From
the mysterious Oriental symbolism of Noh drama to the glittering neon
lights of the cabarets, clubs and discos, Japan offers a mix of modern
and traditional entertainment, catering to a wide range of tastes and
interests. A wealth of entertainment opportunities awaits the adventurous,
the curious and the fun seeking.
Live
houses and bars are the cheapest nightlife option for travelers and foreign
residents in Japan. These are also the best places for travelers to meet
young Japanese in a casual environment. Few have entry charges, and for
those that do, a drink is usually offered with each entry. Drink prices
vary, but are generally around ¥500 for a beer and ¥700 for spirits. Do
check out these live houses as they are also hot spots for live performances
by local bands. Performances tend to start and end early in the evening,
however. To find out more about them, pick up copies of the Tokyo Journal
and Kansai Time Out.
For
those with an inclination to spend money, clubs offer a slightly more
expensive and more commercialized night out. Cover charges can be as high
as ¥4000 to ¥5000 and are usually inclusive of two or three drinks. However,
with some effort, a few establishments can be found in Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto,
Fukuoka and Sapporo that do not require a cover charge on Friday and Saturday
nights. These places can provide a good clubbing experience without putting
a strain on your travel budget.
