National Art Center Tokyo - Roppongi

Roppongi is a suburb of Tokyo situated on a hilly area with great views of the Tokyo CBD.





You can see the Ginza district and the old Tokyo Tower from there.


If you have limited time in Tokyo, this is a great place to go to get your bearings.

Highly recommended are the National Art center (NACT) and the Mori building.







Address:
7 Chome-22-2 Roppongi, Minato City, Tokyo 106-8558, Japan.


Website:
https://www.nact.jp/english/

The NACT is probably Japan's largest museum


 The building is made up of seven enormous column-less display rooms. 





Architect: Kisho Kurokawa.
He is one of Japan's leading architects and is one of the founders of the Metabolist Movement (along with Kiyonori Kikutake,and Fumihiko Maki )which fuses architectural structures with organic biology.
 

Metabolism (/məˈtæbəlɪzəm/, from Greek: μεταβολή metabolē, "change") is the set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms..... leading to renewal & organic growth.
