Hip hop-focused clubs have always been around in Tokyo, but these are usually small venues, focusing more on domestic names than big international stars. Looking to bring a bit of international flavour and scale to the capital, the 1,000-capacity 1 Oak opened in Roppongi in August 2017. With outposts in New York and Los Angeles, 1 Oak has shaken up Tokyo's hip hop scene with fresh fare straight from the home of the genre.
To change things up, head on up to the new rooftop deck space located on the third floor offering evening views of Roppongi as well as house music; a nice change-up from the hip-hop playing on all the other floors.
