Tokyo Swan 20: Roppongi and Tokyo Tower

Throughout the Tokyo Swan video series, I have to say that this one remains one of my top 5 favorite episodes. I think it captures the whistful sense of just exploring the city and being with friends. And believe me, in a city like Tokyo there's so much to explore!

The highlights of this episode include walking around Roppongi Hills. Now, when most people hear "Roppongi" they think of an area of Tokyo that is famous for having many bars and nightclubs that cater to foreigners living in Japan. However, Roppongi Hills is a subdivision of Roppongi and is a very upscale and classy place with art museums, giant movie theaters, and so much more.

Also, we walked around Tokyo Tower, which was actually not too far from where I was going to school at Keio University. This is one of the most famous landmarks in Japan, and it really is quite impressive just to stand near it. Throw in some footage from lunch, and some ice cream in the base of the tower, and you've got an all around fun episode!
