An evening in Roppongi Hills


Back again! Here, there some pics of our second trip. It was when I went to the Mori Tower, a pretty new building in Roppongi Hills. 238 meters high. I don't remember where I took those pictures actually... it's a mix between views from the Mori Tower and Tokyo Tower... anyway it doesn't really matter...

One of the main area of Tokyo, Shinjuku.


Finally! I could admire the mystic Mount Fuji. Called Fuji-San in Japanese (that we could translate by "Mr. Fuji"), the mountain is 3776 meters high which the highest in Japan. Climbing the volcano was long prohibited because it was sacred and said to be the home of the Shinto Goddess. Athought dormant for three centuries, the Japanese fear and venerate the moutnain whose anger could totally change the face of the region.

I saw many adverts in the subway for these twin towers, standing proudly near the Mori Tower

Even from here, everything remains mysterious.

Highway going straight to Shibuya.

Another highway dividing strictly this jungle of concrete.

Here, we can see Odaiba, which is artificial island build on Tokyo Bay mainly for the enterainments, shopping or attractions. The famous illuminations around Roppongi Hills. During Christmas time it's very pleasant to have walk there while those thousands bulbs are lightning the streets.
