The Roppongi district of Minato Ward in the metropolis of Tokyo was lost during World War II. What kind of district was Roppongi before the war, what kind of history is buried there, and how was it developed to its present form? We will walk around and take photos while listening to explanations of the historical background and important people associated with the area.

In contrast to the Roppongi district, Azabu Juban, a downtown area in the heart of the city located about a 20-minute walk from Roppongi Hills, was a district where common people lived in the Edo period. Here, we will listen to an explanation of how Azabu Juban developed, and eat at three or four stores while listening to an explanation of Japanese common confectionaries and side dishes.
