Yukio Mishima's favorite dive, The New Sazae, is still doing business here, as is a century-old, two-story wooden brothel.īacklit signs scramble from the street to the sky, like chapter headings of Ni-Chome's tawdry autobiography: By day, its Buddhist graveyards are haunted by stumbling zombies of last night's overindulgences and serenaded by the melancholy caws of giant black crows which nest in the ancient pines of nearby Gyoen-mae Park. A carnival of shadows from dusk till dawn, here you will find 24-hour love motels, fetish mix boxes (no frills sex spaces), noodle dens and gay pride boutiques - all catering to the parade of intoxicated salarymen, transgender hostesses, gangster pimps, Sumo wrestlers, public masturbators and sexual samurai of every clan. While just a gaudy speck on the hemline of Tokyo's neon kimono, Ni-Chome is the main hub of Tokyo's gay scene. The majority of foreigner-friendly bars are shuffled into the hundreds of nightclubs packed into Shinjuku Ni-Chome, a tiny sub-district between BYGS Building (at the Shinjuku Sanchome Subway Station Exit C8) and Shinjuku Gyoemmae Subway Station a few blocks further east. Men-only except Wed night when women with a gay male friend are welcome.

If you are Thai you'll be a big hit here, but international men are also welcome. Master, Hiroki, is a fan of Thailand, so his bar's design is tropical modern with decor from Southeast Asia.

Gay bar close to Shibuya Station and easy to find. If you are a young gay man who knows a little Japanese you may just become a regular! Open Nightly. The staff and customers are cute and often take holiday trips together (photo albums are on hand). There is a table charge that includes a snack (we had an artistic arrangement of delicious fresh fruits). Master, Toshi, helms his casual bar with the bright colors of tropical fish (which you can see swimming in various containers) and themed with Chinese pop flavors, from fung shui calligraphy along the top of the walls to the dragon kite hanging from the ceiling. This traditional gay bar is a nice change from Ni-Chome for men in their 20s and 30s.

Many clubs have now switched to the simpler "shot" system of paying per drink purchased, although cover charges may go into effect on holidays and for special events. Some bars include a flat "table charge" that usually comes with an unthrilling dish of standard bar munchies. The best traditional bars reflect the sparkling personalities of owners who are highly skilled in entertaining their customers. This can take some time, so relax and have fun. Traditional places cater to leisurely conversations with the Masta (Master), and his bar staff who will politely quiz you and then introduce you to other customers they feel are a good match for a chat. Although bar-hoppers may opt to avoid traditional bars, these venues provide the extra service of social lubrication and really should be enjoyed, at least once, by visitors. Traditional bars include a tasty snack, sometimes cooked on the spot, along with the first drink and so prices are a bit higher to start off. There are several sorts of systems in play these days.

The following venues are friendly towards visitors, although the smaller bars will prefer that you match the "type" they specialize in (many bars have limited seating and so try to attract the crowd they specialize in). Also, there is no tipping or added taxes on bar bills which means Tokyo is an astonishing value for travelers! A night out in Tokyo has deflated down to earth from the champagne stratosphere, with drinks now averaging around US$6.
