They share one connected underground concourse but a different set of street exits. For Tokyo Midtown and [The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo](https://www.trip.com/hotels/tokyo-hotel-detail-1503027/the-ritz-carlton-tokyo/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=roppongi-station-guide-exits&ref=nipponstays.com), take Oedo Exit 8 or Hibiya Exit 4a. For Roppongi Hills and [Grand Hyatt Tokyo](https://www.trip.com/hotels/tokyo-hotel-detail-688554/grand-hyatt-tokyo/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=roppongi-station-guide-exits&ref=nipponstays.com) (from ¥89,000, varies by season), take Hibiya Exit 1c, a 3-min walk through a direct underground passage. If your target is the National Art Center, Tokyo, the faster station is actually Nogizaka on the Chiyoda Line, not Roppongi at all — more on that below. *Some links in this guide are affiliate links. If you book through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.* Most English-language pages about Roppongi Station cover Exit 1c for Roppongi Hills and stop there. This guide adds the Oedo Line's Midtown-side exits, the exact distances posted on the station's own concourse signage, and the exit-to-landmark pairings you actually need the moment you step off the train. Of the 4 hotels covered in this guide, 3 are within a 5-min walk of a Roppongi Station exit and the fourth is a 10-min walk (checked August 2026). ## Roppongi Station: one concourse, two operators, shared exits Roppongi Station is really two stations that happen to share a name, a building, and a set of street exits. Tokyo Metro's Hibiya Line platform (station code H04) and the Toei Oedo Line platform (station code E23) sit on different levels but connect through the same underground concourse, so the numbered street exits — 1a, 1b, 1c, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, 5, 6, 7 and 8 — work for passengers arriving on either line. That is unlike Akihabara, where JR, Tokyo Metro and the Tsukuba Express each keep their own separate exit numbering; see our [Akihabara station exits guide](https://www.nipponstays.com/akihabara-station-guide-exits/) for that comparison. Walking between the Hibiya and Oedo platforms takes about a 4-min walk through the connecting concourse. The Oedo Line platform sits roughly 42 m underground, among the deepest in the Toei subway network, so budget extra time on escalators if you are changing trains with luggage. One mix-up to avoid: Roppongi-itchome Station (Tokyo Metro Namboku Line, N05) is a separate station about 800 m southwest of Roppongi Station, and there is no indoor transfer corridor between the two. If a hotel listing says it is near "Roppongi-itchome," that is a different platform entirely — do not plan your walk from Roppongi Station's exits. ![Escalator and stairs up to Exits 7 and 8 at Roppongi Station, signed for Tokyo Midtown](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/d8/c2d85794-51e9-4a95-82a1-758e73652b1c/content/images/2026/08/roppongi-station-escalator-exits-7-8-web.jpg) Exits 7 and 8 are the Tokyo Midtown side. The yellow sign at the top is the one to follow. Photographed by us. ## Which exit for your landmark: quick lookup The table below covers the exits that matter most for first-time visitors. Walk times assume a direct, uncongested path from the ticket gates. | Exit | Line | What's near it | Walk time | | ------- | ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | | Exit 1c | Hibiya | Roppongi Hills main complex (direct underground passage; closes 12:30 am) | 3-min walk | | Exit 8 | Oedo | Tokyo Midtown, basement level (direct connection) | Under 1-min walk | | Exit 7 | Oedo | Tokyo Midtown west side, Hinokicho Park, route to Nogizaka Station and the National Art Center | 1-min walk to 21\_21 DESIGN SIGHT | | Exit 4a | Hibiya | Tokyo Midtown, Suntory Museum of Art, 21\_21 DESIGN SIGHT | 3-min walk | | Exit 6 | Hibiya / Oedo | Roppongi Koban (police box), Roppongi 2 and 4-chome — the quiet side | Under 2-min walk | For a wider view of Tokyo neighborhoods and how Roppongi compares, see our [guide to choosing where to stay in Japan](https://www.nipponstays.com/how-to-choose-where-to-stay-in-japan/). ## Exits 1a to 3: the Roppongi Hills side (Hibiya Line) These exits sit on the southwest side of the station, opposite Tokyo Midtown. - **Exit 1a** — surfaces near Azabu Police Station, on the residential side of the crossing. - **Exit 1b** — comes up at Roppongi Hills North Tower, the office side of the complex. - **Exit 1c** — the one most visitors want. It connects to Roppongi Hills through a direct underground passage that stays open until 12:30 am and has an elevator, so it works for wheeled luggage. Grand Hyatt Tokyo, inside Roppongi Hills, is a 3-min walk from this exit — the shortest route of any exit at the station. - **Exit 2** — leads toward Roppongi 7-chome and Nishi-Azabu 1-chome, away from the main crossing. - **Exit 3** — comes up near Roppongi 6-chome, on the same side as Roppongi Hills but further from the direct passage that Exit 1c uses. ![Brass Ritz-Carlton plaque beside a glass entrance inside Tokyo Midtown](https://storage.ghost.io/c/c2/d8/c2d85794-51e9-4a95-82a1-758e73652b1c/content/images/2026/08/ritz-carlton-tokyo-entrance-plaque-web.jpg) The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo sits inside Tokyo Midtown — Oedo Line Exit 8 puts you in the same complex. Photographed by us. ## Exits 4a, 7 and 8: the Tokyo Midtown side — with the distances posted on-site The Oedo Line concourse on the Tokyo Midtown side posts a signage board with the kind of exact walking distances that rarely make it into English-language guides. Photographed in August 2026, it lists: Tokyo Midtown 30 m, Tri-Seven ROPPONGI 270 m, Suntory Museum of Art 300 m, the National Art Center, Tokyo 450 m, and 21\_21 DESIGN SIGHT 480 m, measured from the point near Exits 7 and 8. - **Exit 8** (Oedo) — connects directly to the basement level of Tokyo Midtown. This is the exit for The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo, which occupies the top floors of Midtown Tower within the same complex, and for the ground-floor shops and restaurants without stepping outside. - **Exit 7** (Oedo) — comes up on the western side of Tokyo Midtown, near Hinokicho Park and Akasaka 9-chome. It is a 1-min walk to 21\_21 DESIGN SIGHT and the starting point if you are continuing on foot toward Nogizaka Station and the National Art Center, Tokyo. - **Exit 4a** (Hibiya) — the Hibiya Line's route into the same complex, a 3-min walk to 21\_21 DESIGN SIGHT and Suntory Museum of Art through Tokyo Midtown's galleria. A common mistake: assuming Roppongi Station is the right stop for the National Art Center, Tokyo. It is walkable — about a 450 m, 6-min walk from Exit 7 or 4a — but the museum is directly connected to Nogizaka Station on the Chiyoda Line via that station's Exit 6, with no outdoor walking at all. If you are not already committed to the Hibiya or Oedo line, Nogizaka is the faster way in. ## Exits 4b, 5 and 6: the quiet side, and what the exit numbers do not tell you The remaining exits serve the less touristed side of the station, where several mid-range and budget hotels sit a bit further out. - **Exit 6** — surfaces at the Roppongi Koban (police box) on Roppongi 2 and 4-chome, a quieter stretch than the main crossing. - **Exit 5** — the starting point for the walk to APA Hotel & Resort Roppongi Ekihigashi, about a 6-min walk away. - **Exit 4b** — also serves the southeast side. One booking trap belongs here: Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo-Roppongi carries "Roppongi" in its name, but it is not a Roppongi Station hotel. It is built into Izumi Garden Tower and connects directly to Exit 2 of Roppongi-itchome Station on the Namboku Line. From Roppongi Station it is about a 12-min walk with no indoor route. If you book it, arrive on the Namboku Line rather than planning a walk from these exits. ## Which exit for your hotel Match your hotel to a station side before you land, and you skip the confused loop around the building that first-timers tend to make. - **Tokyo Midtown side**: Oedo Exit 8 (direct) or Hibiya Exit 4a (3-min walk) for The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo. - **Roppongi Hills side**: Hibiya Exit 1c (3-min walk, direct underground passage, elevator) for Grand Hyatt Tokyo. - **Station-front, budget**: APA Hotel Roppongi-Ekimae is a 1-min walk from Hibiya Line Exit 3, and about the same from the Oedo Line gates. - **Namboku Line arrivals**: Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo-Roppongi connects directly to Roppongi-itchome Station Exit 2\. Use that station — it is about a 12-min walk from Roppongi Station. ## Getting to Roppongi from the airports, and luggage tips Neither airport has a train that runs straight into Roppongi Station, so every route involves at least one change. - **From Haneda**: take the Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho, then change to the Toei Oedo Line to Roppongi. The full journey runs roughly 35–45 min door to door and costs about ¥800–1,200 depending on your IC card balance versus a paper ticket. - **From Narita**: the Narita Express (N'EX) to Tokyo Station, then the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line to Roppongi, takes around 90 min total and costs roughly ¥3,500\. The Keisei Skyliner to Ueno, then the Hibiya Line the rest of the way, is faster at around 70 min plus the transfer and costs about ¥2,580 — useful if your flight lands at a time when N'EX seats are scarce. Both the Hibiya and Oedo concourses at Roppongi Station have coin lockers, though sizes and availability are limited during the day. Tokyo Metro's online locker-availability tool covers Roppongi Station, so it is worth checking before you commit to a walk with a suitcase. Suica and PASMO work at every fare gate at the station, and wide-lane gates for large luggage are available at each barrier — look for the widened turnstile rather than the standard-width ones. ## Book a hotel by exit The four hotels below are all confirmed operating in 2026\. Prices are per-room floors as listed by major booking platforms; they vary by season, day of week, and how far ahead you book. | Name | Area / Exit | Price range | Best for | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | [The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo](https://www.trip.com/hotels/tokyo-hotel-detail-1503027/the-ritz-carlton-tokyo/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=roppongi-station-guide-exits&ref=nipponstays.com) | Tokyo Midtown — Oedo Exit 8 (direct) or Hibiya Exit 4a | from ¥127,600, varies by season | Top-tier luxury, direct Midtown access | | [Grand Hyatt Tokyo](https://www.trip.com/hotels/tokyo-hotel-detail-688554/grand-hyatt-tokyo/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=roppongi-station-guide-exits&ref=nipponstays.com) | Roppongi Hills — Hibiya Exit 1c (3-min walk) | from ¥89,000, varies by season | Luxury inside Roppongi Hills, shortest walk of any hotel here | | [Hotel Villa Fontaine Grand Tokyo-Roppongi](https://www.trip.com/hotels/tokyo-hotel-detail-737058/villa-fontaine-tokyo-roppongi/?Allianceid=9711325&SID=327049682&trip%5Fsub1=roppongi-station-guide-exits&ref=nipponstays.com) | Roppongi-itchome Sta.

Take the Toei Oedo Line's Exit 8, which connects directly to the basement level of Tokyo Midtown with no outdoor walking. If you arrive on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line instead, use Exit 4a, a 3-min walk through the same complex. The Ritz-Carlton, Tokyo occupies the top floors of Midtown Tower, part of the same complex both exits lead into. ### Which exit is closest to Roppongi Hills and Grand Hyatt Tokyo? Use Hibiya Line Exit 1c. It connects to Roppongi Hills through a direct underground passage that stays open until 12:30 am and has an elevator for luggage. Grand Hyatt Tokyo, inside Roppongi Hills, is a 3-min walk from this exit — the shortest hotel walk of any exit at Roppongi Station. ### Is Roppongi Station the right stop for the National Art Center, Tokyo? It works, but it is not the fastest option. From Roppongi Station, Exit 7 or Exit 4a gets you there in about a 450 m, 6-min walk. Nogizaka Station on the Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line is directly connected to the museum via its Exit 6, with no outdoor walking at all — take that station instead if you are not already committed to the Hibiya or Oedo line. ### Are Roppongi Station and Roppongi-itchome Station the same place? No. Roppongi Station (Hibiya Line H04 and Toei Oedo Line E23) and Roppongi-itchome Station (Tokyo Metro Namboku Line N05) are separate stations about 800 m apart, and there is no indoor transfer corridor connecting them. If a hotel or address lists "Roppongi-itchome," plan your walk from that station's own exits, not from Roppongi Station. ### How long does it take to change between the Hibiya Line and the Oedo Line at Roppongi? Budget about a 4-min walk through the connecting concourse. The Oedo Line platform sits roughly 42 m underground, among the deepest platforms in the Toei subway network, so allow extra time on the escalators, especially with luggage.
