Roppongi is one of the most important business areas in Tokyo and well known for its nightlife. With its skyscrapers built not so long ago, the town in its self is relatively new. The two main landmarks for Roppongi are Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown. These two large-scale commercial facilities include business offices, hotels, museums, and shopping malls.
