Roppongi Hills

Roppongi is a district of Tokyo, which is overloaded especially on Fridays and Saturdays by an international public. The area in the southwest of this district is called Roppongi Hills and it contains modern architecture, exquisite shopping possibilities, cafes, restaurants and a small park, which complement each other to a pleasant atmosphere.

The highest building is the Mori Tower and from its top you can again have a good view over Tokyo (what I didn't do this time). The interior of the building contains many boutiques and other shops, like tea shops. It is a pity that I didn't have enough time to explore the different levels in detail.

The building next to the Mori Tower is TV Asahi. There is a nice place between both buildings, which borders to the small park. The visitors are showered with advertisment coming from huge monitors. In the area of Roppongi you can find: sophisticated shops for the household, IBM, car dealer of luxus cars, a mass of restaurants, bars, cafes, discos and nightclubs...
