At 6 AM, Nishiki in Nagoya was full of young people coming home from clubs 🌅

Up At Dawn

This happened one morning.

I woke up at about 5 in the morning, and that day, I decided to go to Nagoya Station by bike.

So Many People

In Nagoya, there is a famous Don Quijote building.

When I got to around the front of that Don Quijote, I was very surprised.

It was just after 5:30 in the morning, a time when the trains may or may not be running yet.

But there were so many people around Don Quijote.

All So Young

And they were all very young.

There were many young people, around their 20s.

"What is everyone doing, getting up this early?"

"Are they working from this time?"

I also thought they might be people visiting Nagoya for sightseeing or business.

But everyone had very small bags or nothing in their hands.

Nishiki Area

The area around Don Quijote is called Nishiki in Nagoya.

There is no open space for morning exercise or anything.

"Why are there so many young men and women here at this time?"

I thought maybe everyone got up early and was working hard at something.

From The Clubs

I went to look a little at where those people were coming from.

Then I saw that they were all coming out of clubs.

I thought, "What, clubs?"

Dancing Till Morning

I have never been to a nightclub.

So I did not know.

People who dance at nightclubs dance until about 6 in the morning.

I thought clubs also closed at around midnight.

But you can totally dance all night until about 6 the next morning.

I thought they have amazing energy.

I really felt that I know nothing at all about the nightlife world.

A Wider View

In Nishiki, Nagoya, there are many young people even at 6 in the morning.

Probably, most of them are on their way home from clubs.

It was a little interesting, and it opened my eyes.
