Roppongi Hills
July 11th, 2008 by TE
The 54 floor, 238m Roppongi Hills complex opened its doors in early 2003 and instantly became the most popular building in the city – even today, around 100,000 visitors drop by on weekdays, a number that doubles and even triples on weekends. Today the structure is home to many of Tokyo’s leading edge companies along with the prestigious Mori Art Museum, a globally renowned hotel, residential and office space, and of course the obligatory viewing platform – Tokyo City View – 52 floors above street level. A tad expensive to enter, but given that it includes access to he brilliant Mori Art Museum, it is still well worth the trip, especially at night when the lights of the city are switched on and the grey view of the daylight hours.

Opening Hours:
10:00-22:00 Mon, Weds, Thurs / 10:00-24:00 Fri – Sun / 10:00-17:00 Tues.
