Dude you are awesome! I arrived at Tokyo 3 days ago alone and while there is plenty to do, it became exhausting pretty fast and started to put myself under Pressure to go out alone, thank you so much for doing this video, after watching it I booked two pub crawls, one in Osaka where im heading to tommorow, and in Tokyo before I have to leave for my Flight back home, this maybe saved my trip, so thank you from the bottom of my Heart!!!
I love Roppongi but it isn't for me. I like midtown better as its more chill and relax. These pubs are a place where foreigners compete with each other to hookup with girls. I almost got into a fight at one of the clubs there because of it.
There were less foreigners in Tokyo, but Roppongi was a magnet for them and young Japanese females so it was rammed. It must have been the easiest place to find female company on the planet. The bars just left off Gaien Higashi Dori up from Roppongi Crossing were packed. The bar scene has changed so much now. I did a Googlemap tour of it a while back, and nowhere was as it used to be. It's a pity I can't post an attachment because I am trying to get a Roppongo based crime novel (the first of a trilogy) set in 1990 (hence my user name) published at the moment, and at the beginning of it I include an author's notes section which details the layout as it used to be. If you want it, you'll have to give me an email.
Yup, I was there. It was really something special back then. So many very hot Japanese gals in Body Cons, high heels, T-Backs and some O-backs. Juliana's Tokyo in Shibaura near Tamachi Station was just off the chain! Then it moved to Velfarre and that was pretty good for a few years at least. Awwww Yeah! Good luck on getting your novels published. I would love to read them. Please send me your author's notes section at muuhdkyc@trashmail.com DOUMO ARIGATOU!
Les Grossman I was living there 92 -97 good times, very hard to go home after work, I worked in Tokyo Dome, money was a bit tight, so good fun bar hoping for ¥300 happy hr drinks, we always started off in Henry Africa, cheers.
best bar i went to in roppongi was Propaganda. The owner and staff were so cool and funny, and we met some crazy awesome characters there too. the vibes were so good! i 10/10 recommend propaganda bar
+backgroundnoise Lol. Only if you go into the shady bars the Nigerians are trying to pull you into. Never heard of that happening at Pub Crawl or regular izakaya places in Roppongi.
Those bars I think you're talking about are great, you get to sit with the girls who work there & they're all over you, you just have to buy them a glass of wine which they charged you $40 for, ended up being expensive but it's worth it especially as that's about the only time anyone will ever get to be with a woman in Japan (especially if you're not Japanese) I just wished the woman who worked there were actually Japanese
I'm both interested and not interested in Roppongi. When I go to new cities I am always interested in seeing the seedier parts of it to get a feel how ghetto's differ in cities, unless it's way too dangerous of course. From what I seen, it seems like I can handle Roppongi with no issue. I been too and lived in some rough areas in cities in the U.S. (Bronx, Brooklyn in NYC, Camden in New Jersey, West Palm Beach in Florida, Detroit to name a few). On the other hand, Roppongi is not the type of place I would want to spend most of my time in Japan. Unfortunately, since I don't know much Japanese and don't have have any friends in Japan, I'll stop by there just to at least experience it for myself. I'll also be alone so that should be fun and interesting. Also, if its easier to hook up, I'm ALL IN.
+Dan Zena Yes, Roppongi is seedy but not scary at all. Unless you are out really late, alone and trying to mess with someone, nothing will happen. There also tons of cops so very well protected. Also, I agree it is a place to go once in awhile but not make it your hangout all the time. That is why I go to the pub crawl once every few months or so.
Ozzie, like the vid but the difference in volume in your narration and the music makes it difficult to hear without changing the volume. Please adjust the volume. Thanks. PS I had great times in Roppongi.
David Austin my mate punched a Yakuza member ,unwittingly , and when he returned to the same establishment a week later the same Yakuza was there with his mates and they got my friend and held him down and did something to his arm that broke it , then just walked off, Tokyo in the 90's
+OzzyAwesome I've been focusing all my energy on writing music for the last few months - don't know when I'll have a chance to make some new videos, but hopefully soon!
Yes and it's usually where the international meetup party from meetup is at. I never went I just had to stop on that floor twice since the elevator took forever. Also I was in the elevator for that scene haha!
OzzyAwesome from the philippines but I live in japan now. Alife club is great. Too many friendly japanese guys and girls. I think it is new. It opened last year. Go for it. It’s just 600m from the roppongi station :)
I came across a lot of guy asking if I wanted to see some.....Strip Clubs! WOW! Watch out for that which attempts to pass as girl but it is not! You are never drunk enough to mistake a man dress like a chick as woman! Be careful!
Lol. Which part? The part where Japanese people are having a good time? Or the part foreigners are having a good time? If having a good time like the people in this video is racist then count me in! 😍

Roppongi is more like a red light district, a few good clubs, but they are off the main strip.
Havent been for awhile. Any clubs you would recommend?
@@ozzy78 A-Life
@@ozzy78,I heard the Shibuya area was better

+Joseph Meets Travel Yah, Roppongi can be crazy especially as the night goes on. I don't go often but once in awhile it can be fun!
For some reason Roppongi reminded me of Durarara! hahahah! I like the sound of Pub Crawling...better than Bar Hopping. Happy Birthday to your friend!!
+Goldberry Bombadil She says thanks!
Nowhere near as good as it was 25 years ago.
Was there probably a lot less foreigners and many more Japanese right?

I was there in 1969.. It was GREAT.. I was in the Army 602nd and I loved Tokyo and the night clubs and all the people.. I miss you all.
Wow! That is amazing. I wish I could see how it has changed over the decades.
Safe?! Not when your drink gets spiked and they steal your money.

I miss very much roppongi it's the best place ❤👏
Roppongi is also the grand central for hookups too!
+Nikko Sisowath True story!
Yup but I think Shibuya is better, at least for me.
SHIBUYA CROSSING CENTER
Also gaijin hunters favorite place
@@OceanTree perfect for ONS with japanese Girls?
