Regarding night markets, one thing that I can think of in Japan are the festivals that accompany the fireworks. Particularly in July and August, these are night time events with lots of street food vendors. The food is typical Japanese street food like okonomiyaki or takoyaki, but most likely a bit overpriced. The atmosphere is good, but be prepared for crowds.
