Tokyo Roppongi|Roppongi Station Area Map & Sightseeing Information

Last updated: 19 March 2018

Located in the southeastern area of Tokyo in Minato-ku, Roppongi is well known for nightlife in Japan, luxury apartments and many landmarks. Ever since the 1960’s, Roppongi was known as one of the busiest towns in Tokyo. Becoming an international office area after redevelopment throughout the years, there are now many hotels, TV stations, and shopping districts to be found here.
However, hundreds of years ago, the area was rather empty and was a garrison for the army towards the end of the Edo period until around the start of the Showa period. Quite a huge contrast to the bright lights and busy atmosphere it holds today.
