What to do in Tokyo overnight? (slightly different layover thread)
Hi Everyone,
First off, this forum is great and I have found a ton of useful information. So thanks to everyone who has contributed and made it so.
Background for my question: I will be traveling through China and my routing to get home takes me through Tokyo. So I have a pretty short stay in Tokyo (Narita I guess): Arrive at 7:30p, leave at 11:30a. From the forum I am pretty certain that if I go into Tokyo I'll take a limo bus into Tokyo and use it to get back. Based on what I've heard about the trains/subway and this being my first time, sounds like that's a better choice. And the luggage storage sounds very useful.
However my question is: is it worth going into Tokyo for what will basically be an overnight visit? I've never been before and would love to "see" Tokyo, however I realize that by the time I'll get into Tokyo it's likely to be close to 11:00 or 11:30p. I'm not against staying out all night if there's stuff to do, but I really have no idea where to go, what takes place in the wee hours, etc. I can shower at the Admiral's Club and sleep on the plane, so if it's worth it, I am game. Otherwise I'll likely book the CP Narita and sleep there.
So any ideas about good late night restaurants, sightseeing and stuff would be great. As a caveat: I don't drink but am happy to check out bars/clubs if any are recommended.
Thanks very much for your help!
