Nighttime in Tokyo 2010/8/5 23:49
I'll be solo in Tokyo for about 5 days. I was wondering what are some things I can do at night/evening to kill some time. I don't drink or really like to go to clubs and all the searches I've tried pretty much tell you to go to a bar or a club.

Mostly looking for good sites to walk around or cool things to see (shows, places to eat, etc) not really too picky about where/what they are so long I can make the train home at night in time and in the Tokyo area.

Thx in advance

Id be curious to know as well. When I was in tokyo, it seemed like everything was closed by about 6pm! I guess there's always karaoke.

Other suggestions 2010/8/6 23:50
Odaiba is a nice place to walk and have some night views of Tokyo bay. Also you could have a ride in the ferris wheel there.
Or perhaps you could go to the ferris wheel in Korakuen (the amusement park by the Tokyo Dome). This park has other rides and attractions as well, and is open quite late in the evenings.

Yokohama is very nice to wander around in evenings as well, especially around the harbour and in Chinatown.

Shinjuku and Akihabara are filled with shops, department stores and restaurants that stay open late. I think they are especially fun to walk around at night when they are lit up.

disney land opens by 22:00. and night fee is cheaper than all-day.
but many couples might make you sentimental.

I found a lot of late-night things just doing research into my (and my travel companion's) interests.

These examples might not be what you're looking for, but this method was the only way I found things open outside regular hours.

Oedo Onsen Monogatari in Odaiba is open pretty much 24hrs and while a little silly is a fun onsen experience in Tokyo.

Lotte Kasai Golf is a 24hr driving range (we didn't end up going, but the rates were okay).

Ueno can be quite nice at night. There are sports bars where you can watch sport and talk to people, if mingling with Japanese locals interests you. There's also various jazz and music places where you can watch local bands.
