With a similar design and urban-planning blueprint to the one that made Roppongi Hills so successful, this sleek complex brims with sophisticated bars, restaurants, shops, art galleries, a hotel and leafy public spaces. Escalators ascend alongside human-made waterfalls of rock and glass, bridges in the air are lined with backlit washi (Japanese handmade paper) and planters full of soaring bamboo draw your eyes through skylights to the lofty heights of the towers above.
Behind the complex is Hinokichō-kōen . Formerly a private garden attached to an Edo-period villa, Hinokichō was reopened as a public park. The adjacent Midtown Garden is a cherry-tree-lined grassy space that makes a perfect spot for a picnic.
