Akasaka, a town with a high-class taste Roppongi, a prominent entertainment nightspot with international atmosphere.

Akasaka is located in a southern part of Tokyo. It is where the guesthouses and foreign embassies gather. It serves as a center for the international exchange where top-class hotels stand side by side, a political center adjacent to the Diet Building, Prime Minister's official residence and Nagata-cho, and an office town with TBS Broadcasting Center. High-class Japanese restaurants and night clubs bring people on the street for not only daytime but also nighttime. Also there are many spots to enjoy walking in the greenery, such as Hie Shrine, Toyokawa-inari Shrine and Hikawa Shrine.

Roppongi lies next to Akasaka and is where you see more foreigners than Japanese. Because of that, many places have international characters. Roppongi is also known for the prominent entertainment nightspot with markedly international atmosphere. The "Velfarre", which has the largest dance floor of all the clubs and discos in the country and popular "Hard Rock Cafe", are also in the area.
