I'm torn between Asakusa and Shinjuku for my upcoming Tokyo stay (7 nights). I've read probably over a hundred Reddit posts comparing the two, so I understand that they're very different.

I see people generally (but not universally) prefer Asakusa, but my only concern is whether Asakusa shuts down too much at night. I am not at all interested in clubbing, but I'd like ample choice for food or bars/izakaya at night after spending the day visiting other areas.

Can anyone shed any light on what Asakusa is like around 9pm-midnight during the week? Are there lots of food spots and bars/izakaya still open?
