Roppongi Hills, Azabu neighborhood walking
Azabu Juban station - the 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.
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.Some sightseeing guidance tours are set, and 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. Because" the 360 degree view " is selling points, the spectacle is splendid.
The miniature exhibition of cities in the world
This exhibition scene is in the same floor as Tokyo City view, and there are 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 is not understood easily because it is too large.
Roppongi Hills - Mouri garden - Azabu Juban station
The Mouri garden is former site of the Mouri feudal domain'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.
