Tokyo is a complete sensory overload. During the day tourists flock to famous temples, shopping streets, and stuff themselves with ramen and sushi. At night the night owls hit local bars, sing karaoke till late at night, and of dance till the break of dawn at one of the famous nightclubs.
But did you know Tokyo has it’s own strip clubs?
Although not many, Tokyo does have it’s fair share of Strip Clubs with talented dancers. There are western style strip clubs, old-school Japanese strip theaters, and for the more… adventurous, peep shows.
In this article, I’ll provide everything you need to know about the different kinds of Strip Clubs in Tokyo also, and which strip clubs are worth a visit during your time in the city.
Western Strip Clubs
These are your traditional strip clubs. They are welcoming to tourists, have English staff on hand and feature a mixture of European, Asian and Japanese dancers. The atmosphere is lively, with a DJ playing clubby music while a stripper performs on a pole at the center of the club.
Just like in other countries, Western Strip Clubs in Tokyo are great for bachelor parties and are not strictly for dudes.
Dancers will rotate through the night with each dancing for 2 – 3 songs.
During the performance, guests can tip the girls starting at 1,000 Yen. At some strip clubs, the dancers will pull the customer onto the stage, lie them down with a dance performance and gently take their tip.
Following a round of performances, the staff will bring the dancers to the guest’s tables, where the guests will be encouraged to buy a dancer a drink. Guests are not required to chat or buy a drink for the dancer but in general, expect to purchase a cocktail or two for your favorite dancer.
During this time, you can ask the dancer or the staff for a private dance. This will often occur at your table or in a private booth for a more intimate dance show.
The pricing for a Western Style Strip Club in Tokyo usually includes a door charge, with one or two drinks for a set amount of time.
TANTRA TOKYO
Often frequented by celebrities, Tantra has been an establishment in Tokyo for over a decade.
Tantra is an excellent Strip Club that takes pride in its customer service and unique performances. The main stage features two different stages with poles. Unlike other strip clubs, Tantra specializes in stage shows with several girls performing sexy choreographed Japanese dances.
Tantra’s quality of girls are high with an emphasis on Japanese girls with a few westerners thrown in, and the vibe is nothing but top class.

Madam Woo Tokyo
This Shibuya strip club is creating a buzz with its curvy Japanese strippers. And for good reason, this strip club has generated so much hype within the Tokyo urban scene that they are selling their own original merch!
Imagine an American strip club with lots of twerking and yen thrown into the air to the sounds of hip hop and you’ll get a good idea of what the vibe is like here. There is a DJ booth, a small dance floor, and lots of seating. We wouldn’t be surprised if this style of strip club begins a movement of Japanese American-Style strip clubs.
If you are a fan of the booty, then definitely check out Madam Woo.
Pro Tip: Book a VIP table for a clear view of the performers.

Japanese Style Strip Clubs
Looking for a more risqué, and unique Japanese experience? Then Japanese Strip Theatre is the way to go.
Unlike Western Style Strip Clubs, Japanese Strip Theatres do not offer lap dances or much interaction with the guests, and the crowd is quiet. And there are set performance times, typically starting early in the afternoon till the evening.
After each show, guests can take photos with the nude dancers for a price of about 500 yen, usually with a digital Polaroid camera.
Japanese Strip Theaters have a uniquely Japanese quality to them in that the dancers are ranked 1 – 6 and perform in that order with 1 being the most senior or popular dancer. This ranking is based on seniority, popularity, and not always looks.
On many occasions, these strip theaters will feature Japanese porno stars which will attract dozens of Adult Video (AV) fans asking for signatures and photos after the show.
The below strip clubs are entirely welcoming to foreigners.
