Dive into the whirlwind of Tokyo by night, experiencing its unique bar culture as you hop between ramshackle izakaya bars and standing tachinomiya taverns - it won’t be long before you’re cheering ‘kanpai!’ with noisy locals over cups of sake.

Discover that Japanese drinking culture is more about the food that goes with those drinks, as your host effortlessly orders plates of grilled gyoza dumplings and karaage (Japanese fried chicken). Then, you could throw yourself into your private booth in an ultra-modern karaoke bar from tiny yokocho (alleyways), which makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. 

Where you’ll go all depends on your style! From glitzy Ginza in the heart of Tokyo, with its sleek cocktail bars and the Kabuki-za Theater, where you could catch a traditional Japanese dance performance, to Roppongi, the buzzing nightlife district which is known for its all-night karaoke bars (and the 24-hour ramen joints you’ll need to visit afterward!), Tokyo has a neighborhood for every mood.

Shinjuku is a maze of yokocho - lantern-lit alleyways bursting with quirky izakaya - and you could spend your whole night in  Omoide Yokocho or break away from the sake and snacking to hit Ebisu, Shibuya, or Ikebukuro, which all become a kaleidoscope of LED-lights after dark.
