Mori Art Museum & Roppongi Hills
Contemporary-art museum atop Roppongi Hills with a city-view observation deck.
The call
Worth it if you are traveling as a couple and you are traveling solo.
Why
- 01
A strong rotating programme of contemporary art near the top of a tower, with a combined ticket to the Tokyo City View deck — art plus a skyline in one stop, open late.
Our read - 02
The catch: it's exhibition-dependent (a show you don't care about makes it a pricey view), and Roppongi at night can feel like a touts-and-bars district.
