You would normally come up with Roppongi when you hear clubbing in Tokyo. However, there are many other cool social outings in not only Roppongi. You may find many interesting faces when you explore the Tokyo night! So, let’s check it out!
WOMB
Womb is a very well-known club especially for hip Japanese young guys! They renovated whole floors lately and now they are ready for welcoming you guys from all over the world with the coolest sound effects in Asia. In the main floor you may not be able to find DJ first as they play music at a very high stage. You have to look up if you really want to see their faces. But you don’t need it because you are already high with nice tunes and enthusiastic atmosphere without any dopes.

ageHa
This is the biggest club in Japan named Ageha. This club is so random there is even a pool inside (no swimming). You can get to the next step of your journey with many floors covering many kinds of music. You can access to this club by a minibus for free. The views from the bus is also so stunning. You can see Roppongi hills, Tokyo tower, Odaiba etc from the windows, which might boost your energy. When you get off the bus and leave your baggage at a cloakroom, you are ready to trip somewhere you have ever been!

Solfa
Do you know a movie called “Lost in translation”? Sometimes you feel you get lost in translation when living in this random city Tokyo. How do you deal with your loneliness when you feel hopeless? Step out of your room and talk to people this is a common sense though, one cool club named Air (close down in March,2006) was introduced in the movie. In the movie, the main characters discovered new cultures and people in the club and this experience cheered them up. Unfortunately, you can no longer get to the club Air though, Solfa can be the one which alternates the club air. Solfa is located in Nakameguro which is 5 mins away from Shibuya by train, and there are unique and creative parties which reflects Tokyo trends. If you want to have a bit spice in your life, join them in Solfa!
