In this short clip, Makoto Hirose provides a quick glimpse of Azabudai Hills (麻布台ヒルズ), Tokyo's latest high-profile urban development. Situated in the heart of Minato Ward, Azabudai Hills has quickly gained attention as a modern architectural and cultural hub, integrating commercial spaces, dining, retail, and green public areas into one striking vertical cityscape.

Azabudai Hills is designed to be more than just a shopping complex—it’s a multi-purpose lifestyle space. The development emphasizes sustainability and green living with landscaped terraces, public plazas, and park-like features that offer urban dwellers a refreshing contrast to the surrounding cityscape. With retail shops, high-end residences, offices, a world-class school, and cultural facilities all built into one area, it reflects Tokyo’s vision for future-forward, integrated urban spaces.

This area is also conveniently accessible from major Tokyo landmarks, including Roppongi and Tokyo Tower, potentially becoming a new hotspot for both tourists and locals. Though this video is brief, it encapsulates the scale and sleek design of Azabudai Hills, offering viewers a small preview that may entice them to explore the space themselves on a future visit to Tokyo.

As Tokyo continues to evolve, Azabudai Hills is a prime example of modern Japanese urban planning, blending innovation with lifestyle needs in a stunning architectural environment.
