Tokyo Nights

The Japanese are a hard working people who party even harder. It is absolutely not surprising that nightlife in Tokyo, which is the capital of Japan, is so lively and thriving. Nightlife in Japan and especially in Tokyo provides you vast range of options with regard to the places that can be visited for drinks and dancing after a grueling work. Tokyo nightlife offers you numerous drinking spots, the majority being concentrated in the Ginza, Akasaka , Shinjuku and Roppongi districts of the city. Tokyo is one of those cities that seem to be incapable of sleep and the Tokyo night clubs guarantee that whether it’s five in the evening, ten at night or five in the morning you’ll always have one open for you. Amongst the Tokyo pubs, you may enjoy the Bar Milwaukee with a very English look and feel and Hobgoblin or the Mogambo with its ethnic African décor. Another good place to stop by is the Charleston and Son's for a memorable night out in the city.
Night clubs in Japan are never hard to find. In fact, in Tokyo, night clubs come a dime a dozen and you are largely spoilt for choice from the La Fabrique, Seventh Haven, Ageha Dance Club, or the Watami. Try out the bar Ambrose for a speedy picks me up after work. There are quite a few western-styled Japanese night clubs which are highly favored by the tourists as well as the traditional nomi-ya for those who would desire to spend the evening the way the locals do.

Nightlife in Japan is not limited to only the bars. In Tokyo, there is a nightspot in more or less every corner of the city. Nightlife in Tokyo still mainly being a man’s world, also consists of geisha bars and hostess bars, both of which cater to a select rich clientele. In the geisha bars you have "geisha" girls who will entertain you with music, song and dance and also play some musical devices for you. At the hostess bars there are women who sit with customers over a few odd drinks and lend a receptive ear to all your anguishes. Sounding alien? Of course, they are! But this kind of a Japanese nightlife is not for a foreigner except of course, if he is initiated by a patron.
