How to go to Roppongi hills;
From Tokyo, ride a train bound to Roppongi Station at 200JPY fare fee. Roppongi Hill is just 100m away from the Roppongi train station. Admission is FREE. Photography and video taking with monopod is permitted inside, tripod is prohibited.

Roppongi Hills is a New Urban Centre and one of Japan's largest integrated property developments, located in the Roppongi district of Minato, Tokyo. Constructed by building tycoon Minoru Mori, the mega-complex incorporates office space, apartments, shops, restaurants, cafés, movie theatres, a museum, a hotel, a major TV studio, an outdoor amphitheatre, and a few parks. The centerpiece is the 54-story Mori Tower. Mori's stated vision was to build an integrated development where high-rise inner-urban communities allow people to live, work, play, and shop in proximity to eliminate commuting time. He argued that this would increase leisure time, quality of life, and benefit Japan's national competitiveness.
