Practical information : Going out Japan

Timetable

Not all bars offerhappy hours, but when they do, it's usually between 5pm and 7pm.

Budget & Tips

If you're planning an evening of drinking on a tight budget, it's a good idea to go to the izakaya, or Japanese bars, where you'll find great deals on unlimited drinks(nomihodai).

To be booked

Theater shows and nightclub events can quickly sell out. It's best to book in advance.

Night transport

Subways and trains run until around midnight, depending on the line. After that, people queue up at station cab ranks, hail them on the street, use Uber or sleep in an Internet café. The last trains are usually packed.

Age restrictions

You have to be 20 to enter a nightclub in Japan, just as you do to buy alcohol. In principle, you must show proof of identity. However, no proof of identity is usually required on entry.

What's very local

When visiting traditional Japanese theaters, it's common to come across women dressed in kimonos. No dress code is necessary, however.

Smokers

Since April 2020, legislation has prohibited smoking inside bars and nightclubs that exceed a certain size. In any case, clubs often have a smoking room.
