It's a very crowded area even on the week day. Completely different from the rest of Tokyo, Roppongi is famous because of the pubs, discos, show events for foreigners.
As most of the bars and restaurants have English speakers, foreigners like being around. From everywhere, the meeting point is Roppongi.
The newest most famous building in Tokyo is called Roppongi Hills right close to the train station and many important foreigner companies have their office in that building.
Beside down there is a bar called Heartland, from the beer heartland they created this pub. DJ always does a good performance with western musics making the place looking like an european or american bar.
Dancers sometimes make the environment very different! They guys were pretty good and I wish I could see more...
Crowded inside, crowded outside...
People drinking, dancing, chating in many languages.
After 3am they move to other bars and discos. The one I went long time ago is called Muse (Amusement place) where you can dance, drink, play dards, billiard, table tennis, karaoke, huge! I've never seen so many different people in one place.
On Fridays, the place is so crowded you cannot even walk around.
And of course you see things you think doesn't exist in Japan :O
4:30am and you get tired? no... hungry. Then you have some ramen or shoronpo on the corner... in a standing bar.. which makes you feel desperate for a chair...
and in a uncomfortable seat you have a ... wine? no, a glass of jasmin tea!
In Japan, you can get an umbrella in any convenience store.
