Roppongi the nightlife district. Much more pretty during the night tho. The Highway with the sign Roppongi Roppongi is one of the famous landmarks in Roppongi and a common meeting spot. The Street you just came from is part of the famous nightclub area. There are several of bars, restaurants and clubs. I would put this area more in the Hip-Hop area while Shibuya and Shinjuku are more Mainstream.
