Bars and Nightlife
If you have eaten too much maybe you will wish to relieve with a drink, or simply you want to have a relaxing moment. There are all varieties of drinking chances ranging from yatai (street stalls) and chain izakaya to high-class hostess bars, that cost the salary of a month for a single drink, and everything in between.
You can enjoy live music like rock or jazz while sipping a whisky or relax in a top-floor hotel bar lingering over a cocktail and the harbor lights. Several beer halls are located in shopping malls and beer gardens on rooftops, as well as laid-back cocktail bars where the conversation centers on literature. And, there are wild, loud joints that serve as pick-up points for the young adult crowd.
