Roppongi and Tokyo Tower

For lunch I met very nice friends of other friend... haha... that's how you meet new people ;) haha...
 
Since one of them was Japanese she took us for a nice Japanese food, okonomiyaki, which you can prepare by yourself on the grill which plate you have on your own table.


Since the day was "still young", we walked from Shibuya to Roppongi which is a famous quarter for clubs and exclusive restaurants. We reached Roppongi hills for sunset. I highly recommend to see it when it is dark!

On the way home to save money, we walked to JR Yamonote line (JR is cheaper then metro!!!), however it started to rain and as on the way was Tokyo Tower we spontaneously decided to go up!!! :D

Tokyo Tower is 333 meters high and it used to be the tallest structure in Japan. With its shape it remind of Eiffel Tower in Paris, however is 13 meters taller and weight 3,300 tons less than the Eiffel Tower. Even if other towers on the world have surpassed Tokyo Tower's height, the structure is still the tallest self-supporting steel structure on the world!
 
In general, we didn't save money that way, but we got a great view of Tokyo by night and didn't get sick because of heavy rain ;) I think it was a good deal as well!

Thank you for a nice day! :)
