Theatres & Live Music Venues in Tokyo

Tokyo has a wide range of performance spaces, and the eight venues below cover several of them: a flower-arrangement school's hall, a basement live house, municipal halls in Nakano and Setagaya, a national theatre in Shibuya-ku, and two smaller studios and theatres. Each entry gives what is known about where the venue is and how to contact it.

Some of these are run by public bodies, such as Setagaya Ward and the national theatre, while others belong to a company, a cooperative or a performing arts group. The entries differ in how much detail is available, so the descriptions below follow the verified facts rather than offering more than that.

Practical notes

Check each venue's website before you go, since the entries here list contact details and not opening hours. Most of the venues have a phone line or a web contact. The Zenrosai Hall entry is the only one marked step-free, so if access matters to you, confirm arrangements for the other venues directly.
