Going to Japan alone, what to do? nightlife & tourism

zachary · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hi, I'm planning to go to Japan sometime later this year 2008, I cant get any of my friends to go with me so I'll most likely be alone, can you give me any tips about some good nightlife spots where I can meet some nice friendly people?

Other than that, what are some great places, aside from the mainstream tourist spots to hitup?

Any advice will be appreciated a lot

Thank you

Where in Japan are you planning on visiting? If it's Tokyo that's where I live so I can help out.

For nightspots and to find out what's going on, check out this online Tokyo magazine. It has a classifieds section that gives you lots of good info about bars, restaurants, events, nightclubs, etc. Metropolis - Japan's Number 1 English Magazine

Hope it helps : )

Where are you going, for how long and what are you interested in?

Hi UKTokyoite and Godwine, thanks for your replies, I'd like to go sometime within the next couple months, maybe stay for a week for now, and since I have never been to Japan before maybe I'll go to Tokyo for starters, and if have time venture off into other places, I'm not really set on any 1 place though

I'd like to find a nice hotel, decent price, with internet in room, good location, visit a couple of tourist spots for pictures for my personal blog, and then at night go to the bars & nightclubs etc

uktokyoite thanks for that metropolis link, I'll check that out for sure

Hey Zachary,

I'm jealous and hope you have a great time.

See if this site can add any information for you regarding hotels and things to do.

It's right under smilies... Just click on it.

Anyways, I don't really have any advice for you, but I must say that I admire you for having the guts to go to a foreign country on your own. I would never be able to do that, especially with a country as vastly different from my own as Japan is. Enjoy your trip!

Keep in mind, Osaka is quite the ways away from Tokyo and a few hours by shinkansen.

If you're staying in the Tokyo area, try ageha in shinkiba

here's their site: [ ageHa ]

they have like 3 different dj halls and one has a pool!
