TIPS! There are hundreds of gay bars in Tokyo (mostly for gay men), located in Shinjuku 2 chome area. To get there take the Marunouchi subway line to Shinjuku 3-chome Station, or the Yamanote train line to Shinjuku Station (in direction of Isetan Department store). |

Club Panache at Advocates Bar in Shinjuku (or at Aoi Heya in Shibuya) about 3,000yen 1drink OPEN: Once a month, Saturday, 20:00-dawn (till 0am at Aoi Heya) *The most friendly party for all women but more adult atomosphere. They have two kinds of concepts. Club style (till dawn) is in Shinjuku 2-chome, the very L&G area in Japan. You can hung around freely when you enter there once. They have some performing time so check it out. The other one is the lounge style at Aoi Heya in Shibuya (a hystorical Chanson Bar in Japan), unfortunately women only time is till 0am there, but you can listen the nice live show.
