The Huffington Post has an article on six things to do if you should find yourself stranded away from your hotel in Tokyo after the trains stopped running in the middle of the night.
This has never happened to me, although I had to work around with no subways running to get to the Tsukiji Fish Market. The ever-convenient Tokyo taxi cabs remedied that "problem" for me. I was planning on sleeping in another hour that morning, but an earthquake woke me up.
The article begins with:
Instead of curling up in a corner and crying your eyes out until public transportation will take your sorry ass back home, spend the train downtime wisely. Tokyo's trains shut down between midnight and 1 a.m. (depending on the line), but the city doesn't just pack up and wait for shit to start running again (around 4 a.m.).Hachiko even gets a mention in the article, too!
