This Tokyo’s Otaku Hub Hides a Secret Nightlife

So from now on we going to continue walking in the back street of Nakono with super cool bars is Kaya ramen snack bar, girls bar, koke bar and a lot of tachini. So like I said, this area has a really nostalgic feeling. It’s you can see some old really old building older style isakaya and uh bars and also you can get high quality Japanese sake here like here and the price is not that high compared to Shin which is only 5 minutes away from here. 5 minutes train ride. It’s nice here. some Nano’s night life. It’s really cozy, friendly, and warm and relaxed. Can enjoy it. It’s not like a stress like in Shinjuku. You can find a lot of actually solo men coming here for drinking and dining after work. also is a center for artists in Nakano because it’s just near Nakano Broadway. It’s only few meters away from Nakono Broadway and Nakono Broadway is the center of any manga art. So even now a lot of artists still are working there. So this way the field is somehow artistic this area. Very cool. You want the ball? A very nice cozy bar here is a snack bar. So, a snack bar in general is a uh Japanese bar with which is very old since like a Edo period and they usually there is a lady serving the customers drink and the snacks and also they have koke so customers can thing and enjoy like this one. So this is a snack bar. So you can drink, have some food, a snack, and enjoy singing. So the new and modern version of snack would be like a gears bar which you uh drink. Usually there are Hello Mo. So, usually you pay uh about 3,000 in average for 1 hour and then you drink with girls and then you have to buy a drink for the girl and they will talk to you, chat, chitchat and enjoy conversation with the girls. And also they have some games you can play with them. But you have to be careful about the price because they have a complicated tax system and usually there is a risk of overcharge. While the snack bar is just the older version, I think it’s fine. It’s clear. It’s not risky taking care. [Music] So, this one is a is a club and it says 60 minute 3,000 yen plus 15% tax. And that’s the basic price because you have to pay for the drink for the girls drink separately and that one usually is more expensive. Also depends what you drink. Also they have a checky system. You check is a system that you offer tips to the girl. But in Japan tipping is not common. So you buy a photo, you buy taking a photo with them and then you pay for that photo in general. All right. Another area in Nakano with different lights. So we just explored this one and now let’s explore here. Also, there are a lot of cheap and delicious ramen restaurant in Mac too. So if you want to eat good quality ramen with reasonable price, Nano is a recommended place. However, also there are many yaki niku as well like this Japanese wagyu and the price is good for that big amount of wagyu it says 160 g 4,250 yen for 300 g 8,000 it’s it’s wagyu and is expensive but it’s it’s not bad it’s average price for Now I give you Hello. This is also very famous. It’s a chain isakaya yakitori or grilled chicken is a famous chain isakaya and it’s very taste. All right, there is a music going on here. I have to ask quickly here. right from so in front of us this alley is connected to sun mall road the shopping mall that I showed you earlier This is Nakano Sun Mall or Sun Road. like our most famous shopping mall. And from here, if you go straight again, you can reach Nakano Broadway, the center of manga and anime, especially the nostalgic one. And here is a nice sushi restaurant. Let me actually go from here. And again head back to the night left area from another corner. [Music] M smells really good here with the smell of grilled chicken and grilled meat mixed in this. Even though I’m full, this smell makes you hungry. [Music] So on the first floor usually there is or tachin like this standing bar or hello Hello. Hello. Hello. In the second floor, usually there are some hidden stuff like snack bar. Here’s one. Well, this is cool. Very nice. Oh yeah, they have actually really nice seafood as well.

So from here, let me actually show how you can get here again from the station. So Over there is the station Jr. line. So from Shinjuku you can get here only in a few minutes. And so it’s Shinjuku Okubo station and then Nakano. And then after Nakano. Oh, sorry. Before Nakano is a Higashi Nakano, then Nakano. Then after Nakano, you can go to Coen area. If you go further, you can go to Kin, which is a longer ride. Kiju Kuji. Sorry, not Kishu. And then if you go further, that’s a bit longer ride. You can get to uh Mount Taco, which is the most popular mount near Mount near Tokyo. It’s only I think 500 meter tall, but it’s a very popular spot for Tokyo people. If you want a short a short hiking, there is also a ropeway to go to the top and it’s famous for uh seeing sunrise and sunset. Mount Taco is very recommended from here is only less than 1 hour ride. Also there is in just in the there’s a mount there is a station is called uh mount a station. So in that station also there’s a cool night life area and so you can spend a day there and you can spend a day in that area and also come back have a nice meal and drink. There are a few girls born in this area as [Music] well. This area is very cozy and relaxed. So, I’m not I’m not uh feeling like a when I walk in Kabuki or in Shinjuku is really stress too many things happens there. So it’s it’s very busy. It is very relaxed and people are not very loud here. So that’s why I’m trying to even talk not very loudly. So As you see the decoration is for Oh, by the way, this ramen is so good.
