2020 is coming to an end, and for many of us, that is a good thing. Now the big question remains… do we celebrate New Year’s Eve in Tokyo?
Normally, this time of year is all about celebrating the end of a prosperous year with colleagues and friends at End of Year drinking parties (bōnenkai 忘年会) or at massive New Year’s Eve nightclub events. Similar to Halloween, Tokyo usually offers a wide selection of ways to celebrate the big countdown.
This year’s festivities, however, are mostly canceled and moved online. But nightclubs, for better or worse are still planning to be open this New Year’s Eve. If you do choose to party this New Year’s Eve, please do so carefully.
Here is our guide to celebrating New Year’s Eve in Tokyo 2020!
TOKYO NEW YEAR’S EVE TIPS

COVID 19
The coronavirus averages 500+ cases a day in Tokyo, and it is very likely the number of cases is much greater than this. So it’s best to avoid shaking hands, and sharing drinks. Most nightclubs will require guests to wear a mask, provide contact information, and take a temperature check.
Surprisingly, some clubs are loose with these regulations, leading to customers and even performers not wearing masks. So be sure to keep that mask on, and let us do our part in stopping the spread of covid 19.
Taxis
Because of the end of year parties, it is nearly impossible to grab a taxi. Stick to the trains on New Year’s Eve. All nightclubs will require this for entry.
Trains
Typically Tokyo’s trains stop running at 1 am, but on New Year’s Eve, they will operate all night. The time schedules will vary between train lines, but for the most part, you can expect a train every 20 to 30 minutes.
Arrive Early
A majority of the clubs will open at 9 pm, with lines growing almost immediately. Arrive early to avoid waiting in massive lines.
Or Arrive Late
Because trains are operating all night, clubs will start to thin out around 3 am. If you would like to avoid the massive crowds but still want to party, try celebrating the countdown at a bar or the Shibuya streets, and then hit the club later.
Grab your celebration drinks early!
From about 30 minutes before the countdown, the bars will be swamped… and the last thing anyone wants is to celebrate the Countdown into the New Year waiting in line.
Shibuya Scramble
In recent years, the Tokyo police have blocked off large areas of Shibuya to prevent mass crowds. It is unclear how police will handle crowds, if any, but it would be best to avoid doing the countdown at the Shibuya scramble.
