Shimo-Kitazawa Three

Shibuya & Shimo-Kitazawa

We love Three's mission to make live music more accessible in Tokyo: it hosts 10 free events a month (otherwise they average around ¥2000). The line-up is pretty random, but the welcoming attitude means there's usually a good crowd, which doesn't take much – capacity is 170. Live shows start around 6pm or 7pm; club events from 11.30pm.
