Roppongi, Akasaka & Around


South Korean artist Choi Jeong-Hwa designed the dazzingly colourful robot-themed sculptures and play areas in this kids' park that's part of the Roppongi Hills complex. If you're travelling with young children they are sure to love it, and it's a pleasant splash of greenery in an otherwise fairly concrete area.
