Late Night to Early Morning: Top 3 Amazing Spots Near Tokyo Station that Don't Stop Going!

Tokyo Station

Tokyo Station, as the name suggests, is the gateway to Tokyo city - the terminal station that everyone has to pass through whether they're heading to other parts of the country or surrounding suburbs for shopping and sightseeing. Some people have so much fun with their activities that by the time they make it back to Tokyo Station, every other mode of transportation has already closed down for the day! Unlike other cities, Japan's trains don't keep going throughout the night, so this problem is more common than you might expect! But not to worry, because here are some fantastic places accessible from Tokyo Station that you can chill out in until the morning trains start running again.
