Cities within the city
 
basic information

A popular concept of contemporary urban development in Japan, "cities within a city" are complexes of one or several buildings, consisting of shopping, entertainment and recreational facilities, offices, restaurants, hotels and residential space.

It seems that in recent years, a new city within the city has been opened to the public every few months in another newly redeveloped district of Tokyo and other Japanese cities.

Location: Akasaka

Akasaka Sacas centers around the headquarters of TBS, a national television network. It features various dining and shopping opportunities as well as residential and office space.

Tokyo Midtown

Opened: 2007
Location: Roppongi Station

Tokyo Midtown offers residential, recreational and office space, the Suntory Museum of Art, various shops, restaurants, cafes and the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo hotel.

Roppongi Hills

Opened: 2003
Location: Roppongi Station

A perfect example of a city within the city, Roppongi Hills features everything from residences to an art museum. Its centerpiece is the 238 meter tall Mori Tower.

Shiodome Shiosite

Opened: 2002
Location: Shimbashi Station

A set of spectacular skyscrapers on the former site of Tokyo's railway freight terminal, including the headquarters of Nippon Televsion and many more attractions.

Odaiba

Opened: from around 1995

A futuristic business, shopping, entertainment and residential district on a man made island in Tokyo Bay. Odaiba is home to Fuji Television, various theme parks, museums, shopping malls and more.
