Tokyo Afters

Private evenings, designed around you

The best nights in Tokyo don't come from a list. They come from the locals who live it.

Tokyo has thousands of bars and spaces you'd never find on your own, and each has its own unique flavor fit for a different crowd. A perfect quiet evening of cocktails for one person could be a wasted night for another.

Every evening with us is crafted around the part of Tokyo nightlife that you want to explore. Whether that's a six-seater speakeasy or a traditional festival you'll be in town for, we handle the work of creating an evening unique to your tastes.

01 — How it works

Tell us what you're into. The rest is handled.

02 — What a night can hold

Anything worth doing after dark

杯

Craft cocktails

Bars with as little as six or eight seats, owned by someone who has spent their life dedicated to their craft.

Tell them what you like, and let them create something magical.
音

Listening bars & underground venues

Jazz kissa, vinyl rooms, basement parties built around serious sound systems. Experience the heart, soul, and rhythm of Japanese nightlife.

肴

Dining counters

Learn what makes Japan one of the most recognized in the world for cuisine, in charming spaces that complement your evening's atmosphere.

祭

Anything else happening

A festival two streets from your hotel, a one-night gallery party, a pop-up bar closed off just for your group. The things most travelers never even know are an option.

03 — Who plans it

One person. Not an agency.

You're not booking a service desk who's never taken on a Tokyo night. You're talking to the person who actually knows these rooms.

A guide who's shown more than a thousand guests around this city, and spent years getting to know the people behind its best counters. When you inquire, you get a reply from the same person who plans your night, and hosts it. No two evenings are the same, because no two guests are.
