Tokyo's nightlife is unlike anywhere else - neon-lit, dense and endlessly varied, from microscopic Golden Gai bars to multi-floor Shibuya clubs and the international scene in Roppongi. It rewards exploration, and the trains-stop-at-midnight rhythm means many simply party until they restart at dawn.
The party scene
Womb in Shibuya and the waterfront Ageha are the landmark clubs; Roppongi holds the international bar-and-club scene; Shinjuku's Golden Gai is a warren of tiny themed bars; Kabukicho is the neon nightlife quarter. When the trains stop at midnight, the night just keeps going till they start again.
When to go
Year-round. Cherry-blossom spring and the cooler autumn are the most pleasant; the city's nightlife runs regardless of season.
