I mentioned in the earlier notes that for you who do not like crowd, you probably should not visit Tokyo because everywhere you go, you will find crowd. Well, i was slightly wrong there. I finally found a place, that is not very crowded, right in the center of the city, Roppongi at Tokyo Mid Town.
I let my daughter pose for direction.
Take Hibiya Line to go to Roppongi and exit from Gate 7.8 to go to Roppongi, Tokyo Mid Town. It takes about 10 minutes from the platform to the shops & restaurants.
Even if you are not art lovers, I recommend that you visit Tokyo's two major museums, the Suntory Museum and the National Art Center.
For you who are more comfortable in an English speaking environment, Tokyo Mid Town is a place where you can stroll without worrying for signs in Japanese. It has everything from cinema, shopping centers, art, garden, a five star hotels all in the same area.
From Tokyo Mid Town you can take a stroll towards the Roppongi Hills (you can stroll underground if you do not like the hustle of Tokyo roads). Roppongi Hills is a popular residence for high profile expatriates. The residence has medical facility, five star hotels, a tower overlooking Tokyo, and has various restaurants and shopping malls for you to wander around. http://www.roppongihills.com/en/
Do not worry about the price of things, in Roppongi area you can have choices of lunch from as low as
290 Yen lunch, or as high as from 10,000 Yen per person. As for me, i go for a moderate, 3500 Yen, just in case.
For couples, there is a great news! At Roppongi Hills you can visit the Tower and have a great veiw of Tokyo from the 54th floor AND..... rent a private room for 30 minutes free of charge. You just have to make a booking when you arrive. I have no details on what the room looks like but it should have a magnificent view and a nice sofa bed, or else they won't call it the "Sweet Heart Room" for nothing.
Whereas for those (men) who come alone probably want to check out places like this one, Seventh Heaven. I can't give you much details since i only saw the sign.
For those who are not afraid of height you can go to the rooftop of the Roppongi Hills Tower and feel the wind of Tokyo.... the air is better than that of Shanghai or Beijing, i can quarantee. On a lovely sunny day you can have a full picture of Tokyo and see Mount Fuji as well.
