The Hills....







ROPPONGI HILLS that is....

Here are a few pics of Roppongi Hills, which is famous for it's club scene and is particularly popular with expats. You can find just about any music you want here, jazz, blues, ska, hip hop, classic, disco, crisco, frisco disco (just kidding) Unveiled in 2003, Roppongi Hills aspires to be an all purpose mini cit. The 54 story Mori Tower forms the focus of the hills. Over 200 shops, restaurants, and bars occupy the complex, which also boasts cinemas, interconnecting walkways, the Grand Hyatt Tokyo (not the one from Lost in Translation...that one is in Shinjuku) and the richly imaginitive and daring exhibits of the Mori Art Museum. Admission to the museum includes access to the Tokyo City View, a 52nd-floor observation deck (open later than the museum) . Maman, the giant, spiny, spider sculpture by Louise Bourgeois outside the main tower, is a major draw.
