The maintenance cycle is also amazing for nightlife. In Tokyo the majority of late night establishments are open until 5am when the trains start back up.

Not really. Plenty of times people would be willing to stay out until 1 or 2 am but they go home at 11pm because they don’t want to wait until 5-6 am.

Agree. This is classic fantasy thinking about Japan life. The "all night out" thing is something that most Japanese people only do a few times in their life, with many regrets (horrible hang over, etc.).
