If you’re in Tokyo during commuting hours–whether on a train or taking a leisurely stroll around office buildings–you’re bound to encounter salarymen. It refers to those of all genders but “salaryman” is a broad term to describe any white-collar employee.
Shimbashi is the salaryman capital of the city, where employees dressed up in dark suits not only come to work but also hang out with colleagues after a long day. As such, you will find numerous little izakaya (Japanese-style pubs) dotted across the area.
I recommend visiting Shimbashi on any weekday night and immersing yourself in izakaya culture, while simultaneously getting a glimpse into what it’s like living the day to day as a salaryman in Tokyo!
