The area also hosts a number of campuses of Universities and is not too far from Otemachi (お手町) where UBS also has it's offices.
Today they had a little festival going on. Jazz bands were playing on the streets and young designers showed off their work.
Coming from Zurich, I feel it's also worth mentioning that this was a gorgeous autumn day with yet again warm temperatures and sunny skies - just as October Saturday afternoons are supposed to be :-)
Later, I went over to 六本木 (Roppongi) area. Its one of the places in Tokyo that appears to be a bit more saturated with native and non-native English speakers than others. It's consequently rather attractive for the non-Japanese speakers hanging out in town. As a result a lot of expats and other 'gaijins' live there.
It's however also a hot spot for galleries, bars and clubs and therefore attractive for the regular fun-seeking (Japanese) Tokyoite.
Went to have dinner there at an excellent noodle restaurant called Tsurutontan (つるとんたん) that a friend showed me some years ago. Also found a number of new galleries and shops that haven't been around last time I was here...
