How to find it
In the Sotokanda 3-chome block west of Chuo-dori, on the basement floor of the building at 3-2-14 beside the Akibaoo parts-and-sundries shop. Six minutes from JR Akihabara's Electric Town Exit, seven from Hibiya-line exit 3, eight from the Tsukuba Express A2 exit. There is no lift, so it is stairs down.
Tips
- It is not a walk-in venue: it opens only for booked events, so check the performer's or organiser's announcement for the day before heading over.
- Capacity is 150 standing, 100 theatre-style or 80 at tables, in about 200 square metres.
- It sits one floor underground with no lift - stairs only - and has no parking of its own.
- The venue is fully non-smoking and has separate changing rooms and two dressing rooms, which is why idol lives and cosplay shoots use it.
- Opened in 2017 and run by Sound Graffiti, whose sister venue is Yotsuya LOTUS.
