Questions people ask

What time is the last train in Tokyo?

Most JR and subway lines run their last trains between about midnight and 12:30 am, and the first trains leave around 4:30 to 5 am (Nightlife Tokyo). The exact time depends on the line, station and direction, so check your route before you go out.

Can tourists sleep in an internet café in Tokyo?

Yes. Buy a night pack, show your passport on the first visit (a Tokyo ordinance makes net cafés check identity), and ask for a locked private room (鍵付き個室) if you want to sleep properly.

How much does a capsule hotel cost in Tokyo?

Across 38 Tokyo capsule hotels the cheapest listed night was about ¥2,660 and the median about ¥5,920 in September 2026 (HotelBank). NUM shows tonight's price for the ones on this page.

Can I ride a LUUP scooter home after drinking?

No. Riding after drinking is a crime in Japan, on a scooter or a bike. LUUP also needs you to be 16 or over, upload ID and pass a short traffic-rules test in the app before your first ride.

How much is a taxi after midnight in Tokyo?

In the 23 wards the meter starts at ¥500 for the first 1.096 km and adds ¥100 every 255 m, with 20% more from 10 pm to 5 am.

Are there women-only places?

Yes. 9H Nine Hours Woman Shinjuku and Centurion Cabin and Spa Ladies Akasaka are women-only, and many capsule hotels and net cafés keep women-only floors or areas.

Prices change: each one above carries the month it was read. Walking times come from straight-line distances to the station, so treat them as a guide. Illustrations by NUM, made with Google Flow (AI-generated).
