Tour description

Welcome to this Free Walking Tour of Roppongi! 

Hello travelers! Get ready to discover Roppongi, a neighborhood where samurai history meets the modern and luxurious Tokyo.
 On this tour, we will explore ancient temples, towering skyscrapers and the most vibrant side of the city. Roppongi is the epicenter of art, architecture and nightlife, with a cosmopolitan energy that makes it unique. 

📍 Meeting point: exit A6 at Daimon station on the Oedo line. https://maps.app.goo.gl/DGQ2a1fPTEB5j7pN7  
⏳ Duration: 2.5 hours.

We will discover:
✅ Zojoji Temple, a historical temple with links to the Tokugawa shogunate.
✅ Tokyo Tower, the iconic red and white symbol that dominates the city skyline.
✅ Azabudai Hills, the futuristic new district that redefines Tokyo's architecture.
✅ Roppongi Crossing, the center of international nightlife and entertainment.
✅ Mori Garden & Roppongi Hills, a combination of nature, design and modernity. 

Throughout the tour, we will learn more about how Roppongi went from being a feudal area frequented by samurai and shoguns, to becoming a symbol of cosmopolitan Tokyo.
We will understand its transformation from a military neighborhood to one of the most dynamic areas of the city, home to embassies, major urban developments and a meeting point for locals and travelers. 

We will discover how Roppongi balances its traditional side with its more luxurious side and vibrant nightlife, famous for its world-class bars, restaurants and clubs. We will also explore its more relaxed side, with hidden corners and green spaces that offer a respite from the urban dynamism. 


🚶‍♂️ Join us and discover Roppongi's perfect balance of tradition, modernity and nightlife!🚶‍♀️
