After yet another day of classes, I decided to tag along with Nami and Pinky to visit Roppongi. It was their first time and my second, but I was sure I'd see different things than the first time there. After a somewhat long ride and another million stairs I had to climb to get out of the Roppongi station I made it back to the streets of Roppongi near the Roppongi Hills (department/mall).
Instead of walking along the various streets the girls specifically came to check out the mall as a whole, to see what's there. On our way to the mall, perhaps 100m within distance of the entrance the familiar red and white sign of a Cold Stone Creamery caught our eyes and we decided to wait in the around-the-corner line to get some delicious ice cream.
After we devoured what little ice cream they gave we walked over to the mall to see what there was to do. Walking around, we found various little shops and restaurants and a few interesting sights. First of which was a giant metal spider in the middle of an open area of Roppongi Hills. Once we took a few pictures with this beast of a bug we came across a movie theater, a small art gallery, and a few other sights.
Waling down the back of the complex we spotted a nice groomed park-looking patch of grass with a pond and waterfall, where we took some nice pictures and relaxed. Next to this nice little greenery was the Asahi Television studio who is famous for shows such as 'Power Rangers' and 'Masked Rider'. Just down the strip of this studio was a small little shop that was very, Hawaiian. To my surprise I thought it'd be just another Japanese-owned knock-off Hawaiian store in the middle of Japan, but when when I peaked inside, to my surprise I saw a Hawaiian inside. Haha!
When I got home it was about time for dinner so we walked over to the nearest super market to pick up some groceries to make some good home-cooked donburi's.
