Before you go

Going to a show in Tokyo

Where the venues are

Tokyo's small live houses cluster in Shimokitazawa, Shinjuku and Shibuya, each a few minutes' walk from the station. The venue guides below include directions from the nearest exit.

Tickets

Popular shows sell advance tickets through Japanese ticket sites; smaller nights often sell at the door if not sold out. Each event page links to the venue's own listing, which has the final word on price and tickets.

On the night

Bring cash for the door and the drink fee, and check your last train: most Tokyo lines stop around midnight. Floors are standing and small, so keep bags small and use station coin lockers.
