Roppongi's reputation abroad is nightlife, but the reason to come in daylight is art: the Mori Art Museum, the Suntory Museum of Art and the National Art Center sit within a short walk of each other. The Mori shares its floor with the Tokyo City View deck, so you get a gallery and a skyline in one stop. After dark, do not follow touts into bars.
Roppongi is one of the most foreigner-friendly districts of Japan, with many embassies located there, and a roaring nightlife as well. The bars and restaurants all cater specifically to the expat community and the district is composed mainly of elegant shopping malls, museums and immaculate residential areas (Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown) and gardens. It is one of the most developed cultural places in Tokyo, as it boasts of the National Art Centre. For a slice of the modern and sleek, Roppongi is a tourist's best bet in Tokyo.
