Here are few tips and guidance on how to have a gay travel in Japan:
- Visit the City Hall – if you want to get a peaceful place in a city so crowded and full of high point, maybe you should consider taking a visit to the City Hall. Tokyo City hall is 800 ft tall and offers an amazing view of the whole city as if you were watching over them. The panorama view from City Hall is incredible and offers magnanimous vistas of the sky. On a clear day, you can even see Mount Fuji from the top of City Hall. The place is also situated near the gay area of Shinjuku. What else can be more convenient.
- Tokyo streets are very confusing. Heer anybody can get lost, even cab drivers. So whenever you go out to see the real city make sure you have a map of the locations drawn by a local friend pointing out directions where you have to go. Many times, even local city maps can get you in trouble as they draw places and routes that don’t even exist. In case you get lost or have difficulties finding the place don’t hesitate to ask for help.
- The best weather to choose to visit Tokyo would be in summers. Summer with nice, clear skies should give you a great day to enjoy and hang out. Rainy season is also another great time for gay couples to roam around the city. During this season many people go on vacation and the streets are clearer than usual.
- The place around Shinjuku is equipped with bars, dance clubs, sauna, massage centers and many other places for gay couples. You can also go to these places with your partner but if you’re not a native are speak Japanese, it’s better to go in such cases with a local friend who will introduce you to the place and be your ticket in. Without proper Japanese or a local friend these bars won’t allow foreigners to enter.
