Tokyo Nights

Tokyo by day is a dizzying commercial metropolitan. Shopping gurus will have the time of their lives. To describe the city as “bustling” is an understatement. Tokyo by night, however, is not a tame sight. As the sun disappears and the giant neon lights glitter, Tokyo becomes animated. The Tokyo nightlife is an exciting experience. To see the best of Tokyo nightlife, the best areas to go are in Roppongi, Ginza, and Shinjuku.

In Roppongi, the most interesting clubs to visit are the Café Magambo, the Bar Milwaukee, and the Bauhaus. The Café Mogambo is an African-themed bar which is perfect for tourists who wanted to have a break from their Japanese immersion tour. The Bar Milwaukee is an English Pub that features games such as darts, pool, and foosball. And the Bauhaus has a Japanese band that performs the American 70′s songs. Roppongi is obviously a place for the Gaijin or the Westerners. And to locate a good hotel in the area, you can use our convenient booking map. Some of the popular hotels include the Roppongi ANA, the B Roppongi, the Roppongi Prince Hotel, and the Grand Hyatt. You might want to avoid booking a hotel that is just a stone’s throw away from the Roppongi Hills, a sprawling shopping complex.

If you don’t want to experience Tokyo nightlife with too many gaijin around you, you can stay in the Shinjuku area. In Shinjuku, you can find the Kabukicho, a red-light district. But foreigners, by themselves, should not walk the streets of Shinjuku without a local guide. It is not the friendliest area, although there are numerous hostess bars. Needless to say, there is no compelling reason to stay in a hotel right on the street of Kabukicho. Using our booking map, you can find safer hotels in areas such as the Ginza. In Ginza, you can find more socially-acceptable activities at night, such as watching concerts.
