You’re in Tokyo for the first time, and you want to find a bar to be with your people. So where to go? Well, there is a place that will be perfect for you. While Japan only has one Emperor, there is also only one King: King Tokyo.
Why is King Tokyo the best place for you to start your journey of Japan’s gay scene? Well, when you want to go to the top, why not go to the King? King Tokyo is the first spot in JGG’s Gay Night Tour, and is the best place to get your first taste of the gay lifestyle of Japan! Let us take you through the reasons this joint is the best bar to kick off your night!
Pride of Place
King Tokyo lies at both the entrance and the heart of Nichome, Tokyo’s gayborhood. This means it is the perfect place to start your night. Where better to enter the house than the doorstep, after all?
A bar that is at the very front of the biggest gay area in Tokyo, nay, in Japan, can hardly be said to be less than the premier place to be the prelude to your terrific evening. And not only is it the first stop of the JGG Night Tour, but it is one of the most inclusive spots that you can be inb: a mix bar that is popular among both Japanese people and those from overseas, making it ideal for anyone who wants to meet locals or hang with fellow visitors!
Get Your Drinks In
One of the best aspects of King Tokyo is that it has a nomihodai, or “all-you-can-drink” option, available from opening, at 6pm, until 9pm, for a mere ¥1,500. Now, that is an incredible deal, almost unmatched in the entirety of Japan, let alone Nichome!
But what can you get for your cash? Well, that’s easy! You can have as many beers as you like, from the time you pay until the end of your deal. But beer isn’t all! You can also have mixers, with spirits and various soft drinks for your pleasure. While it might sound like a way to get crazy drunk for very little money, in Japan it’s more or less instead a way to know how much you’re spending, so you can drink in peace, with comfort of mind.
Bust Your Moves
King Tokyo is a cool bar to have a sneaky drink in, but it is also a fabulous place to get your groove on! The bar has a wide dance floor for you and your friends to shake your money maker and have the night of your life!
The music played at King Tokyo is I. CON. IC. The top pop hits, the baddest dance numbers, and absolutely everything you can sing your heart out to. From the start of the night until the end, the tunes are incredible, the vibes are immaculate, and the chains are off.
In Summary
There is a good reason that King Tokyo is the headliner of JGG’s Gay Night Tour. There is no place better place for LGBTQ+ people to start their night in Tokyo, and no better way to find Japanese pride!
