Roppongi Hills ( 六本木ヒルズ Roppongi Hiruzu ) is located in the district of Minato, Tokyo. Roppongi Hills is one of Japan’s largest integrated property developments, located in the Roppongi district of Tokyo.

Constructed by building tycoon Minoru Mori, the mega-complex incorporates office space, apartments, shops, restaurants, cafés, movie theatres, a museum, a hotel, a major TV studio, an outdoor amphitheatre, and a few parks. (from wikipedia)

Roppongi Hills has beautiful sculptures in the area, such as the gigantic spider standing huge near to the Mori Tower. (ok, spider isn’t exactly beautiful. I-am-no-fan-of-spider-including-spiderman).

The beautiful part, (to me, at least. probably to some of you the spider is lovely) .. the beautiful part of Roppongi Hills is the humangeous talk of rose standing tall, and beside it there’s a small little white hut. Standing underneath this gigantic flower, you can actually see the 54-storey high rise Mori Tower, the not-so-cute-to-me spider, and the Tokyo Tower from far.

All of a sudden, I feel small with all the gigantic structures around me. I have to say the lights and the surrounding atmosphere of the place is just lovely despite the big spider sculpture around.

Roppongi Hills (Japanese: 六本木ヒルズ) is one of Japan’s largest integrated property developments, located in the Roppongi district of Tokyo.

Built by building tycoon Minoru Mori, the mega-complex incorporates office space, apartments, shops, restaurants, cafés, movie theatres, a museum, a hotel, a major

TV studio, an outdoor amphitheatre, and a few parks. The centrepiece is the 54-story eponymous Mori Tower. Mori’s stated vision was to build an integrated development where high-rise inner-urban communities allow people to live, work, play, and shop in close proximity to eliminate commuting time. He argued this would increase leisure time, quality of life, and benefit Japan’s national competitiveness. Seventeen years in the making, the complex opened to the public on April 23, 2003
