Each part of Tokyo has its own feel and its own mix of shop types. Which area suits you depends on whether you care more about getting there easily or about having more to choose from.

Japan's largest gay district. Centred on Naka-dori, where the boys' bars cluster, it is also used as a meeting point for private-room and outcall services. Many places stay open after the last train, so it is an easy area for first-timers to compare options.
