Roppongi Hills (http://www.roppongihills.com/en/facilities/) is a self contained town within a building which consists of apartments hundreds of restaurants and shops, commercial office space, museums, movie theaters, an arena, and much more.

Mrs. Cheapy and I recently took a trip to visit the Tokyo City View on the 52nd floor.

Here are some of the pics (click the thumbs for full size image):

Great views. Probably one of the best places to see a large part of the city. Or a small portion of it...

Did you like Roppongi?

I stayed there when I went to TGS 05 last fall and I thought it was DISGUSTING.

There were so many rude gaijin and just lots of sleazy people in general.
I hope I never have to go back!

Roppongi Hills was very beautiful. I especially enjoyed the huge ammount of trees strung with blue LED lights. Very upscale place in Tokyo.

I've heard roppongi can be sketchy but is THE place to party. There's a story amongst my circle of friends about an evening at the Roppongi Gas Panic that was so wild all in attendance swore not to talk about certain "events." Even the associated video was destroyed before they left Japan! I never regretted missing out on a trip more than I do that one...

Must be pretty expensive to live there. Also, why is that place sketchy?

Thanks for sharing, Cheapy. It's neat to see how the other half of the world lives :)

Is it me or does that tower remind you of the one from Land of the dead?

The Tokyo Tower is still standing?

Did all of those Godzilla movies lie to us? I thought that thing has been ripped apart by giant monsters at least half a dozen times.

I know I'm a few months behind but thats amazing. I wonder how much a place in there is? Not that I would really want to stay there seeing as how everything is inside. I would NEVER, leave.
