Roppongi Hills
(1) These stones were built with the famous japanese stone gardens in mind. They are part of "Streetscape - Street furniture in Tokyo", a kind of open art exhibition in Roppongi Hills. The different kinds of furniture were built by various artists from around the world and look great.
(2) This chair can also look quite spectacular. It was built by Tokujin Yoshioka and is called chair that disappears in rainy days. The chair is made of glass with a special technique that also used for the glasses of observatories(!).
(3) Many viewpoints near the train station are used at noon by lovers.

(5) A very futuristic building: the blue light moves up and down.
My impression
Roppongi means "six trees" although no one seems to know where the name originated from. During the second world-war. Roppongi was almost completely destroyed.
Today, Roppongi is the home for many designer stores (similar to Ginza), night clubs and Asahi-TV. I visited Roppongi Hills near the end of my holidays and I didn't have much time. If you go there, make sure to carry a local area map and a event guide.
