<p>If you hear the name “Roppongi”, you’re first thoughts are probably “it’s a place filled with clubs, bars and other entertainment that supports night life scene.”Despite this however, we took on the challenge of introducing you to the excitement that Roppongi in the day time has to offer.</p> <p>The place that our reporters Alisa Urahama and Tina Tamashiro covered for us today was Tokyo Midtown! Tokyo Midtown, is most famous for being a huge shopping facility filled with about 130 variety stores, but what most people don’t know, is that it is filled with an array of artistic hot spots. On top of major art spots such as the Suntory Museum of Art and variety design specialist DESIGN HUB that exist inside Tokyo Midtown, there are even more places that are filled with art work that keep popping up!</p> <p>The first piece of art that our reporters were met by was “妙夢” or “Strange Dream” in English. The girls were very eager to check out this artwork after hearing that they can peek into its big hole and be able to see Midtown from an interesting angle.</p> <p> </p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-436 aligncenter" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104527/All13-TOP.png" alt="" width="529" height="400" srcset="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104527/All13-TOP.png 529w, http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104527/All13-TOP-300x227.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 529px) 100vw, 529px"></p> <p> </p> <p>The handy item that supported our girls in their endeavours today was the “Yubikitasu Communicator”, which guides visitors through the 20 different pieces of art that can be found scattered around Midtown. It not only offers guidance in Japanese, but also provides support in English, French, Chinese and Korean.</p> <p>With the help of this communicator, our girls made their rounds around Midtown. The girls were continuously welcomed with new surprises, saying “Wow there’s even art here!”, where they’d stop for a few moments to check out the art work.</p> <p>As the girls made their way outside, they were introduced to a magical spot overflowing with greenery, which you wouldn’t think would be accessible in the heart of the city. It could undoubtedly be described as an”Oasis within the city!”</p> <p> </p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-437 aligncenter" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104614/All13-%EF%BC%92.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104614/All13-%EF%BC%92.jpg 600w, http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104614/All13-%EF%BC%92-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></p> <p> </p> <p>Even just roaming around the area feels so good. And theres no doubt that you’ll find yourself melting into the nature as you explore the art work that can be found here.</p> <p>After taking in the fresh air from outside, the girls made their way to DESIGN HUB!</p> <p> </p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-438 aligncenter" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104615/All13-%EF%BC%93.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104615/All13-%EF%BC%93.jpg 600w, http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104615/All13-%EF%BC%93-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></p> <p> </p> <p>The day reporters covered DESIGN HUB just so happened to be at a time they were preparing for the “2015 GRAPHIC DESIGN IN JAPAN” event that was due to start from June 19th, but due to the good-nature of our girls they were ushered in to get a sneak-peak of the exhibition.</p> <p> </p> <p><img class="size-full wp-image-439 aligncenter" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104616/All13-%EF%BC%94.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="400" srcset="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104616/All13-%EF%BC%94.jpg 600w, http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/japanese-jobs-production-wordpress/wp-content/uploads/sites/5/2017/12/19104616/All13-%EF%BC%94-300x200.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px"></p> <p> </p> <p>At this exhibition, 300 pieces from the works listed in the magazine “GRAPHIC DESIGN IN JAPAN” be displayed via monitors, with each of these being originals.

Not Only Seafoods! Various Fresh Ingredients Gathered in the Attractive Market “Tsukiji”
Tsukiji is known as the “Kitchen of Tokyo”. It is the Japan’s largest marine product market, and its products congregate all around from Japan.
Tsukiji is separated in two parts: one is called “Jyonai” where the bidding of the sea products are done, and another is called “Jyogai” where retail stores and restaurants are lined up. For the wholesale of Maguro (tuna fish), sightseeing customers are available to see the market, however it is reserved system and the reception starts from five in the morning! (The acceptance will be finished when the number of the costumers reaches a certain number). It is a rare event that you can’t see in your daily life, so be an early bird to catch the privilege of this event.
This time, “Learn Tokyo” first headed to the big shopping street called the “Uogashi Yokochou”.
It was originally a restaurant for people who work at the Tsukiji market, but now it is famous among sightseeing customers. Above all of the stores, “Yamato Sushi” is a popular shop that creates a long line. In a store filled with customers, Alisa ate a delicious tuna which melted in her mouth.
Then, we moved to the Jyogai market of Tsukiji. From early morning, this area is filled with sightseer from Japan and outside Japan! There are almost 400 stores. This year in November, Tsukiji Market will move to Toyosu, but the Jyogai market area will remain here and continue their business here.
Alisa dropped by the “Tsukiji Yamacho” at the Tsukiji Jyogai market. It is a Tamagoyaki, fried egg, shop from 1949. Tsukiji is famous for seafood products, but there are many fried egg store too!
It started off from selling to the sushi restaurants, and started to give out to normal customers too. Yamacho’s fried egg is sweet, but not too sweet, taste with dried bonito flavor spread inside one’s mouth. Alisa devoured the egg with grated radish. As you can see, she is fascinated with the taste!
At the Tsukiji Jyogai market, there are stores that serves bowl of rice topped with fresh sashimi and kaki shells baked in front of the customer. It is a good idea to wake up a little early to enjoy the bustling world in Tsukiji.
