Golden Gai is a small area of Shinjuku, famous both as an area of architectural interest and for its nightlife. It is composed of a network of six narrow alleys, connected by even narrower passageways which are just about wide enough for a single person to pass through. Over 200 tiny shanty-style bars are squeezed into this area.

Club Asia offers three bars and two dancefloors, with a high ceiling that looks spectacular but doesn’t always do the sound any favours. It is increasingly being used as a live venue rather than a club, and is a favourite space with private-party organisers, so check the schedule.

While Camelot wants to court the well-heeled and more mature trendsetters, its dress code is never enforced, and the weekend crowd varies from scruffy young Shibuya kids to dressed-up businesspeople looking to wind down. The smaller of the two floors holds 300 and specialises in hip hop, R&B and reggae. Downstairs in the main area 700 people can gather on the marble floor or lounge on the white leather sofas. Try ‘Ultimate Saturday’ for a mix of house and hip hop.

It's a club so hip that they don't even have a website. Trump Room has superseded Aoyama's Le Baron de Paris as the ne plus ultra of Tokyo cool. Under a sea of chandeliers and glitterballs, the city's fashion leaders and victims alike schmooze, booze and boogie to music that feels almost like an afterthought.
