Our favourite places across the city to support the local scene
Tokyo’s nights never sit still. One day it’s a fashion pop-up with free drinks, the next it’s a basement rave that feels like it might not end until the lights come on. The city’s nightlife is messy, stylish and impossible to keep up with, but that’s part of the pull. Every weekend there’s another room packed with fashion kids, DJs, and strangers you only think you’ll never see again.
So forget the konbini beers – there’s too much happening out there. Club nights, live shows, art parties, collaborations that only last a few hours before they disappear into memory. It’s sweaty, chaotic, and can sometimes be overwhelming, but always worth leaving your comfort zone for.
This list is your shortcut: the events that matter right now, the ones you’ll regret missing when everyone else is talking about them on Monday.
