Best techno nights at The Loft in Shibuya 2026
the 4th sat monthly is teh one, crowd's older and they dont oversell so theres actually room to dance
4th sat is solid but they've been quietly cutting the guest list lately so get there before 11 if u want in without hassle.
Cutting the list is real but it's mostly the foreign-ID names they're strict on, regulars still walk in at midnight.
Foreign IDs get a longer look at the door but it's the same list rule for everyone, so regulars sailing in at midnight checks out.
good call on the crowd, though last month they packed it tighter than usual so get there before 11.
not teh oversell thing anymore, packed it last month
agreed but theyve been overselling since spring so get there before 11 or ur stuck at the bar side
midweek is where it's at tbh. wednesdays are cheap (like 2000 with a drink) and the crowd is mostly locals who actually came for the music, not photos. weekend guest nights get packed with groups treating it like a bar. check their twitter before u go, they post set times day of and sometimes cancel quietly
honestly the room redo helped the low end a lot, mids are still a bit muddy right at the bar side. i go mostly for the resident nights on the 2nd and 4th fri, cover's usually 3000 yen with a drink, guest nights push 4000 and are hit or miss. soundwise bring earplugs, they run it hot since the new stacks went in
yeah earplugs for sure, bar side mud is real
Best market shopping in Tokyo 2026 near Market Square
most stalls at that market are cash only so hit a 7-Bank ATM first & aim for 7-8am before the good stuff goes
Saturday mornings are a different beast, way busier.
Some fish vendors do take PayPay now.
yeah cash is king, bring coins too
Cash coins matter for the small veg stalls, they round up.
small 100 yen coins, they never round down
7-8am is right but go earlier on Sundays, stalls start packing by 10. Bring small bills since the vendors rarely break a 10,000 yen note early on.
Agree, though the ATM queue at 8am eats twenty minutes.
The 7-Bank inside the FamilyMart on the corner is the reliable one, the standalone machines get emptied fast. If you're after fish, vendors start marking down trays around 9:30 rather than selling out early.
Honestly the 7-8am window only really holds for fish and the prepared food side. The produce and dry goods stalls don't hit their stride til 9 or so, so don't rush past those. Vendors restock mid-morning anyway, it's not a one-shot sellout.
