Here you'll find some of Tokyo's best 24-hour and late-night venues, where you can get pretty much anything anytime. Want a cappuccino at 2am? Savour fresh sushi until the wee hours of the morning? Take photos of the city at night? How about a relaxing hot bath in a traditional sento? Tokyo's got all that covered and more.

So stay up all night and take advantage of these after-dark venues and things to do around the capital. Forget the last train home – you can eat, drink and have fun until the sun comes up.
