About

ArcH is one of Tokyo’s most iconic LGBTQ clubs, originally opening in 1997, closing in 2014, and reopening in July 2025 with a completely redesigned venue in Shinjuku Nichome. The club is famous for its themed dance parties, international DJs, drag performances and its eye-catching glass-enclosed shower stage, where professional go-go dancers perform choreographed shows throughout the night. These performances, alongside regular go-go boy appearances at many weekend events, have become one of ArcH’s signature attractions.
