“Is this Japan? Where am I?”

9 years ago  /  by Alex
Roppongi is known as the "Foreigner district" within Tokyo. You can find all sorts of western food around here, along with lots of kebab joints. Daytime is alright. Things feel normal, safe. When night falls Roppongi turns "Seedy" for lack of a better word. I went here with the intention to go clubbing once. I quickly changed that idea. The streets are dirty (For Japan) and full of touts trying to pull you into their ripoff bar or strip joint (Which will also apparently rip you off). It does not feel like Japan. I have been to a few bars here are they are okaaaaay. But nothing special. But if being in the company of 30 drunken expats is your idea of fun, then maybe Roppongi will suit your tastes a bit better. Perhaps I need to explore Roppongi more. But perhaps I don't really want to. PS. If anyone tries to get/drag you into their bar/club, its probably awful and you're in for a bad time.
