## What is Roppongi Hills?

**Roppongi Hills** is one of Japan's largest mixed-use developments, in **Roppongi** (Minato). Developer **Minoru Mori** conceived it as a 'city within a city': offices, flats, shops, restaurants, a cinema, a hotel, a TV studio and gardens. Its centrepiece is the 54-storey **Mori Tower**.

For visitors, the highlights are the **Tokyo City View** observatory on the 52nd floor with panoramic windows and the **Mori Art Museum** of contemporary art on the 53rd. It offers one of the best views of **Tokyo Tower**, and on clear days of Fuji. At the tower's foot stands Louise Bourgeois's giant bronze spider **'Maman'**, one of Tokyo's most photographed sculptures.

> **Prices change with the exhibitions** According to the official site, the observatory price depends on the exhibition on the floor. From 13 November 2026 to 14 February 2027, an adult ticket costs ¥2,200 online and ¥2,400 at the 3rd-floor counter. On some days part of the deck facing Fuji is closed and tickets are discounted. The open-air Sky Deck rooftop is currently closed. Buy online — it's cheaper.

## How the complex works

Tickets are sold at the counter on the 3rd floor of Mori Tower, and a lift takes you up to the 52nd floor. **Tokyo City View** is open 10:00 to 22:00, last entry 21:30 — evenings are especially lovely, when the lights come on and Tokyo Tower is lit up.

The **Mori Art Museum** on the 53rd floor shows temporary contemporary-art exhibitions and stays open late. Until 28 March 2027 it hosts Mariko Mori's 'All That Shines': according to the official site, ¥2,600–2,800 for adults online, with combo tickets including Tokyo City View. Below are gardens, shops and restaurants, and the plaza with 'Maman'.

## What to see

- **Tokyo City View** — a panorama from the 52nd floor.
- **The view of Tokyo Tower** — the best shot in the evening.
- **The Mori Art Museum** of contemporary art.
- **'Maman'**, Louise Bourgeois's spider.
- **Mori Garden** with its pond at the foot of the complex.
- **Tokyo's lights** after sunset.

| --- | --- | --- |

## How long do you need?

Allow **45–60 minutes** for the observatory, or about 2 hours with the Mori Art Museum. Sunset is the best time: you see the city by day and in lights.

Nearby are **Tokyo Tower** and **Zojo-ji** temple; start the day there and finish here, looking down on the tower.

## Is Roppongi Hills worth visiting?

Yes: it has the best view of Tokyo Tower, and the Mori Art Museum is one of Tokyo's leading contemporary-art venues.

The YesGo take: the ticket costs more than Tokyo Tower, and the Sky Deck rooftop is closed for now. Check the price for your date — it depends on the exhibition — and buy online.
