The last time I visited Tokyo was way back in 92 - a flying 3 week trip through Japan spending 7 days in the capital.

Even though Tokyo is (was) a hugely expensive place to visit you simply must take in the sites at least once in your life. Tokyo is a heavily populated concrete jungle of a place, that doesn't have the openess of a London, the style of Milan or the chic of Paris.

What it does have is a kinetic energy that surpasses all three cities and more. The nightlife in particular is a real eye opener. You make think London or New York are pulsing 24/7 but they are mere squibs compared to the neon eyecandy in Japan.

There are so many places to go, clubs & restaurants of course, but you can shop, play floodlit golf, play the arcades, go to libraries, drink tea & socialise...in fact whatever you do during the day you can do just as easily at night since they don't have the kind of draconian laws over there that they do in the UK

The only problem is that your money can soon run out, even in one night its possible to wave goodbye to £500 without even knowing it.

You can find cheaper places to visit but they're ususually off the beaten track and you can end up getting lost.

Overall then Tokyo at night is a beautiful place to visit, just make sure you have a huge overdraft facility at the ready before you go!!
