route from the Teien Art Museum to the Matsuoka Museum of Art by turning left, go straight on to find Cacao Cat, a chocolate specialty shop. There is also a dine-in area, and as of April 2026, you can enjoy a chocolate cake and drink set for around 1000 yen.
| Start | Arrived | Distance | Walk Time |
| Megro Station | Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum | 700m | 10 min |
| Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum | Matsuoka Museum | 700m | 10 min |
| Matsuoka Museum | Tokyo Photographic Art Museum | 900m | 15 min |
| Tokyo Photographic Art Museum | Megro Station | 1km | 15 min |
| Tokyo Photographic Art Museum | Ebisu Station | 300m | 5 min |
Finally, it takes about 15 minutes to get back to Meguro Station, but only about 5 minutes to get back to Ebisu Station.
