To see / To do Japan
Opening times vary widely, but most museums and parks will be open between 10am and 5pm. On Saturdays and Sundays, there are often long queues, especially for temporary exhibitions. Each institution has a different closing day. Temples and shrines open early (around 8 a.m.) and also close at 4 or 5 p.m., except during festivals.
Enjoying yourself Japan
The hours are random. If some restaurants serve continuously from 11am to midnight, the smaller ones have reduced hours: 11am-2pm for lunch, 6pm-10pm for dinner. Others remain open but no longer serve lunch after 2pm and offer a different menu.

Opening times vary enormously. Many bars also serve coffee during the day from 11am. Bars that only open in the evening usually do so around 5pm. Most cafés close between 8pm and 10pm, and bars close at 2am at the earliest.
