In the heart of Tokyo lies Roppongi, an emblematic district that embodies the festive, cosmopolitan spirit of the Japanese capital. This vibrant area offers a unique experience, blending effervescent nightlife with refined contemporary culture. From luxurious skyscrapers to trendy clubs and world-renowned art museums, Roppongi is a kaleidoscope of attractions that attract locals and tourists alike. Let's delve into the fascinating world of this multi-faceted district, where the party never stops and contemporary art rubs shoulders with Japanese traditions.

Beyond its reputation as a party district, Roppongi has established itself in recent years as the nerve center of contemporary art in Tokyo. The "Roppongi Arts Triangle" comprises three major institutions: the Tokyo National Art Center, the Suntory Art Museum and the Mori Art Museum.

The Tokyo National Art Center stands out for its bold architecture and large-scale temporary exhibitions. The Suntory Art Museum, located in Tokyo Midtown, presents an impressive collection of traditional and contemporary Japanese art. As for the Mori Art Museum, it offers exhibitions of contemporary Asian and international art, as well as spectacular views over the city.
