How to photograph bright signs at night?

I just got back from a trip to Japan. I'm not 100% happy with some of the night photos I took. They've got a nice vibe, but all of the illuminated signs have a bright glow around them, making it hard to read the text.

Normally I take landscape photos while hiking, this was my first time doing night photography, and the rain might also have been a factor. Was there something I missed when taking these photos?

I used Aperture Mode (f8 for first two, f2.8 for last two) on my A7RV with a Tamron 20-40mm lens. No filters or post-processing beyond the camera's built-in "Vivid" creative style.

Business Trip to Dublin - FD73

On a recent business trip to Dublin work got us tickets to a hop-on bus to go sight-seeing. It was my first time traveling internationally since getting my FD73, so it was fun to put it through its paces.

I took ~130 pictures across ten floppies, changing disks definitely was a conversation starter. One of the people on the trip wasn't even born when the camera came out!
