The Fascinating and Exciting Tokyo Night Life
Night life in Tokyo is a wonderful blend of adult entertainment or wholesome fun. It doesn’t even matter if you are alone or with a group, Tokyo is for everyone and the people are fashionable, hip, and more open-minded than you would imagine.
There are two kinds of night life in Tokyo: the girlie places which aren’t something you should want to visit because the alternatives are more enthralling. Tokyo has its gentler, more refined side where you are entertained by theater shows or theme parks. Food is glorious experience in Tokyo especially if you love Japanese cuisine.
Many of the restaurants around the tourist areas are expensive but should be tried at least once. Don’t just sample the sashimi and sushi but try some of the more exotic dishes like eel or sea urchin. Don’t worry about the appearance of the spiny sea urchins. You will only be eating the meat. Other must-try dishes that will make your night something to remember always are the raw horse meat and blowfish. The horse meat is very red and raw but quite delicious and one for the books. On the other hand, the blowfish is probably something you read about or heard in movies. It has a poisonous sac which can kill you in seconds, so if you plan on trying this, do go to a first class restaurant. This way, your chef will know exactly what should be removed entirely before serving.
There are always mini concerts and bands playing in clubs where one can go to either listen to the music or dance the night away.
If you would rather be in a theme park, Tokyo has its very own Tokyo Disneyland. It’s a thrill to be in a Disneyland and to see it all in Japanese/English signs is something worth developing a picture album for. Another place to visit would be Tokyo Disney Sea or the Sanrio Puroland where you can find the fabulous brand, Hello Kitty.
There are certain areas in Tokyo that can be dangerous at night like Uguisudani and Roppongi, so try to visit these areas during the day instead.
