Jet Lag Club

Around Tokyo


Run by a former flight attendant and usually packed with a mix of flight crew and locals, this bar is a lively spot to get your bearings – or lose them. Plane spotters will love the array of aviation memorabilia – including dozens of pilot caps above the bar – donated by drinkers over the years.
