Roppongi Hills

What to know

Roppongi Hills is a prime example of a city within a city. Opened in 2003 in Tokyo's Roppongi district, this complex houses offices, apartments, shops, restaurants, a hotel, an art museum, an observation deck, and more. The office floors host leading IT and financial companies, making Roppongi Hills a symbol of Japan's tech industry.

At the heart of Roppongi Hills stands the 238-meter Mori Tower, one of Tokyo's tallest buildings. While most of the tower is office space, the lower floors feature restaurants and shops, and the top floors offer a public observation deck and a modern art museum.

The Tokyo City View observation deck is among the best in Tokyo. Weather permitting, an open-air rooftop deck provides stunning views. Also on the top floors is the Mori Art Museum, a contemporary art museum showcasing innovative ideas from around the world.

Other highlights include the serene Mori Garden behind the tower and the luxurious Grand Hyatt hotel. The complex offers abundant shopping and dining options, plus a large cinema showing both Japanese and international films. The headquarters of TV Asahi are also located here.

Roppongi Hills is about a five-minute walk from the Hibiya Line platform of Roppongi Station and a ten-minute walk from the Oedo Line platform.

15 minutes, 180 yen by Marunouchi and Hibiya subway lines via Kasumigaseki Station.
