ROPPONGI

Roppongi is a district of Tokyo's Minatoku Ward, infamous for its nightlife. Thousands of foreigners and expatriates are visible from any vantage point. Majority of the restaurants and night clubs cater to the English-speaking crowd.


The name "Roppongi" literally means "six trees". It is said that the name comes from the fact that six Daimyo lived nearby during the Edo period, each with the kanji character for "tree" or a kind of tree in their name.




Roponggi Hills is an expansive shopping and entertainment high-rise complex. Sleek and modern, it has brought high-end office and condominium space to Roponggi through the years.
