Musicians from Japan and abroad have been playing their hearts out at this famous institution since 2001. It's still one of the best clubs in town for jazz, fusion, or blues, nothing fancy but dedicated to the music (there's even a recording studio here). There are two programs daily, with up-and-coming bands performing in the afternoon and more established groups taking the stage in the evening. This is a great place for serious jazz fans interested in seeing firsthand the level of talent in Japan.
