Roppongi of museums and nightlife, with homes tucked inside the towers of Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown
The closest neighborhoods in the same city.
The area around Roppongi Crossing, where Roppongi-dori and Gaien Higashi-dori meet, is a bustling district—on Friday and Saturday nights, bars and nightlife spots line the streets. The 2000s redevelopment built Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown nearby, both of which include housing: Roppongi Hills has about 840 units (2018), and Tokyo Midtown has about 530. The Mori Art Museum in Roppongi Hills, the Suntory Museum of Art in Tokyo Midtown, and the National Art Center together make up the "Art Triangle Roppongi".
In this neighborhood, 96% of households live in apartments, and about 37% live in buildings of 11 floors or more. About 63% live alone, which is higher than for Minato City as a whole.
About 30% of Roppongi Hills residents are foreign nationals (2018). Residents, office workers, and shop staff pick up litter together around Roppongi Hills; a 2018 report said this happens once a month with about 150 participants. As of the 2026 Minato City page, it's still listed as a regular activity.
The exit on the other side of the ticket gates at Oedo Line Roppongi Station leads directly into Tokyo Midtown.
Tokyo Midtown and the neighboring Hinokicho Park together preserve about 4 hectares of green space. For neighborhood environment, this ranks 16th out of 395 neighborhoods in Tokyo, and it also ranks 21st for greenery.
For everyday shopping, it ranks 76th. For public transit, it ranks 40th; both the Hibiya Line and Oedo Line Roppongi Stations have ticket gates leading to Roppongi Crossing.
This neighborhood is mainly office and commercial: in 2020 about 47,000 people were here during the day, while only about 9,300 people actually live here. Population density is about 97 people per hectare.
Roppongi Crossing itself gets congested, Roppongi Station is crowded inside, and barrier-free routes are insufficient.
For healthcare, it ranks 84th, which is near the top. The Gochome Nishi block has narrow alleys and many dead ends, and a large portion is designated as a Sediment Disaster Special Warning Zone.
From the latter half of the 1960s, restaurants and clubs opened one after another in the residential streets outside the Roppongi hilltop area, transforming the whole district from a residential street into an entertainment district.
Before Roppongi Hills was built, Roppongi 6-chome was a district densely packed with wooden houses, with streets too narrow for fire trucks to pass through; it was designated a redevelopment area in 1990. About 500 households originally lived there, and Roppongi Hills opened in 2003—about 17 years from planning to completion.
Next up is the Roppongi Gochome Nishi district, about 9.2 hectares next to Roppongi Crossing.
According to the schedule Minato City submitted to the city assembly in July 2026, construction is set to start in fiscal year 2027 and finish in fiscal year 2032.

Hospitals with inpatient beds (2020 data), public elementary and junior high schools whose catchment covers this area, high schools and universities within 1 km, stations, parks of 1 ha or more, and large shopping malls and department stores. Many Tokyo junior high students attend private schools, so junior high catchments are only a guide.
Maps show the shops and the sights. What a street is like, you only know by walking it. TidyMap uses AI street imagery analysis and public facility data to turn each area's street environment and everyday convenience into something you can compare. Search an address and look at the street outside first.
How to read it: yellow = poor, blue = good; grey = not enough data
TidyMap rates the street environment and everyday convenience. It does not assess the home itself, safety, noise or actual living experience. Street environment scores use AI assessments of imagery; convenience scores use public facility data.
