Frequently asked
What's happening tonight in Tokyo?
Tokyo runs a deep nightlife scene across Shibuya (WOMB, VENT, clubasia, R Lounge), Roppongi (Zerotokyo), and Shinjuku (Ni-chōme queer bars, livehouses like Loft and Marz). Plus jazz at Pit Inn and Body & Soul, experimental nights at Forestlimit and Soup, and a busy livehouse circuit from Shimokitazawa to Koenji.
What are the best techno clubs in Tokyo?
WOMB is a four-floor Shibuya techno and house club with a Funktion-One main room. VENT in Omotesando is the pick for long-form sets and a no-photo policy. Aoyama Tunnel is the small underground spot. Zerotokyo is the newer large-format venue inside the Kabukicho Tower.
How much do Tokyo clubs cost?
Cover at most clubs runs ¥3,000–¥4,000 with one drink ticket; international DJ nights at WOMB or Zerotokyo can hit ¥5,000–¥6,000. Smaller livehouses are ¥2,000–¥3,000 plus a one-drink purchase (¥600–¥1,000). Pre-sale tickets are usually ¥500 cheaper than paying at the door.
When do Tokyo clubs close?
Major clubs run 23:00 until ~05:00 (first train), with afterparties at Aoyama Tunnel and some Roppongi spots going later on weekends. Last trains stop around midnight, so many people stay out until first trains at 05:00 rather than try to leave mid-night.
