Mori Tower - Roppongi - Tokyo, Japan

Some pics of the Mori Tower / building (situated in the Roppongi Hills District) and the surrounding area

It's a great place to hand around, to see & be seen.

Some views:





Construction OF THE TOWER started in 2000.
The architect is Kohn Pedersen Fox (US based).
 They did the Chifley Tower, in Sydney, and the Marina Bay Financial Centre, Singapore


 AS far as I know, this is all family owned. The Mori company was founded by Taikichiro Mori,
(an economics professor). He became the richest man in the world in 1992 with net worth of 13 billion.
(at the time Bill Gates was worth 3 billion).

Anyway, the main reason I visited was the art gallery. This was sadly closed.
However, the views from the 52nd floor are magnificent, and well worth the 20AUD ticket.




















bELOW is the National Art Center






cOUldn't resist.
A fitting final last Japanese meal 

Just like the pic
Cheers Terry.
