Seventh place is Tokyo Midtown,Minato-Ku,Tokyo,Japan.
This is final place of Sakura 2015.
Tokyo Midtown is near from Roppongi Hills.
So visitors can go the same day.
But it is difficult to judge which place to go at twilight and night.
I chose to go Tokyo Midtown at night.
Because here are many Sakura trees and passing car lights.
Of course,here is also good during daytime.
This street is called Sakura do-ri(means Sakura street).
Here is curving and a little slope.
Building on the right is Tokyo Midtown.
Visitors can take photos from bridge.
Bridge is linked to entrance of Tokyo Midtown.
Sakura and Tokyo Midtown building. Looking up view.
Tokyo Midtown opened in 2007. Here are many shops,restaurants,Suntry museum,21_21 DESIGN SIGHT(Museum) ,The Ritz-Carton Tokyo,and big companies offices.
Modern design and Sakura.
There is many Sakura trees along road.
An architecture on the left is 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT.It is small museum.But it often holds unique exhibition.
Let’s go down slope along the road.
There were many LED lights under Sakura tree.They illuminate beautiful Sakura at night.
There was special cafe restaurant during Sakura period. Many visitors are enjoying food and beer or coffee.
There are many public art in Tokyo Midtown and Roppongi Hills.
This is Fragment No.5 by Florian Claar.
Beautiful petal are seen on the lawn.
This is a view from foot of a slope.Evening scene.
Here is also bridge from Tokyo Midtown.
I got back to top of slope to wait for twilight.
Then sudden wind scattered petal.
And this is famous composition.Beautiful Sakura and light track.
This beauty is made by collaboration of nature and technology.
Sakura and LED lights.

I walked again from foot of the slope to top.
Night scene is also good!
Information
I didn’t use tripod when I take photo from bridge.
I made use of hand guide of bridge.But to adjust height and angle,I used eraser.
I always bring eraser.It can make various height.And grip is good.
But on the ground,I used tripod.Many visitors were using tripods.
But please be careful not to disturb other people.
Here is out of building.
So, of course entrance fee is free.
