## Train and Subway Services
## JR East
JR East operates Yamanote Line services from ground-level platforms at Meguro Station.
### Yamanote Line
The Yamanote Line provides frequent loop services around central Tokyo.
Northbound and clockwise destinations include Ebisu, Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro.
Southbound and counterclockwise destinations include Gotanda, Ōsaki, Shinagawa, Tokyo Station, Ueno and Nippori.
Passengers should check the direction carefully because trains travel around the loop in opposite directions.
Meguro is a convenient Yamanote Line station for reaching Shibuya, Shinjuku, Shinagawa and Tokyo Station without changing trains.
## Tokyu Meguro Line
The Tokyu Meguro Line begins at Meguro and operates from underground platforms shared with Tokyo Metro and Toei services.
Southbound destinations include Fudō-mae, Musashi-koyama, Nishi-koyama, Ōokayama, Den-en-chōfu, Tamagawa, Musashi-kosugi and Hiyoshi.
Many trains continue beyond Hiyoshi towards Shin-Yokohama and destinations on the Sotetsu railway network.
Local, express and other service categories have different stopping patterns.
Passengers should check the final destination because through services may travel well beyond the traditional Meguro Line.
## Tokyo Metro Namboku Line
The Tokyo Metro Namboku Line begins operationally at Meguro, although many services continue directly onto the Tokyu Meguro Line.
Northbound destinations include Shirokanedai, Shirokane-takanawa, Azabu-juban, Roppongi-itchōme, Tameike-sannō, Yotsuya, Iidabashi, Komagome and Akabane-iwabuchi.
Some trains continue beyond Akabane-iwabuchi onto the Saitama Railway Line towards Urawa-misono.
Passengers should check the destination because not every train follows the same through route.
## Toei Mita Line
The Toei Mita Line also serves the shared underground station at Meguro.
Northbound destinations include Shirokanedai, Shirokane-takanawa, Mita, Hibiya, Ōtemachi, Suidōbashi, Sugamo and Nishi-takashimadaira.
Many southbound trains continue directly onto the Tokyu Meguro Line.
Selected services may continue beyond Hiyoshi towards Shin-Yokohama and the Sotetsu network.
The Namboku and Mita lines share tracks between Meguro and Shirokane-takanawa before separating onto different routes.

## Transfers Between Lines
### JR East to Tokyu Meguro Line
Follow signs from the JR concourse for the Tokyu Meguro Line.
The Tokyu platforms are underground and use a separate ticketed area from JR East.
Allow several minutes for elevators, escalators and ticket gates.
### JR East to Tokyo Metro Namboku Line
Follow signs for the Namboku Line and the shared underground station.
Passengers must normally leave the JR ticketed area before entering the subway section.
### JR East to Toei Mita Line
Follow signs for the Toei Mita Line.
The Mita and Namboku lines use the same underground platform area at Meguro but continue along different routes north of Shirokane-takanawa.
### Tokyu Meguro Line to Namboku Line
Many Tokyu trains continue directly onto the Tokyo Metro Namboku Line.
Passengers may remain on the same train when the displayed destination follows the Namboku Line route.
### Tokyu Meguro Line to Toei Mita Line
Many Tokyu trains continue directly onto the Toei Mita Line.
Check the train destination and line symbol because Mita and Namboku services depart from the same general platform area.
### Namboku Line to Mita Line
Passengers travelling between the two subway routes may need to select the correct train at Meguro or transfer at Shirokane-takanawa.
Check the line symbol and final destination before boarding.
### JR Yamanote Line to Underground Platforms
The transfer requires movement between the JR ground-level section and the underground Tokyu and subway platforms.
Allow additional time during commuter periods or when using elevators.
## Transport Connections

Local buses operate from stops around the East and West exits and along Meguro-dori.
Routes connect Meguro Station with neighbourhoods across Meguro, Shinagawa, Minato, Shibuya and Setagaya wards.

## Visitor Tips
Choose the correct side of the station before leaving the ticketed area.
Use the West Exit for the Meguro River, Gonnosukezaka, Hotel Gajoen Tokyo and Daienji Temple.
Use the East Exit for Atre Meguro, Shirokanedai, the Institute for Nature Study and Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum.
Allow additional time when transferring between the JR platforms and underground railway lines.
Check whether your underground train continues onto the Namboku Line or Toei Mita Line.
Check the final destination carefully because many services continue beyond Meguro onto the Tokyu Meguro Line.
Confirm whether a Tokyu service is local or express before boarding.
Check the direction of the Yamanote Line before entering the platform.
Follow railway-company logos and coloured line symbols rather than relying only on platform numbers.
Keep your ticket or transport card available because transfers between JR and underground operators require separate gates.
Use a staffed gate when travelling with oversized luggage, a stroller or a wheelchair.
Expect larger crowds around the Meguro River during the spring cherry-blossom season.
Do not confuse Meguro Station with Naka-meguro Station, which is a separate station farther northwest.
