Roppongi Hills Mori Tower, Mixed-use skyscraper in Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan.
The Roppongi Hills Mori Tower is a 54-floor high-rise in Roppongi, a district of Tokyo in Japan. Standing 238 meters (781 feet) tall, the structure combines office space, shopping areas, restaurants, and viewing platforms under one roof.
Kohn Pedersen Fox and Mori Building Company finished construction of this tower in April 2003 after three years of building. The project was part of a larger urban development that reshaped the neighborhood.
The building houses a major art museum on one of its upper floors, where rotating exhibitions of contemporary artists from around the world are shown. Visitors come here to experience current trends in modern art in a setting that combines business life and leisure offerings.
Visitors can walk about five minutes from Roppongi Station on the Hibiya Line or about ten minutes from the Oedo Line to reach the entrance. Plan time for security checks before accessing the upper floors.
The observation deck near the top is one of the few platforms in Tokyo with no glass walls, allowing direct contact with the outside air. On clear days, Mount Fuji appears on the horizon.

Tokyo offers photographers a wide range of subjects, from centuries-old temples to modern skyscrapers and maintained gardens. The city combines traditional Japanese architecture with contemporary urban design, creating environments that shift throughout the day. Sites like Senso-ji Temple in Taito and Meiji Shrine in Shibuya present religious structures amid urban settings, while Tokyo Skytree in Sumida and Tokyo Tower in Minato provide elevated city views. The city's different districts showcase varied aspects of Japanese culture. Harajuku and Akihabara Electric Town in Chiyoda represent modern youth culture and technology, while Omoide Yokocho in Shinjuku offers a glimpse of postwar dining alleys. Parks including Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden, Yoyogi Park, and Chidorigafuchi Park provide seasonal photo opportunities, particularly during cherry blossom season. Shibuya Crossing demonstrates urban movement, Nakameguro Canal offers waterway perspectives, and locations like Hamarikyu Gardens and Imperial Palace East Gardens show traditional Japanese landscaping. From the observation decks of Roppongi Hills Mori Tower and Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building to the street scenes of Takeshita Street and Ginza District, Tokyo serves different photographic interests.
