Tokyo transforms after dark, and nowhere captures its chaotic beauty quite like Shinjuku. In this video, we take you to explore Tokyo at night when we meet up with Joe, a local who knows this place very well. We’ll sing karaoke, explore hidden lantern-covered alleys, and even sing a bit of karaoke. And course we’re ending the night with some ramen. Plus we’ll even dive into Tokyo’s red light district and learn about some surprising things we never expected to see here. If you’re looking for the best things to do in Shinjuku or are just curious what to do in Tokyo at night, this is the video for you!
