Gay Tokyo: City of dichotomies

From ganguro girls with painted faces, to stern businessmen clad in suits—their days spent behind a desk and nights behind a bar, Sapporo in hand--to young men celebrating with style a new spirit of gay liberation beginning to emerge in this conservative culture, this is a place of vast contradictions. There are... More

TOKYO ACTIVITY

  • bananalover gave * to Arty Farty
    Bars & Clubs in Tokyo
    Overrated , stuffy , rude staff
    Music consists of the same repetitive pop with tracks coming up 3/4 times a night ( and night there is short!!). When 70% of the customers are foreign, not having staff with basic English skills ( hello and thank you ARE basics !!) is just ridiculous, staff is also very clearly much more polite to Japanese customers than to foreigners. Avoid the "Nocturnal" specials where nothing is "special" apart from the added door charge .

    Fashion on the Edge
    5 floors of fashion and art installations curated by Comme des Garçons' Rei Kawakubo. Even non-fashionistas will find this to be interesting. When all of the shopping wears you out, head up to the 6th floor for tea and snacks at Rose Bakery. Located behind UNIQLO's 12 floor flagship.

    Good Bar that Spills Outside
    Crowd spills out onto the street which is fun. Strong ex-pat presence the couple of nights I went. Good place to start out the evening.

    Decent Place For a Drink
    One of the more comfortable places in Ni-Chome to hang out and have a drink or two. OK crowd. Definitely worth a stop.

    What's Not to Like?
    Friendly all-male bar with a huge drink menu and reasonable prices. One of the largest gay bars in Shinjuku-Nichome. I enjoyed it!
