One of the best things you can enjoy in Roppongi is the fact that Tokyo Tower is quite near. If you go up to the top floor of Roppongi Hills building, you can enjoy the night view of skyscrapers in Tokyo for free. Of course, you will also have to see the illumination of Tokyo Tower if you are lucky enough. Personally, I believe where to eat and what to eat, these two are the most important factors to make good travel.

In my previous posting, I explained about Roppongi Hills area shortly. To summarize, Roppongi Hills was planned and made.

Some people who are born with curly and frizzy hair wish to straighten their hair. There may be another case well. In my case, I used to get my hair permed and become sick of it after few months. Then I got my hair straightened to refresh my feeling. For sure, this gave a critical damage to my hair even though hair at that time felt very silky.

However, already around 10 years passed since I had this experience. Japanese hair straightening technique has developed significantly and it is said that your hair will get little amount of damage. I am not saying it will rather make your hair in good condition. Doing ‘something’ to hair always brings some kind of damage.
