Karaoke
Karaoke is a type of entertainment originated in Japan, in which an amateur singer sings along with recorded music synchronized with lyrics displayed on-screen. You can rent a room and have a private party with your friends. Many Japanese use it alone as well, as a way to release stress.
Except for singing, you can eat, drink or even sleep there.
You can keep ordering throughout the night and if you choose a night pack, you can stay until the morning. It is a more affordable option to a hotel though it can be a bit loud if there is a big group in the adjacent room.

Internet café
As the name says, internet cafés give you access to the internet, but also offer a variety of comic books.
They are all open 24 hours a day and most have special night packs more affordable than regular accommodation.
Wa Style Café which is a rare Japanese-style café inspired by Japanese traditional inns – ryokan. Because of that, it has a warmer and more luxurious atmosphere. Because these types of cafés are more oriented towards customers traveling alone, they are a quieter option than karaoke if you are looking for a good night’s sleep.
It is popular among tourists, so we recommend you reserve in advance.
（You can make a reservation in Japanese, English or Chinese on their homepage）
