Azabu Juban station - Azabu neighborhood - Keyakizaka Street
When you go up a slope from Azabu Juban station along the Ooedo Line, you arrive at TV Asahi. Looking at Roppongi Hills residences and the Arena, you go up the Keyakizaka Street where many fashion stores are located, and reach Roppongi Avenue.The scenery of the Azabu neighborhood was also uploaded.
Main entrance to Roppongi Hills is an underground passage from Roppongi-station of Hibiya-line.Roppongi Hills ,featuring the 53 stories Mori-tower as the core, has the complex function,such as stores, restaurants, movies, museums, and offices.Guided tours for the building are available. There are not only young people but also a lot of middle-aged woman groups.
The 52nd floor is an observatory and is 250m in height. It is not satisfactory for taking pictures . Because you will take a picture through a blue pane, and the scenery is misted.If you choose a pay sight-seeing course, you can go to the rooftop. The "360 degree view" is one of the selling points. The view from the rooftop is splendid.
The miniature exhibition of cities in the world
This exhibit has been here since the opening of the building a half year ago. This exhibition scene was in the same floor as Tokyo City view, and there were miniatures of metropolises of the world, such as London, New York, and Tokyo. The transparent boxes ware placed instead of the Word Trade Center of New York, and I felt fear of terrorism and at the same time felt nostalgia. Tokyo was not understood easily because it was too large.
Roppongi Hills - Mouri garden - Azabu Juban station
The Mouri garden is former site of the Mouri feudal lord's Edo residence. This Mouri governed the Nagato Region in western Japan. Their local residence was at the current Choufu city in Yamaguchi Prefecture.There is only a pond, and although it is small, the Roppongi Hills seen from here is wonderful.
