After a lengthy hiatus during the pandemic, hideaway bar and music venue Aoyama Tunnel has reopened and is ready to welcome back the city’s alternative partygoers. As its name suggests, the nightlife venue is located behind a black and yellow entryway at the head of the Aoyama Tunnel.
The space has undergone a renovation, so it looks a bit different from the grungy DJ bar you may remember. The art on the walls has been replaced with other pieces and new sofas have also been added. Even the sound system has been upgraded with Taguchi amps and the acoustic design has been adjusted so that people in every corner of the space will be able to hear the live music better.
Regular events feature DJs of all ages and backgrounds, though house music is the predominant genre here. Admission fees hover between ¥1,000 and ¥1,500 depending on the night.
