On the streets of Roppongi.....

The Tokyo Tower. This tower was modeled after the Eiffel Tower in Paris, but it taller. It's a tourist trap, but is also used for communications.


Not eating "American" food for quite some time, we thought we stop by the Hard Rock Cafe in Roppongi. (and yes, it's pretty much like any other Hard Rock Cafe!)

Another evening, Joe and I went with two other dentists to eat dinner in Shinjuku. This is one of the largest subway stops in Tokyo. We went to a mall (mind you, it was a mall with 15 floors!) and ate at a garlic restaurant. It was delicious!
Couldn't resist taking a picture; could resist eating one.

Tokyo - City life & dining out
One of the first meals we had in Tokyo was okonomiyaki. It was GREAT!
They actually made the okonomiyaki and brought it to our table; it's on a heated skillet there. Joe had a pork and yam one, and mine was shrimp, squid & pork.
Afterwards, they gave us these little crunchy sticks (kind of like Cheetos). We saw so many people posing for pictures like this, Joe thought he would give it a try!
Another evening we headed to Roppongi. This part of Tokyo is known for having a lot of embassies and its nightlife. We tried to get to the top of this tower (Roppongi Hills Tower), but it was way too windy.
