Jazz Bar Samurai

Jazz Bar Samurai

ジャズバー侍

Tokyo · Kanto

Jazz Bar Samurai is a small jazz bar three minutes' walk from Shinjuku Station, open 6:00 PM to midnight every day, its walls lined with the owner's record collection. It opens only in the evening, so it cannot be worked into a daytime itinerary.

Why it's hidden

Many travelers overlook this hidden gem due to its unassuming entrance and the abundance of more prominent nightlife options nearby.
