4 Top Secret Hidden Bars in Tokyo - Tokyo Night Life Series
Tokyo Japan is full of secrets and surprises at every corner. In this video I will take you on a journey to 4 of my favourite hidden bars / speakeasys across west Tokyo (Ebisu & Shinjuku). If you are living or traveling in Tokyo, this can be a perfect off the beaten path adventure, even on a raining day!

00:33 Jeremiah (Speakeasy behind a picture frame)
01:52 Janai coffee (Speakeasy disguised as a coffee shop)
03:02 A10 (Hidden bar pretending to be storage lockers)
03:33 Bin (Hidden bar in a back ally no one thought to go)
04:45 Extro - Thank you for watching
Here are the bars featured in the video:

With a price like that they should really be hiding 😂
All the bars look really cool, especially the Bin bar. But as a lowly English teacher with three kids in Hokkaido, 6000 yen for three drinks is really steep. I'd hope the cocktails are absolutely amazing!

It is steep i admit even for tokyo dwellers. I am making part 2 of this video, and was more shocked by some of the prices.
At Jeremiah right now thanks to you! Its great!

Went to Janai coffe last year, and it was wonderful! They're drinks were such an experience and so good. The staff there were so wonderful as well! I loved the name of the place too, so funny! Literally "Not Coffee", but posed as a coffee shop :) P.S. - They do serve coffee too and it was great to be able to get one to go at the end of the night!

5000 yen for allegedly the best cocktails in town (3x) is a complete steal, especially smack in the middle of Tokyo! Is it _that_ cheap to drink in Japan?
@Nihonhack
Жыл бұрын
This is actually considered expensive in Tokyo! Normal drinks are cheaper but I would not consider those “real” cocktails - it’s usually not very strong
I remember when I was in Tokyo they had a coffee bar and the girls dressed up like school girls...and they pretended you were bad so they had to discipline you and they would get a ruler out and spank you. That by far beats any starbucks.

Be mindful of the rules of the bar, spoken and unspoken. Especially if you're a tourist. This is ok but I recommend to be able to speak some Japanese. Many of these bars don't have anyone speaking English. Ebisu and Shinjuku are typical foreigner hangouts. There are many other areas to try so explore a bit more 😉
Very interesting! I wonder how do people find these places 🧐

Hi, Such a great inspiring video. Living in US for more than 2 decades (although I'm Japanese but have very limited knowledge of bars in Japan), I want to try visiting these bar this month. By the way, is it really easy to walk-in to these bars? I mean, do they accept first-time customers? Just curious. Anyway, thanks for lovely info!

Thanks for the lovely comment! Some of the bars might require a reservation - Jianai coffee for instance needs reservations online. As for other bars, first timer is totally fine! They are welcoming!

@@Nihonhack The issue is owners of two clubs I frequent in Tokyo and you covered here aren't happy with sudden over-exposure. They were keen for them to be made known but now after you posted your video they're inundate with not just Jazz fans, but an occasional visitors too, which they don't really appreciate.
Now not so secret anymore.
I guess they aren't 'top-secret' bars any longer eh? If this brings a ton of tourists - it will also bring the undying enmity of the locals. But hey. clicks.

Nah, prices may be all right for Tokyo, but my common sense tells me they are way to steep. I go to a bar to get intoxicated not to admire the surroundings as a I would normally do in a museum. I'll skip your suggestions. Thanks but no thanks.

Hi thanks for the video, I’m heading to Tokyo within a few days so this is rly helpful 😊 um if I may, could u recommend a lounge or bar where a lot of expats hang? Preferably somewhere nice and no budget limits! Besides the local bars and small dinings, I’d also like to experience and mingle with people who live there. Again, thanks for the video!🤍
