Roppongi Rag / 六本木 ラ ー グ

Named after a district in Tokyo (Roppongi 六本木) that is popular with western visitors to Japan. This is often where other expats new to Japan come to have fun and get tips on what to see and do in Japan. With that in mind, I hope to offer tips/comments/recommendations on a wide array of Japan items for other people travelling to Japan: sightseeing spots (main stream and off the beaten path spots) around Japan, fun cafes, hotels, restaurants, clubs, music, travel books, language tapes, etc.
