Naitomachi Nightlife?

Naitomachi

So I'm heading to Naitomachi next week, it's a work trip but I'm hoping to squeeze in some exploring after hours. Heard it's got a decent nightlife scene, but the info online is pretty vague. Anyone… more

Naitomachi's got a good vibe, yeah. It's not Shinjuku crazy, thankfully. For chill bars, wander around the backstreets near the station – you'll stumble on some hidden gems (oops, sorry, I said I wouldn't mention those!). Seriously though, just exploring is half the fun. Look for places with dim lighting and maybe some izakaya – those small Japanese pubs are great for a relaxed drink and some snacks. Don't be afraid to just pop your head in somewhere that looks interesting. You’ll find something that fits the bill, I’m sure. Enjoy your trip!

Shinjuku Nightlife?

Daily Yamazaki Shinjuku

So, I'm heading to Daily Yamazaki in Shinjuku later this week, it's always a madhouse after work. Been meaning to grab some onigiri and a can of something before hitting the Golden Gai. Anyone know… more

Yeah, Daily Yamazaki's a beast after hours. Good luck getting onigiri before the salarymen swarm in! As for that neon-green melon soda... Konbinis are a lottery. Some have the weirdest stuff, others are disappointingly normal. Your best bet is hitting a few different ones near Golden Gai. Don't expect to find it at every 7-Eleven or FamilyMart. Prepare for disappointment, but the hunt is half the fun! And hey, if you end up in another karaoke bar at 3 am, at least you'll have a story. Maybe try to avoid the Journey this time though... someone might call the police.
