Tokyo's live music scene is legendary. In a cramped metropolis where space is a primary concern, tiny live houses are the places that pump out the music in intimate settings. Head to Shibuya for big names and gigantic venues, or to Shimo-Kitazawa for funkier grooves and smaller surroundings. Live music keeps Tokyo running, and it can be found all over the city, if you know where to look.
