Roppongi Hills, Tokyo

Roppongi Hills is in the Minato Ward of Tokyo and is well known for it's trendy reputation. The Mori Tower is it's most prominent landmark rising to 54 stories and offering spectacular views from the rooftop observation deck.

The Tokyo Tower is just off to the east while the Shinjuku skyline looks spectacular against a setting sun. On rare clear days Mount Fuji can be seen beyond but I wasn't treated to that on this occasion.

The base of the Mori Tower is also home to Roppongi's best known resident, "Maman", the amazing spider sculpture which dominates the plaza area by the Tower.
