All Reviews of Roppongi Hills

Roppongi's winter illuminations are one of Tokyo's most iconic Christmas attractions, mainly divided into two areas: Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown.
1. Roppongi Hills
Keyakizaka: The classic “Snow & Blue” display features a 400-meter-long sea of silver-white and blue lights.
Best photo spot: The pedestrian bridge over Keyakizaka Street, where you can capture both the tunnel of blue lights and Tokyo Tower in the center.
Dates and hours: Early November through December 25 each year, 5:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m.
Christmas market: Held at O-YANE PLAZA at Mori Tower, this is Tokyo's oldest German-style Christmas market, selling hot mulled wine and Christmas decorations.

2. Tokyo Midtown
Walkway of Lights: Around 320,000 gold LED lights create a romantic golden corridor. Illuminations in some areas continue through the end of February the following year.
Outdoor ice rink: Usually open in the garden area during the illumination event, it is one of Tokyo's largest outdoor ice-skating rinks.
Dates and hours: Mid-November through December 25 each year, 5:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m.

Bustling Tokyo is always especially charming during the Christmas season, and Roppongi Hills is definitely a great place to soak up the holiday atmosphere. The entire neighborhood is decorated with dazzling lights, making it incredibly romantic. You can also stop by the Christmas market, which has an international feel, and the air is filled with festive cheer.

When you get tired from walking around, I highly recommend heading to the nearby Shake Shack for dinner. Although it’s a famous burger chain from the United States, the beef patties in Japan are especially juicy and delicious. On a cold winter night, ordering a classic cheeseburger with a rich, creamy milkshake and taking a big bite is incredibly satisfying. It’s a treat for both the eyes and the taste buds, and a wonderful memory of chilly Tokyo that makes me want to keep coming back.

When you're in Roppongi, Tokyo, of course you have to explore Roppongi Hills! The whole complex is huge, bringing together shopping, dining, exhibitions, and recreational facilities. On my first visit, I really felt there was a lot to explore, and you could spend several hours just walking around inside.

The architecture and streetscape have a very modern, urban feel, and there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and stores nearby. When you get tired from walking around, you can find somewhere to sit down and take a break. It also feels different depending on the time of day. Once the lights come on in the evening, all of Roppongi takes on more of a Tokyo nightlife atmosphere.

What I was most excited about was the view of Tokyo Tower! The Roppongi area is already a popular place to see Tokyo Tower, and looking for different photo angles while shopping really gives you that Tokyo travel feeling.

If you're planning to visit the Roppongi Hills observation deck, Tokyo City View, you can explore Roppongi Hills at the same time and spend the whole day here from daytime until night.

The most eye-catching landmark is the giant spider sculpture "Maman" in front of the entrance, which makes for a very recognizable photo. It's actually more than just an office building—it also includes a shopping mall, restaurants, cafes, a movie theater, and other facilities, making it convenient for shopping and dining. Mori Tower is also home to the well-known Mori Art Museum and the Tokyo City View observation deck, offering sweeping views of the Tokyo cityscape.

Roppongi Hills has a really polished, upscale feel. You can shop, eat, and see exhibitions all in one place, and it definitely feels like one of Tokyo’s more high-end areas.
The view from the Mori Tower observatory at night is amazing. Tokyo Tower is right in front of you, and the whole atmosphere is just perfect.

Whether it's shopping, food, art, or entertainment, everything here is awesome!

The inside of the building is really spacious, and there are tons of shops. Perfect spot for relaxing and shopping.

There's a museum, a garden, and an observation deck. It's a great building to explore.

There are lots of art pieces on the streets around Roppongi Hills. The most eye-catching is definitely the giant 9-meter-tall spider.

You can get a 360-degree view here. It's an awesome spot to see Tokyo's night scenery.
