This year, the Roppongi Photo Walk started at the Haiyuza Theatre Rehearsal Center where a lecture was given. This is a place that is not usually open to the public. Then, everyone went to the International House of Japan and enjoyed the Japanese autumn garden in the middle of Roppongi 5-chome.

The second half of the walk started with the Keyakizaka illuminations and the participants took advantage of this special season to get that special photo that was worth keeping. We also lent out cameras for the event (Fujifilm mirrorless camera) so that everyone could get the best out of this event. From children to elderly people, they snapped their cameras to capture something new about Roppongi.

Looking at the participants photos, once again, we could see that everyone had enjoyed the event and we were happy that they were able to express their original vision of Roppongi.
