Night Out in Ginza: Ginza
  • Tip Rating:
  • Ginza is the area where you will find the nightlife spots. There are many bars, cinemas and gambling places.
    When we visited Tokyo for the first time one of those gambling places burnt down. Over 40 people were killed, because of the lack of emergency exits. So please be carefull where to visit...

  • You absolutely must go to Roppongi at night!
    A good choice is to visit a typical Japanese pub.

    It is strange that Japanese are wearing dark suit in nightclubs, but probably they come straight at work

  • Tip Rating:
  • For nightlife I think Shinjuku is the place to be.Shinjuku is a city in itself and a very vibrant part of the city. Huge video screensm neon lights, clubs, pubs, shops abd restaurants everywhere.To get to Shinjuku take the Oedo subway line,Marunouchi line,Shinjuku line, or the JR line.
    The attmosphere is electric

  • Tip Rating:
  • Tokyo is a city full of vibe and energy and there's never a dull moment. For some late night action just head down to Roppongi, the red light district, where you'll find tourists and travellers from around the globe. This is a picture of the Ginza crossing at night, I have never seen so many people!

    Night Out in Roppongi: SALSA SUDADA * ROPPONGI
  • Tip Rating:
  • I finally got to a GREAT Salsa place in Japan! This smallish bar/nightclub was really rocking! The music was mostly Merengue and Salsa. The clientele seemed to be a fairly even mix of Japanese and foreigners.

    Entrance charge was 1500 Yen with a free drink.

    As little or a lot as you like :-)

    Night Out in Odaiba: When you see Tokyo at night...
  • Tip Rating:
  • When you see Tokyo at night you will see a Ferris wheel in changing colors and patterns. The wheel is located in Rinkai Fufutoshin ( Rainbow town) And the area has some of Tokyo's newest most modern areas. There is Joypolis , a gameroom with virtual reality games computer games and small roller coaster like games and plenty of other distractions . For more info on it you can go here :
    http://www.sega.co.jp/sega_e/atp/tokyo/home.html Next is 'The ride to the Future' , A 3d ride on a roller coaster in the dark. The funniest thing about the ride is when the Japanese workers at the ride go over all the warnings and instructions and you don't know what the heck they're saying you just nod and smile and they nod and smile and everyone hopes you're not missing and important piece of information that will send you flying off the ride. But it was a great ride. There is also Venus Fort http://www.venusfort.co.jp , a great new Mall of beautiful stores under a painted sky overhead . Well worth a trip. Also along the way to rainbow town you'll see impressive modern architecture, The Exhibition Hall, Maritime museum and a really funky building with a globe in the middle of it. Many other sites also. To get to rainbow town takethe 'Yurikamome' http://www.bigsight.or.jp/english/access/yurikamo.htm which is one of the newer transit systems in Tokyo. It Originates at the Shimbashi station which you can get to from the JR line. The Yurikamome has several stops tha let you off at different areas The last stop is Ariake. It' s best to go to the last stop if you want to see some of the fancy architecture then get back on the train and work your way back to the interesting places. The Line is not that big , much more like a monorail at Disneyland.Remember to bring plenty of Yen.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Roppongi district. Go to the out of the way bars with live bands or smaller disco's that cater to your individual taste in music and clientel. Stay away from Hard Rock Cafe, isn't there one in New York, London, Paris, L.A., Honolulu, Singapore etc., etc.?

    Night Out in Roppongi: I have no idea. I had one...
  • Tip Rating:
  • I have no idea. I had one night in Tokyo when I didn't have anything planned or already arranged, and I was determined to use this to sample the notorious night life of Roppongi for myself! I was newly single, and had a head full of images of cute Japanese girls just DYING to meet a blond, blue-eyed gaijin. But, I hadn't done my homework. I thought I could just zip over on the subway, jump out the exit and stroll to the nearest bar/club. I was wrong. What actually happend was I jumped out of the exit into an enormaous crowd of people in a massive interesction of pedestrian walkways, gleaming shopping malls and multi-lane expressways. This was NOT like the well-known bar areas of Soho in London (or, for that matter, Sukhumvit in Bangkok).

    I staggered in a disorientated fashion from intersection to intersection, trying to utilise my (dubious) radar for a good bar...nothing. Just plain office blocks and roads. Oh, and lots of touts for bars. Now, I never usually trust a tout, but after about 1 hour of aimless wandering I decided I was going to have to swallow my pride and go along with one of these guys. I picked one at random and he spieled the spiel...'Oh yes, nice club....cheap dring....lots of girl look for nice gaijin..' Well, I was led into one of the office-block type places, up a few flights of stairs and into the 'club'. I was the only patron. No, really...at 10.00pm or whatever I was the only person in the whole place. I had already paid for a ticket which entitled me to some free dinks...I sat, drank the drinks and listened to the (not bad) music. During that time, a small group of Japanese guys came in. I tried to engage them in conversation (given that it was just me and them in the whole place). They looked away nervously, but responded when the cross-cultural fave of footabll was mentioned. Then they left. I left soon after.....................................Next time I visit Tokyo (if I am still single, of course!), I will do my research or hook up with a like-minded buddy!
