Tokyo Midtown
Opened on March 2007, Tokyo Midtown is another modern, urban complex featuring an extensive range of facilities, including shops, restaurants, a hotel, design facilities, art galleries, offices, residences, serviced apartments, and a medical center, all surrounded by greenery.
It is nearby (and similar) to Roppongi Hills, which I also wrote about recently.
The name was derived from the Midtown district of New York City.
The landmark Midtown Tower, the tallest building in Tokyo, houses the 5-star Ritz-Carlton Hotel, the Tokyo Midtown Medical Center and offices.
The Plaza provides a futuristic open courtyard surrounded by shops, restaurants and office buildings.
The Galleria is a modern, multi-story, high-end (ie. expensive stores) indoor shopping center …
… including a Preece grocery store, popular with tourist and expats.
The Oakwood Premier Tokyo Midtown and Tokyo Midtown Residences offers both serviced and non-serviced apartments.
The Midtown Garden surrounds the area …
… with the futuristic 21 21 Design sight exhibit hall.
There are many events held at Tokyo Midtown throughout the year, especially popular during cherry blossom season and …
… illuminations at year end.
Inside, the Galleria shopping center is also decorated with different floral arrangements during special events.

Looks great. I haven’t been there yet, though. I’ve only been to Roppongi once, too. That was 4 1/2 years ago.
Was in Midtown once 2 years ago for the Christmas illuminations – the big LED blanket on the ground above, and the LED “icicles”. Mostly it seemed to be a cross between office space high rises and upscale hotels, with a shopping mall.
I think their Christmas or Winter illuminations is one of the best one in Tokyo.
