Night Out in Shinjuku: Shinjuku. If you can find it...
Shinjuku. If you can find it (very improbable), there is a nice jazz bar called simply 'J' which I enjoyed. Shinjuku is where Japanese people go to play when they don't have enough money to spend in Ginza. It's also where most of the biggest hotels, banks and department stores are.

Foreigners are always excused for being foreign, so you can wear whatever you want. But if you want to really fit in, presenting a neat appearance is best. Business suits are totally OK, too.

    Night Out in Shinjuku: Shinjuku Nichome
    Nice small little place. One of the few gay bars that welcome non-Japanese speaking people. Oh, and 7.30pm to 9pm, Y1000 gets you free flow of beer.

    Night Out in Shinjuku: Yakitori Bar in Shinjuku
    I am honoured that I am the first VTer to recommend Motsunikomisenmonten Numata. It really is a great place to experience your first night in Tokyo! It was Saturday night and the "bar" was packed with both young people and businessmen. Around 20 minutes walk from JR Shinjuku West Exit, Motsunikomisenmonten Numata is a yakitori bar has 55 years of history located just outside Metro Shinjuku Sanchome C3 Exit. I was flattered when all the staff greeted us loudly by saying 'irashimasu', I felt like I had to say something back and didn't know what without looking stupid! We found a cozy spot in the corner, the menu is written on the wall in Japanese. Fortunately, there was a waiter who spoke perfect English. He was surprised when I told him I didn't want to have organs. Later I found out that this bar is specialised in pork and organs. We had green peppers, mushrooms and a few grilled pork meat. The mushrooms were aromatic. I looked around and wanted to try something more adventurous. I took the courage to ask the waiter to order something for us. I said 'organs is fine, just bring it all on'!! :-) We had 3 more skewers and they were delicious and it just looked like meat!! With a beer in hand, I was overwhelmed by the smoke, the noise, the language that I didn't understand. I knew I would miss that night when I am in Hong Kong on a Friday night.

    Night Out in Shinjuku: The P*i*s*s Alley
    Shomben Yokocho aka p*i*s*s alley is not actually an alley but it's a small area of ramshackle huts and restaurants located between the train tracks and the side of the Odakyu Department Store. It's bustling at night with businessmen who enjoy coming here for a beer and yakitori (skewers). The yakitori bar I went to was located next to the train track. We just wanted to sit down and have a yakitori or two but ended up ordering a little bit more than we planned to. The food was good and 'recognisable'. I would say it's better to my taste here than in Motsunikomisenmonten Numata. We had normal stuff like 'chicken wings' and 'chicken meat balls'. In a yakitori bar, they will always give you a small dish (mostly vegetable pickles) and charge for that, it's around 300-500 yen depending on where you go to.

    Casual.

    Night Out in Shinjuku: An English night in Tokyo
    Unfortunately I couldn't go out at night due to our busy tour scheldule, but I found this pub which I used to go to when I was living in Canada. A nice place to eat, drink and meet new friends.

    Casual but no sneakers, at least in Canada.

    Night Out in Shinjuku: Shinjuku at Night!
    Shinjuku is crazy at night! The place is full of people, bright flashing lights and people enticing you to try their club or restaurant. There are so many choices and you could go back every night and still find the place to be endless fun! You do have to be careful to check what the cover price is to enter bars and clubs as some charge huge amounts of money!

    Night Out in Shinjuku: Kabuki-cho
    Located near the Shinjuku JR station, Kabukicho is an entertainment and red-light district in Shinjuku. The area is full of hostess bars but it's not really in your face like Amsterdam. An interesting place to walk around at night and perhaps if you feel a bit cheeky, there are lots of adult shops around too.

    Night Out in Shinjuku: Bright Lights in the Big City
    Shinjuku is one of the most interesting places in the world at night. And I can say that without having even entered a bar there (I've only been there alone). The crowds of people wandering through the streets and the bright lights make Shinjuku a visual feast that cannot be passed up. If you are hungry, there are plenty of fine restaurants -- I ate at a sushi placethere that was delicious. If you are thirsty, there seeem to be plenty of great bars that I can't wait to try. And, if you want to see naked women, there seems to be plenty of that, too. Just find an African tout and he'll lead you to his favorite place! I'm sure of that, since they hounded me constantly being a guy alone.

    Night Out in Shinjuku: Kabuki cho
    Kabuki Cho is the Red Light District. If you dont know this, you may not even notice. Or maybe that is just me. I walked around this area that is supposed to be soapboxes, stripclubs etc. But mostly I saw restaurants, noodle shops, some ice cream, and gambling. So I can't give you my impression of the sex scene, but if you land late and want something to eat, or to play patchinko latenight, this is the place.

    Night Out in Shinjuku: Red light district
    Wow, men's heaven? Have no idea. Since my girl friend didn't allow me to go near. Just took a photo from far.

    Dress like a richman when you are "outside". No dress is required when you are "inside". :)
