Talk:Tokyo/Meguro

Meguro station is actually located in the Shinagawa Ward, not Meguro ward. The Tokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum is located in the Minato Ward. Reference http://www.teien-art-museum.ne.jp/info/e_access.html

 * Then pray tell the legitimacy of using wards as a means of categorization. Even natives don't consciously acknowledge ward boundaries inside Tokyo; areas centering on main train stations for example would be a more practical option. (e.g. Ebisu/Meguro/Daikanyama area) If on the other hand wards is the direction you want to go with, shouldn't they at least be accurate?


 * Wards are useful when they correspond to rational divisions, and eg. Tokyo/Shibuya and Tokyo/Shinjuku are centered around stations of the same name, but Wikivoyage doesn't follows wards religiously: consider eg. Tokyo/Asakusa (not a ward) and Tokyo/Odaiba (theoretically split between three wards). The fact that Meguro Station is not in Meguro Ward is, even by Japanese standards, so bizarre that I don't think we need to burden tourists with this pointless trivia &mdash; if it's between Meguro stn and Meguro ward, it's Meguro enough for me.
