koko
Doesn't care about an early start. Tokyo gets better after dinner anyway.
Takes things slowly but comes alive later in the day. You like Tokyo after dark: a slow start, a long dinner and the city lit up from somewhere high.

Where to stay
Roppongi or Shibuya. Close to the late trains and the places that don't need them.

Shibuya Sky or Roppongi Hills after sunset. The famous view, at your hour.
Yokohama at night
Half an hour south: the harbour lit up, Chinatown, and a late train back.
Under the tracks at Shimbashi
Salaryman izakaya that get better the later it gets.
What to skip
Sunrise at the fish market. Absolutely not.
Your people, and your problem
NOMIKAI飲み会
“The people and energy are half the experience.”
A nomikai is the after-work drinking party where the real conversation happens. Nomikai travelers want the Tokyo everyone talks about, and they want it with people. No spreadsheet required: the plan is whoever's around and wherever's good.
How to travel: Stay somewhere central and well connected, keep the evenings open, and let the famous neighbourhoods do the work. Your trip is measured in stories, not stops.
