Earlier today, I went to Roppongi Hills, and I decided to snap a few photos of the familiar sights there, including Tokyo Tower and Mori Tower. Enjoy!

On Saturday, August 12, I was invited to dinner with some work colleagues at a Mexican restaurant in Daikanyama. The restaurant was on the ninth floor of a building, so it gave us a good view of the skyline. In particular, we could see Roppongi quite well from our vantage point, including Mori Tower and Tokyo Tower. Seeing as how we were there for a few hours, I was able to take photos at several points during the evening, which you can see below. Enjoy!

Last night, I returned to Roppongi Hills, and since I had camera in hand, I took a few shots of the familiar fixtures of the area, particularly Tokyo Tower and Maman, the giant spider statue. Enjoy!

OUT AND ABOUT IN ROPPONGI! Taking in the Various Sights!

During my travels today, I visited Roppongi Hills and decided to take some photos of the scenery. It's nothing new to this blog, but I decided to take the opportunity.

Mori Tower in Roppongi Hills is the sixth-tallest building in Tokyo and has an observation deck that provides an excellent view of the city.

I've been in Japan so long that I remember when it was the fifth-tallest building in the city! (The Tokyo Skytree wasn't finished at the time.)

The bronze sculpture Maman has been a fixture in Roku-Roku Plaza for many years, and it's most definitely an attention-getter. Who wouldn't immediately pay attention to a 10-meter spider?

In the distance, Tokyo Tower was clearly visible. Of course, if you've seen any number of kaiju movies over the years, you're well aware of this structure.
