Motomachi District: Hakodate - Romantic walks
Take a night walk around the Motomachi area of Hakodate in the cold air and walk up the slopes and enjoy the night scene

Take a coat or pullover with you to keep from the cold at night during spring time where it is about 10 degrees. The wind can be very cold.

    Rock Inn Bar Current: Rock N Roll Heaven!
    In Shinjuku, this pub is THE pub to be at. It’s the coolest rock n roll / metal bar ever and its owner, Sushi, is a downright legend. Many of your fave rock and metal bands have all stepped into this place and layed down their yen for a night of drunken madness. I love this place and highly recommend it. As a bonus, my mate Yugo guest DJ’s there a few times a month and that makes it worth itas he plays the best of the best music around. Not that this pub played anything different anyway. An awesome place that I visit frequently when in Japan and is often filled with absolutely gorgeous women that you don't have to pay big bucks to talk to.

    Wear whatever you want. Jeans and your favourite band's shirt, I guess.

    Sapporo Beer Garden: Giant Beer Garden!
    While I was in Sapporo, there happened to be a beer garden happening. I think there was some kind of festival going on and Sapporo is home to many of Japan's breweries. Several of us went there at least a couple of times. It was the largest beer garden I have ever seen!

    No special dress requirements.

    Selection: Nightlife in Tokyo
    Hit Velfarre, Vanilla, XCross.

    XCross is a small yet trendy Japanese club.
    Find invitations for XCross at Maimon (restaurant).

    Velfarre is above anything in terms of ambiance (people singing/screaming all together!), international DJs sets, interesting ticketing system to buy fluids, hilarious/psychedelic elevator experience!

    Vanilla is also huge, 3 rooms, all amazing, ceiling covered by blue fiber optics, great House musik, perfect spot to experience Japanese teenagers in action (chasing girls, dancing while sending text messages on their Mobile phones, etc.)!

    Most clubs have lockers.

    Shidax: Singing is fun
    If your going to spend a few weeks in Japan, one of the best things to do for a night out is go to a karaoke club. You pay a set amount for a couple of hours 2000yen which includes your own private room and as much as you can drink. Take some friends or even as I did go with some locals its a great laugh.

    No one should be naked

    The best places: Tokyo nightlife
    There are so many places to drink in Tokyo - as you would expect. The scene is very different from most places you might otherwise go to. I have identified a variety below:
    1. Outake Bar - near Ekoda Station on the Seibu Ikebukuro Line. It has Hoegarten beer on tap. You will generally only meet Japanese people here.
    2. The Hub - This is an English pub franchise in Japan. The best branches are in Roppongi, Shinjuku (several), and Hachioji. Jugs of beer are cheap, the food is ok, but its a great place to meet foreigners and friendly Japanese people.
    3. Basement bar in Ekoda - There is a really good jazz basement bar in Ekoda to take a girl. They have very reasonably priced beer and food. I recommend the squid.

    I've only encountered dress codes once in Japan - that was a Nagoya nightclub, but then I dont normally club. I was wearing a hat.

  • Address: Roppongi - Ikebukuro
  • Directions: Just ask or go to the Hub website. Better still go to a western pub or bar in Roppongi and get a copy of Metropolis Magazine - or online.

    Great club, 4 floors overlooking massive dance floor. Great lounge bar on 1st floor. always packed out on the weekends. Often afternoon and weeknight events. Mainly house, techno, tribal and drum and bass. Best light/laser show in Tokyo and biggest disco ball.

    Not too sure but maybe no sandals. Jeans maybe okay
