Bars and Clubs In Central Tokyo

Hi
I will be first time in Tokyo on sat.I would like to know where I can find good bars and clubs.
I will stay in Conran Hotel not far from Shibuya.
I dont want some seedy clubs....I would like to go where girls hang out.Not hookers but girls you can chat up and have fun with.
Thank you
Best Regards

 

Unless you speak Japanese, you're not going to get anywhere in the local scene and end up in a gaijin friendly seedy club.

Look up international parties on Google, there should be something going on every weekend.

 

lol..in Roppongi?

 

Gas Panic. It's awful, but there are 2 in Shibuya and 1 in Roppongi. They are not only gaijin friendly, but they're basically laid out for gaijin to get laid in.

Other than that, you'll need to go to Roppongi if you really want to talk to a Japanese girl. Otherwise it's a crap shoot (not in your favor). There's a decent community of local westerners that hang out in Shibuya, but they're hardly meat markets, and not full on every day.

This Saturday there is an event at Warehouse in Azabu Juuban, which will have a nice mix. It is actually thrown by gaijin. Look for "Freerange Tokyo presents Tom Middleton" on Facebook or Google.

 

Where it comes to Gas Panic, there is probably only one thing worth mentioning - 400Y for every drink on thursdays. I went there once (Roppongi one), and just as ASSEMbler said, there were hardly any girls . Just two ladies in their thirties and some guys dancing with themselves. After few drinks, chat with barthender (she was very nice and friendly), and watching Jackass Gumball on their TV I went home. Information about about sexual harassment placed on toilet door made me smile

 

Well... it's better than send him to his hotel room to drink. I even stated "it's awful". But, to quote a friend of mine, "there's no reason to let the truth ruin a good time".

 

Thank you very much For help guys....really appriciate it......you Are correct its not easy but possible.japan girls are easy to approach in shibya and I found few chatty ones willing to meet up.but I'm in love With Tokyo ....and Japan...really want to move here. My mate lives here on the outskirts She is married to a jap girl.I know this is not going to be easy But I think its not impossible.I know in London Where I live there are plenty. So It would be easy to get one there and Then move to Japan.Love the energy of thus town ans country ...simply amazing .....should have come here earlier ...

 

The Disneyland effect wears off quickly. Soon you'll see Japan for what it really is. Just another country with its share of idiots and problems. I've seen a lot of people come and go over the years. I've been living back and forth, Japan and the States, for more than half of my life. People come to Japan on vacation, fall in love with it, then they decide to live in Japan. Six months to a year later, they come running home. Gaijin Punch can probably back me up on that. Japan does that to people. Lures them in, then spits them out. Not everyone, but most. I hear the same stories all the time from foreigners living in Japan.

I am not trying to rain on your parade, I am just giving you a dose of reality. It's not all butterflies and pancakes in Japan...especially if you are a foreigner. If you do your best to fit in and not try to act like a dumb foreigner, you will find your niche and they will give you the appearance that they have accepted you.

 

Basically what hashiriya said. You need a few things to keep you anchored and keep it fresh.

1) A career you REALLY like, if not love. If you don't love teaching, and do it for more than 2 years, you will hate life.
2) Friends... western ones. Don't want to spew any hate, but a lot can be said about zero language/cultural barriers

Those two are really, really key. THere's an article floating around the interwebs called, "So you want to move to Japan" or something like that. Has some nice points. I suggest reading it.

 

I am lucky as my jobs means I work abroad a lot and I tend to live in Japan for 3 to 6 months of the year as a very long holiday visiting my girlfriend . Been doing it for 8 years and I still love the place, have friends both Japanese and western here too. The only negative thing is the strong yen which means that in the last 4 years the pound has lost half it's value which means it's expensive.

 

Yes I agree it is not easy...but I think it can be done and our friend yakumo is a living proof od That.I say the best way and only way is marrying the Japanese girl. Then she Will put one through how shall I put it in the "system".I think That. Is only viable option.That friend od mine I spoke earlier he lives on the farm outside Tokyo. He helps out on his wife's family farm....yes I think in That way One can find niche. Then one has to learn the lingo and it can happen....but there are so many jap girls in London That finding one I don't see a problem....

 

The easiest way is not always the best way. In fact, it usually isn't.

 

On Wednesday, I went to a pre-departure meeting for the job I will be doing from Jan in Tokyo for a year. At the meeting were many people that had been awarded similar fellowships to mine, where you stay in Japan working for 2 months up to 2 years as part of the award, at a University. One guy was awarded a 2 year sty 25 years ago, and he is still going back to Japan yearly.

Absolutely no-one said they came 'running' back to the UK after an extended stay; if anything they've been finding ways to get back to Japan.

Of course Japan has its problems, but I think it's a better quality of life experience than the UK.

As for the club scene, I only know of a few nice ones in Osaka that I've been too, and it's highly unlikely that I will go clubbing next year as it's not a past time I enjoy anymore (thanks to England's clubbers).

"Most men who marry"? Do you know "most men"? Where's the stats? If you marry for anything other than love, I see things being very difficult. End of.

 

you guys misunderstand me. I would only marry for love just to a jap girl. Not for papers.Forget that.
Any othert way is just not going to work.I know

 

Caucasian girls are better looking, and have significantly better bodies unless you're attracted to 12yo boys.

 

Women are women....there are beautiful ones In all cultures and races. Never had a problem With them.there are plenty of jap ones amzimg looking in tkoyo I havevseen and in london As well.many jap girls in here. If one wants to live in japan then this is best way of getting into the system. I know as I'm polish. Came to England mmanycyears ago and hooked with engliish girl and it wasthe right move.
So I know a thing or two about blending in.
