Have Unforgettable Night Out in Akihabara

If you get a chance to visit Akihabara it would be a waste not to stay a bit longer and experience its unique nightlife. This is not a part of Tokyo that is full of clubs and bars or popular for its amazing nightlife, but it has many fun and relaxing places that will make your night memorable.

Karaoke

 

 

Let`s start with Karaoke, the most popular way of having fun in Japan. Most Karaoke bars are open until 5~6 in the morning and have special, affordable night plans that are available only after dark.

Karaoke bars are a great place to relax and get loud eighter with your friends or by yourself. They are also good for a casual dinner as they offer a variety of foods and drinks.

There is one more popular way to spend time in these bars. Since most rooms are private enough and usually have a few larger sofas, many people choose to sleep here instead of renting a more expensive room in a hotel. It is cheaper and does not require a reservation.

The biggest karaoke bars in Akihabara are Karaoke Kan and Karaoke Big Eco.
