Minato city in Tokyo, faces the Tokyo bay, and its residents’ income is ranked number 1 in Japan.
It has some of the most affluent residential neighborhoods in Japan, such as Minami-Aoyama, Shirokanedai, Azabu, Roppongi, Akasaka, Mita, and Takanawa.
Many high-rise apartments continue to be built here, and it is known as a high class, celebrity area.

Roppongi is very popular among foreign tourists for its many restaurants and being one of the famous nightlife areas of Tokyo.
However, if you go down an alley, you'll see the old downtown atmosphere, one of the reasons Minato city is so popular.
