Just like Roppongi Hills, Tokyo Midtown is another "city within a city" which opened earlier this year.

The small city contains office space, restaurants, food stalls and a ton O brand names.

The architecture is modern and fresh. Everybody seems to be well dressed but stink of perfume.

I can see how an Otaku would get bored here pretty fast what with no figures, Gundams or anime.

If you have time to kill, Midtown is probably a nice place to have a cuppa starbucks and read a good book while sitting on many of the benches dotted around the complex.

The place is full of brand named stuff. I only remember seeing Joseph. I'm not a brand name person myself but a lot of Japanese seem to be brand name slaves.

The typical interior of a Zakka shop. Zakka (雑貨(ざっか)) refers to the odds n ends that are needed (and sometimes not needed) around the house - cutllery, ornaments, furniture etc.

Was surprised to see Muji when I visited the UK (or was it uniqlo?)

There is a nice open garden at the back of the complex. Lovely for an afternoon cuppa tea.

Tokyo Midtown is a 15 min walk or a 5 min drive from Roppongi Hills.
Watched Transformers at Hills before spending the afternoon at Midtown.
We absolutely loved Transformers. I want more! If you want more too then get yourself along to the Blur Studio site - some footage that you may not have seen before. Was thinking about getting the game but saw many crap reviews.
