How to find house music events in Tokyo tonight

  1. Build a shortlist. Check RA (Resident Advisor) Tokyo listings. clubberia is another listing site with an English version.
  2. Confirm on the official schedule. Always open the venue's own page for the date and start time, because aggregators can lag behind changes.
  3. Read the genre. WOMB and Bridge tag genres on event pages, but not every venue does. Without a tag, read the description and line-up.
  4. Watch the date after midnight. A "Saturday night" event starts at 23:00 on Saturday and ends on Sunday morning, and is listed under its start date. If you want to go out on Friday night, pick the Friday listing.
  5. Check advance tickets. WOMB sells advance tickets for most events on the event page. VENT's advance sale ends at 23:59 the day before, and some VENT events have a before-midnight price.

If you are looking for deep house music in Tokyo, few listings say "deep house" outright. Read the description on nights tagged house, then listen to the DJs before you go.

Before you go

  • ID: Visitors should bring a passport. The official pages we checked did not say a copy is accepted, so carry the original.
  • Getting home: Late-night events run past the last train. Decide in advance whether you will stay until morning or take a taxi.
  • Going alone: The official pages we checked did not restrict solo entry. See our guide to meeting people as a solo traveler for more ideas.

Older lists sometimes name Contact in Shibuya, which closed in September 2022, so look for a current official schedule before you commit to a venue.
