TOKYO, May 15 (Xinhua) -- With Tokyo Tower in the background, the rooftop garden at Roppongi Hills complex in the Japanese capital drew around 160 urban workers and local residents into rice planting.
Sixty children, assisted by adults, stepped into the muddy rice paddy and learned how to plant rice seedlings at the high-in-the-sky garden that is some 45 meters above the ground.
