ROPPONGI HILLS

"Roppongi Hills (六本木ヒルズ, Roppongi Hiruzu), also known as 'Artelligent City,' is one of Japan's largest integrated property developments, located in the Roppongi district of Minato, Tokyo."


In fact, it is a very expensive district in Tokyo - packed with designer stores.

MEIJI JINGU

"Meiji Shrine (明治神宮, Meiji Jingū), located in Shibuya, Tokyo, is the Shinto shrine that is dedicated to the deified spirits of Emperor Meiji and his wife, Empress Shōken. When Emperor Meiji died in 1912 and Empress Shōken in 1914, the Japanese people wished to pay their respects to the two influential Japanese figures. It was for this reason that Meiji Shrine was constructed and their souls enshrined on November 1, 1920."
