A popular concept of contemporary urban development in Japan, "cities within a city" are complexes of one or several buildings, consisting of shopping, entertainment and recreational facilities, offices, restaurants, hotels and residential space. It seems that in recent years, a new city within the city has been opened to the public every few months in another newly redeveloped district of Tokyo and other Japanese cities. Akasaka Sacas Opened: 2008 Location: Akasaka Akasaka Sacas centers around the headquarters of TBS, a national television network. It features various dining and shopping opportunities as well as residential and office space. Tokyo Midtown Opened: 2007 Location: Roppongi Station Tokyo Midtown offers residential, recreational and office space, the Suntory Museum of Art, various shops, restaurants, cafes and the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo hotel. Roppongi Hills Opened: 2003 Location: Roppongi Station A perfect example of a city within the city, Roppongi Hills features everything from residences to an art museum. Its centerpiece is the 238 meter tall Mori Tower. Shiodome Shiosite Opened: 2002 Location: Shimbashi Station A set of spectacular skyscrapers on the former site of Tokyo's railway freight terminal, including the headquarters of Nippon Televsion and many more attractions. Odaiba Opened: from around 1995 Location: Tokyo Bay A futuristic business, shopping, entertainment and residential district on a man made island in Tokyo Bay. Odaiba is home to Fuji Television, various theme parks, museums, shopping malls and more. Yebisu Garden Place Opened: 1994 Location: Ebisu Station Yebisu Garden Place was built on the former site of a beer brewery. A beer museum is among its main attractions. Any Questions?
