Roppongi and Akasaka are the heart of Japan’s political and business world. They’re also very close to each other. After a meal in Roppongi, I went over to Akasaka to take a look at Akasaka Sacas, a complex that recently opened there.
Flower beds in Roppongi
The flowers are beautifully tended.
The shade of the trees is where office workers take a break ^_^
Over at Shinagawa Intercity they went as far as building a whole forest.
Arrived at Akasaka Sacas. But, well… it’s pretty ordinary. Buildings with this mixed residential-commercial concept are going up everywhere. Does it mean the property market has picked up again…
Some event was going on. Was it K-1?
The guy on the screen is Masato, a famous martial artist.
Nice physique.
Maybe I should have taken up martial arts too.
The park behind the Prudential Tower in Akasaka
The quietness feels very Tokyo.

Maybe because it’s a neighborhood with a long history, there are a lot of distinctive buildings.
The view from Hanzomon
It’s amazing that a place like this still remains right in the middle of Tokyo. It must be because of the Imperial Palace.
