Tokyo has always lacked public partying on the same scale as other major cities. The most hyped second in history, the dawn of a new millennium - yet many of us still have no idea what to do to celebrate. Jamie Shea Street parties Yokohama will offer a spectacular setting, with fireworks and the awesome illuminations of the Cosmo Clock Ferris wheel. In Tokyo, the vast new TV screen on the Q-Front building in Shibuya , alongside the two other screens, promises a spectacular light show to mark the moment. For the hands of time, the historic clock on the Wako Building in Ginza will start to chime 45 seconds before midnight, when all twelve bells will ring and the building will light up with a New Year's decoration.
Every bar has a celebratory event to mark the occasion.
