LIVE MUSIC TOKYO

Area Guide · 3 venues

OUTER TOKYO

Some of Tokyo's warmest rooms aren't anywhere near the famous districts. These neighborhood venues — a restaurant-style oldies house in Kinshicho, a Gotanda room with a free jam-session slot, a Chofu local running since 1988 — are where regulars know the band by name and a first-timer gets adopted by the end of the night.

Live House Fuse Box

A Kinshicho restaurant-style live house running three sets a night — 1950s oldies through 70s disco, band depending on the day.

Kinshicho Stn (8 min) · ¥3,000 music charge

Oldies Uncle

A Nishi-Chofu neighborhood bar since 1988 — live oldies, rock 'n' roll and disco on weekends, karaoke the rest of the week.

Nishi-Chofu Stn (5 min) · ¥2,000 (live nights only)

Rocky (Gotanda)

A bar-style Gotanda live house spanning late-50s through 80s oldies, with a free-session slot for customers to sit in.
