Tips

  • The 1F hall is not open every day - it opens for booked events, so check the schedule page on the official site before going.
  • On weekday evenings it runs as a jam-session bar, 18:00-23:00, 1,500 yen with one drink, and travellers can join in on vocals or instruments.
  • Bookings are mostly rock, jazz and hip-hop, but underground idol lives, idol talk-and-handshake events, anison DJ nights and cosplay events run regularly too.
  • The 2F and 3F rehearsal studios start at 600 yen per person per hour; renting the 1F hall starts at 7,000 yen an hour on weekdays.
