Tokyo is a big city full of bright lights and most cities with these characteristics have a great nightlife to go along with them. Earlier in the week we had a chance to experience Tokyo at night. The “crew” as I call everyone on the program, decided to go out on a Monday night. The destination was a area called Roppongi located in Tokyo. This district was full of bars and various clubs. That night wasn’t such a good idea to go out for me because we had been awake since 4am doing company tours and shopping in Harajuku. So once we stepped out I instantly crashed and decided to head back to the room after we visited one bar along with three of my “crew” members. Once we left I knew I had to return to Roppongi before we left Tokyo on Saturday (5/22). The area was just exciting and I knew it would be great on a Friday night.
So the date was set and our last Friday in Tokyo we all wanted to hang out in Roppongi but somehow that changed and we ended up in another area called Shibuya. I didn’t want to be the “bad guy” and leave everyone for Roppongi so I followed along with the decision and figured we all would have a good time. I didn’t visit this area earlier in the week so I figured the experience there would be cool according to my other classmates. Our last night in Tokyo was not a successful fun night like I imagined, the clubs didn’t look fun, people didn’t start coming until 2am and we had to be up early in the morning to travel up Mt. Koya so 2am was way too long to wait to start partying and I didn’t want to take a cab back too late. I didn’t let the bad night change my attitude or put me in a bad mood because I wasn’t going to let anything stop me from enjoying every moment in Japan. I still had another great week left in this country so I just look forward to some new experiences in other parts of Japan. Tokyo is a beautiful city and I developed many other good memories throughout the week to fall back on.
