Roppongi (六本木, lit. "six trees") is a district in Tokyo that is well known as the city's most popular nightlife district among foreigners, offering a large number of foreigner-friendly bars, restaurants and night clubs. Roppongi and the surrounding districts of Azabu, Hiroo and Akasaka are home to many embassies and a large expat community.
Two of Tokyo's largest recent redevelopment projects, Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown changed the district's face in the 2000s and expanded Roppongi's appeal to a wider range of visitors and residents with their elegant retail, business and residential space and luxury hotels.
Thanks to the appearance of several art museums, Roppongi has also developed a reputation as a cultural center. The National Art Center is one of Japan's largest art museums, and together with Roppongi Hills' Mori Art Museum and Tokyo Midtown's Suntory Museum of Art form the "Art Triangle Roppongi".
