Alongside Tokyo Midtown (coming soon on TokyoStreetView), Roppongi Hills is a new urban center designed to give a second life to the old and dirty Roppongi area. Completed in 2003, Roppongi Hills and its 238m high Mori Tower is far from having a glamorous past due to its revolving doors causing the death of a six-year-old child as well as 32 other non-lethal injuries. Roppongi Hills has also been at the center of further turmoil when Takafumi Horie, CEO of Livedoor was embroiled in fraud allegations in 2006. At this time both Takafumi Horie and part of his company were residing at Roppongi Hills.
Besides its rather unpleasant history, Roppongi Hills is famous for its shopping area, large selection of nice restaurants and its large esplanade where companies organize events all year long. It’s by no means the most exciting place to visit in Tokyo, however, Roppongi Hills does offer a stunning panoramic view of Tokyo from either its rooftop, the Sky Deck, or from the 52nd floor of the building.

Longeant le Tokyo Midtown, Roppongi Hills est un milieu urbain assez récent qui a vu le jour afin de donner une nouvelle vie à l’ancien quartier de Roppongi qui était beaucoup moins clinquant. Terminé en 2003, Roppongi Hills et sa Tour Mori de 238m sont bien loin de la réputation glorieuse espérée à cause du carnage causé par ses portes révolver qui ont pris la vie d’un enfant de six ans, et qui ont injurié 32 autres personnes. Le quartier fut de nouveau sous les projecteurs lors de l’affaire mettant en cause le PDG de Livedoor, Takafumi Horie pour ses actions frauduleuses en 2006. Une partie de sa société était implantée à Roppongi Hills pendant les faits.
Outre ces anecdotes plutôt déplaisantes, Roppongi Hills est réputée pour sa zone commerciale, sa collection de beaux restaurants, et sa grande esplanade animée toute l’année par des événement organisés par différentes entreprises. C’est sans doute l’endroit le plus attrayant de la capitale, notamment grâce aux vues panoramiques de Tokyo que proposent la terrasse du Sky Deck, ou son 52ème étage.
