Ever since I started working, I’ve been hooked on Tokyo’s nightlife — from hostess clubs to the more risqué side of things, I’ve explored it all. Whenever I travel for business across Japan, I make it a point to dive into the local night scene.

Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned visitor, I hope this site helps you discover the hidden side of Japan after dark.
