Naitomachi Nightlife?
I'm heading to Naitomachi next week for a business trip, but I've got a couple of free evenings. Everyone keeps raving about the local Izakayas, but they're all so... similar looking from the picture… more
Honestly? It's less about a "code" and more about vibes. Look for places that are packed with salarymen – the older guys in suits, not just the young crowd. That usually means good, reasonably priced food and drinks, and a genuinely local atmosphere. Also, check out the signage. A really tiny, handwritten menu often means something amazing and authentic is hiding inside. Don't be afraid to just wander around and peek in – you’ll get a feel for the place pretty quickly. Trust your gut! And if it feels too shiny or too "instagrammable," it probably is.
Naitomachi Nightlife?
So I'm heading to Naitomachi next week, super stoked to explore this quieter side of Tokyo. I've heard it's less hectic than Shinjuku, but still has a good vibe. My question is: what's the best way… more
Just wander around! Seriously. Naitomachi's charm is in its understated nature. Don't expect neon signs screaming "Izakaya!" The best ones are tucked away, often down tiny alleyways. Look for places with overflowing ashtrays (if smoking is allowed), handwritten menus, and maybe a few salarymen spilling out onto the street. The further you get from the main drags, the better your chances. Don't be afraid to just peek into places – if it feels right, go in. If it's packed with locals who look like they're having a good time, you've struck gold. And honestly, getting a little lost is half the fun. You'll stumble on amazing stuff that way.
