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.
Roppongi Midtown Area
Right outside the Roppongi Station, you can see one of the iconic landmarks of the area: Roppongi Crossing. A little further west and you will be in Tokyo Midtown, which has become a popular shopping and restaurant destination in Tokyo since opening to the public in 2007. Relax in one of Tokyo’s leading luxury hotels, the Ritz-Carlton, then visit the Suntory Museum of Art and relish in the many beautiful showcases.
Nearby, you can visit the 21_21 Design Sight, which holds many special exhibitions throughout the year and offers a relaxing atmosphere. Just around the corner from Tokyo Midtown, you can also pay a visit to the National Art Center. The building itself is a work of art and is based with the concept of “a museum in the forest.” Holding one of the largest exhibition spaces in Japan, the museum focuses on progressive artworks both in Japan and abroad.
