About this audio guide
This guide to Tokyo City View at Roppongi Hills starts on a March morning in 2004, when a six-year-old boy named Ryo Mizokawa walked toward the tower's sleek revolving doors below the deck you're standing on. From there it traces what Mori Building had quietly changed about those doors, and the safety record building up around the tower in the year since it opened. Listen for the view through the glass wall: Tokyo Tower first, then Mount Fuji on a clear day.
