Tokyo’s Roppongi neighborhood is known for its rather split personality: it’s home to luxury shopping centers and high-end art museums—such as the Mori Museum of Art and the Tokyo Midtown complex—as well as a raucous nightlife scene catering to all budgets. It’s especially popular with tourists and expats as there are many international embassies here.

Roppongi is only about 2.4 miles (4 kilometers) southwest of Tokyo Station, but traveling between the two can take longer than anticipated because of the need to change train lines; there’s no direct rail or subway link. To get to Roppongi from Tokyo Station, take the Tokyo Metro Marunouchi line to Kasumigaseki, then transfer to the Hibiya line to reach Roppongi.

Yes, like the rest of Tokyo, Roppongi is safe for tourists. However, the area is known for its raucous nightlife, so if you’re planning on drinking alcohol, it’s important to stay aware of your surroundings and have a plan for how you’ll get back to your accommodation. Roppongi is notorious for scams, especially those involving touts and inflated drink prices, so keep your wits about you.

By day, Roppongi is reasonably family friendly. Kids may enjoy heading up the Tokyo City View Observation Deck and exploring the galleries and museums, especially the Mori Art Museum. At night, Roppongi isn’t the most child-friendly area as there are many bars, and it’s also known for its sex work. However, there’s no reason to avoid Roppongi at dinner time and there are many good restaurants.
