What time do people go out in Tokyo?

Most nightclubs remain open until as late as 6:00AM. Japanese patrons normally show up around 12:30 to 1:30 AM and stay until closing time. If you go to a club too early, you'll likely see mostly tourists there. Don't get discouraged if you enter a club before midnight and it's empty though.
