A day we like

Neon & Noodles: Roppongi / Azabudai Balanced Day

Start here, then adjust the walking, weather, family needs, or pace.

Big energy, skyline moments, and a lively finish. Starting around Tokyo City View and ending near Suntory Hall, this route stays mostly in Roppongi / Azabudai so more of the day goes to exploring, not crossing town.
