About LGBTQ+ Tokyo
Tokyo's LGBTQ+ nightlife is concentrated in Shinjuku Ni-chome, which holds one of the densest clusters of gay bars in the world, hundreds of small venues packed into a few square blocks. Spaces range from tiny, regulars-only bars to larger international-friendly clubs, and the district is the unmistakable center of queer life in Japan. Tokyo Rainbow Pride draws growing crowds each spring. Most venues are intimate by design, so the district rewards wandering from one small bar to the next.
