Tokyo Nightlife
Tokyo's mixture of neon and lamp-lit streets illuminate the city's vibrant nightlife. With plenty of bars and club nestled in Tokyo's back alleys, some stacked upwards a few stories high, even seasoned visitors can't run out of new watering holes. Nightlife distinctly varies by district; in Roppongi, you can dance the night away with locals in a mega club or sing your heart out in a karaoke booth. In Shinjuku, you can hop from one izakaya to another or explore the city's vibrant gay district. Alternatively, splash the cash at some of Japan's most illustrious and exclusive bars and lounges in Ginza. Tokyo is a playground, fit to accommodate any night that takes you.

Buri
This standing bar has more sake than you could drink in a lifetime. Let the bartender be your guide, although we suggest you give the frozen version a go. This place starts early and finishes late, so be sure to pace yourself if you want to go toe to toe with the locals. The grilled snacks should at least help soak up some of the booze.
