Tokyo Gig Guide
Tokyo's live music culture is built on live houses, basements and late-night clubs — from Shinjuku and Shibuya to Koenji, Shimokitazawa, Kichijoji and beyond. A Tokyo gig guide helps you cut through scattered flyers and social posts to see what's actually on this week.
Otowah lists shows from small and mid-sized rooms so you can follow venues you care about and find gigs tonight or later in the week.
