Tokyo Metropolis - the most populous metropolitan area in the world

Our Hotel is located in Akasaka. This turns out to be an easy walk to the adjacent District of Roppongi.

Tokyo is a massive metropolis however at street level in the Akasaka neighbourhood it is surprisingly peaceful. The local streets are not hectic with vehicles and there are no emergency vehicle sirens or car horns at all. The main roads are busy but not choked with traffic.

Here are just a few shots of Tokyo at dusk taken from the top of Mori Tower (Roppongi Hills) to begin our Japan Blogs. 

Looking south towards Tokyo Bay and Haneda Airport

Rappongi neighbourhood


Below are a few more vistas of Tokyo as the sun sets over Mt. Fuji. Unfortunately we couldn't see Mt. Fuji on account of the low cloud and smog.

Towards Shibuya along Rappongi-dori Ave

Tokyo Tower begins to stand out as the sky fades and the city lights switch on
