Out and About in Roppongi Hills!

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!

McDonald's Godzilla Burger Promotion at Roppongi Hills!

While passing through Roppongi Hills today, I happened upon a massive (and I do mean massive) promotional campaign for the Godzilla Burger in Roppongi Hills. There were signs all over the place, and it caught me completely by surprise. (But what a pleasant surprise it was!) The photos and videos I took are below, and I hope they convey just how impressive it all was. As you can see, the Hamburglar, Birdie, and even Grimace join in the fun. It doesn't get any cooler than this!

Getting a bird's-eye view of Tokyo!

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!

Christmas Comes to Roppongi Hills!

Christmas in Roppongi Hills! Photo by Brett Homenick.

While in Roppongi Hills earlier today (Wednesday, December 7), I spotted a couple of fun Christmas-themed setups in the area. One was sponsored by Amazon Prime, which urged merrymakers to have a "Happy Blue Christmas." Could this be a sly reference to the 1978 Toho sci-fi thriller directed by Kihachi Okamoto? Of course not. But Shin Ultraman (2022) was featured in their advertising. So there's that. Anyway, on to the photos. Enjoy!
