Top 10 Tokyo Nightclubs of 2024

Tokyo is one of Asia’s top nightclubbing destinations and for good reason. The city has several DJ MAG’s Top 100 nightclubs, a long and rich history of night clubbing, and the world’s biggest DJs performing in Tokyo nightclubs on a weekly basis.

With such a wide range of Tokyo nightclubs available, it can be hard to determine which club to spend your night partying away. Let us ease your nightlife decision making with our updated list of the Top 10 Tokyo Nightclubs of 2024.

Our Selection Criteria

We are making our selection based on the following criteria:

Entertainment: The club needs to be exciting, and provide thrills that customers can’t experience anywhere else. This entertainment could be top tier DJs or incredible stage production.
The quality of sound: It is a nightclub, after all, and we want to dance without having our ears ringing the next morning.
Popularity: A dead club on a Saturday night is awful, but a club full of thirsty men is the worst. The venue should also have a decent ratio of male to female guests.
Safety: Feeling safe in a nightclub is a must. Women must be able to enjoy the club without being harassed. Additionally, the nightclub should not be overcrowded with overly aggressive security guards.
Value: Spending a fortune on a simple gin tonic at the bar is “No Bueno.” And no one wants to break their bank at a VIP table with surprise service charges. The club should have a balance between well-priced drinks and reasonable doors prices.

The Top 10 Tokyo Nightclubs

WARP Shinjuku

WARP Shinjuku opened its doors in late 2018, but this nightclub has already completely shaken up the Tokyo nightlife scene. Shinjuku’s complete lack of any real nightclub has allowed WARP to completely dominate.

The location is dead center in Shinjuku’s red light district Kabukichi, only a 5-minute walk from popular tourist sites like Golden Gai and the Robot Restaurant.

Inside the venue, Warp boosts some hard-hitting sound on the main floor, supported by stellar production value and the largest LED screens in Japan. In addition to the main floor, Warp features three additional dance floor with a total of 4 bars.

WARP Shinjuku regularly invites top International acts, ranging from Hardstyle EDM DJs, to live Hip Hop performers. A little something for everyone. The crowd is very mixed with Japanese clubbers, international tourists from all over the world, and local hostesses.

If you are exploring Shinjuku, then WARP Shinjuku is an absolute must-see nightclub.

Pro Tip: WARP Shinjuku opens early from 7 pm, so even if you don’t want to party late this nightclub can accommodate you. We also suggest ordering drinks from the Cosmo bar as the lines tend to be shorter.

Address: 160-0021 Tokyo, Shinjuku City, Kabukicho, 1 Chome−21−1

RAISE

RAISE is a popular nightclub in Tokyo and is quickly filling a much-needed gap in the scene.

It does this by utilizing massive lasers, huge confetti canons, top-quality performers, and the best bottle service in the scene. It also doesn’t hurt that the club looks almost like an electric cathedral with enormous windows that allow for amazing views of the Ginza skyline.

Ginza has been craving a proper nightclub and RAISE fulfills that need in spades.

Before heading to RAISE, be sure to dress up as the club adheres to a strict dress code policy.

Pro Tip: The lines for RAISE are massive. Arrive early to avoid waiting.

WOMB

WOMB continues to be the go-to nightclub for house, techno, and bass music parties. It was ranked #47 in the DJ MAG Top 100 nightclubs prestigious list which makes WOMB the must-see Shibuya nightclub for most Tokyo travelers. The club’s interior recently received a makeover, including new lighting, an upgraded lounge floor and an entirely new VIP balcony that overlooks the main floor. Saturday nights at this Tokyo nightclub can provide some of the purest nightclub experiences available in Tokyo.

Pro Tip: Skip the weekdays. Despite WOMB’s status as a top-tier Tokyo nightclub, the weekday events are always slow featuring DJs who play disturbingly cheesy EDM music.

Super club in the heart of Shibuya’s nightlife district.

ATOM TOKYO

ATOM is another popular nightclub in the Shibuya with a long operating history, 15 years to be exact. Everything about this club screams, Shibuya! Recently the club gave its 1st and 4th floor a much-needed makeover. Friday and Saturday nights can be unbearably crowded, with overly aggressive security. But we are adding this club to our honorable mentions because the weekday parties here are the best in all of Tokyo. Always busy, loads of ladies only seats, three different floors, and cheap 500 yen drinks.

Pro Tip: Atom Tokyo gets crowded on the weekends. Visit on the weekday’s for the perfect weekday party.

Ce La Vi Tokyo

Ce La Vi is Shibuya’s most high end night club with killer views of the Shibuya skyline. Premium cocktails and international vibes are what you will find here. The clubs main floor is tiny though, so don’t expect to do much dancing here. When the outdoor patio opens in the summer, that is when Ce La Vi Tokyo really shines.

Club Camelot

Club Camelot received a renewal on its main floor back in 2020. A larger dance floor with better VIP options. Unfortunately, the club isn’t quite as exciting as it was with its previous management. But it is still a solid option for those looking for a standard night out at a Japanese disco nightclub.

Club Camelot host 3 different dance floors each with a different genre, large bars and dozens of VIP tables.

Pro Tip: The b1 floor is hard to find, but its worth checking out. Typically smaller organizers make parties here, and it can get quite interesting.
