This closing time is can be either awesome, or trouble… but if you live outside of the city and miss your midnight train from Hakata, it could be a great place to hang out until the trains start running again at 6am… if you can stay awake.

If you’re the only customer left, the staff will probably stay until you leave! (I’ve seen it happen before)
That is pretty cool!! You can decide when the bar closes. Very handy if you miss that last train!!
Missing the train is the worst if you live far away. Having to go home at 11:15pm vs staying out late and paying 2500-4000 Yen for a taxi vs staying out until 6am for the first train is a pretty tough decision.
That’s awesome. All the more reason to move to Japan.
That would be cool. But not when your house is only some minutes away from Hakata
You could walk! I bet you’d get from Tenjin to Hakata in about 30 minutes? Unless you meant the house is ‘some minutes away’ by train. Ouch!
Wow great!!! I want to experienced those things…Japan is indeed a great country to visit…^_^
or maybe they mean that if you’re the only customer they leave you there on your own and you can close the bar yourself… which is nice too
Nice! I used to go to a place in my town where I would always turn up early, the master eventually gave me his number and just got me to call it when I wanted him to open up. Same sort of deal with closing time!
Hey you, just go and close yourself!! xD
Interesting… all the alcohol lovers out there would be happy to find a place that offers this kind of service. Thanks for sharing!
