Blue Note Tokyo
ブルーノート東京
Aoyama & Omotesando · Omotesando Station, short walk
Why we recommend it
Blue Note Tokyo, opened in 1988 as the first overseas branch of New York's Blue Note, remains Japan's premier venue for touring international and top Japanese jazz acts in a proper dinner-and-show format. It is the Aoyama area's benchmark jazz club rather than a listening-bar imitation.

Jazz, in a jazz kissa and a club: More
Marunouchi & Tokyo Station
Cotton Club Tokyo
コットンクラブ東京
¥¥¥ · 120 min · English: no
A dinner-and-live-music room in a Marunouchi office tower named after Harlem's original Cotton Club, booking touring jazz and soul acts rather than running a jukebox jazz-kissa format. It suits visitors who want a proper table, food and drink service, and a set-length live show near Tokyo Station.
Shinjuku
Shinjuku Pit Inn
新宿ピットイン
¥¥ · 120 min · English: yes
Opened in 1965, this is one of Tokyo's oldest dedicated jazz live houses rather than a coffee-shop-style jazz kissa, still running two sets a day with a rotating lineup of Japanese and touring musicians. Its Shinjuku-sanchome basement room has kept its original small-venue, close-to-the-stage format for six decades.
