Visit the downtown areas of Tokyo at night such as Japan’s No. 1 entertainment district of Kabukicho, and Roppongi known for its stylish view of the metropolis. At one of Tokyo’s prominently popular spots, the Shibuya scramble intersection, take in the spectacle of the soaring neon signs that you wouldn’t experience during the day.
One of Tokyo’s famous commercial areas. There are numerous stylish bars, restaurants and clubs so that you have a rich variety of places to choose from in this evening entertainment district.
Head up to TOKYO CITY VIEW, the rooftop observatory of Roppongi Hills. There is the spectacular night view of Tokyo Tower right in front of your eyes. The tower is illuminated from twilight deep into the evening and it’s recommended to see the town enveloped in the lights right at the beginning. The open-air observatory on the highest floor packs a wallop! Have your dinner within Roppongi Hills or in the surrounding area.
Places such as cabaret houses and pachinko parlors are all lined up here as you walk through Kabukicho, the entertainment district which is said to never sleep. Just walking and watching the gaudy neon signs is fun enough.
A drinking area with around 200 small bars squeezed in one corner of Shinjuku. It’s also popular for the atmosphere created by the retro neon signs. Have a drink at any of the bars you like while taking a break from the walk.
This is the famous scramble intersection located in front of Shibuya Station’s Hachiko Exit. The sight of the masses of pedestrians crossing all at once on the signal is overwhelming. The area is adorned in neon and other illumination at night so that you can enjoy this special spectacle that ups the showiness.
