Yeah, you can go ahead and skip that shit. Just sleep during the day to prepare for the night.
> izakayas where everyone comes in groups and nobody wants to talk to you,
Large places tend to be like that, yeah. Organize a group ahead of time, either from a hostel bar or social media
> izakayas full of old men who will chat to you but are weird as fuck,
What's wrong with that? drunk old men in Japan are hilarious.
> foreigner bars full of loud Americans on their first trip abroad making a fucking mess.
Yeah, those suck. Avoid any place blasting loud music. The smaller, quieter bars can be a good place to relax and chill with people though (mostly English teachers or people who got married here 30 years ago)

I've had the best experiences at smaller places just outside the main tourist zones. Where there's enough foreigners that it's normal to be there and lots of people speak English, but it's not completely dominated by tourists. Also, these days, there's lots of Korean and Chinese tourists who can help with the language barrier.

But like the other people said, the best experience is really just going to girls bars or Kyabakura if you can afford it. you can spend all night getting wasted with the most beautiful women who pretend to like you (and are often good enough actors to make you feel it).
