- Shibuya
Start times and dress codes
Dinner starts early — 6:30 to 8pm is the norm — and punctuality matters more here than almost anywhere. Tokyo dresses neatly; understated and well put together reads better than anything showy.
Getting to the venue
This is the one genuine constraint in Tokyo: the trains stop around midnight and do not resume until about 5am. Either plan to finish before the last train or plan not to — taxis after midnight are expensive.
When the Tokyo calendar fills
Cherry blossom season in late March and early April, and the autumn colour from late October into November, are the two peaks. Both are short and both book out well ahead.

Taking a date to an occasion in Tokyo
What happens if we are out past the last train?
It is worth deciding in advance. Trains stop around midnight, so either the evening finishes before then or it continues with a taxi, which is easy to arrange. We will plan around whichever you prefer.
Does a companion in Tokyo speak English?
Yes. Our Tokyo companions speak English, and Japanese where you would like the evening conducted in it — useful if you are visiting and would rather not navigate bookings yourself.
