Ultimate Guide to Tokyo at Night
We answer some of the big questions - is it safe? What do I do if I miss the last train? Are there any decent nightlife spots for people who don't drink? Rest assured, that Tokyo is a huge place with a lot of options for every mood. "The city that never sleeps" isn't entirely accurate, but we're fairly confident that Tokyo is a "city that sleeps late and wakes up early to do it all over again." Read on to break down some of the must dos!
Raves in Tokyo: Japan's Underground
Now this might be about as niche as we get! Raves are pretty standard fare back in the west and you won't have to look too hard to find one. In Tokyo, however, it's a very different scene and somewhat still growing. While the events aren't necessarily "exclusive," they aren't widely advertised - meaning you'll need to know which DJs and event organizers to keep an eye out for because they will likely only promote their events on social media.
Ultimate Guide to Shibuya Nightlight
Everybody's heard of Shibuya by now, right? Scramble crossing, in every other Tokyo-set anime... Well, if you haven't, no shame and here's your starting point! Authored by a former host turned marketer, this special on Shibuya's nightlife is part exposé, part to-do list, part how-to-meet-people, and more!
