Suigian is the only live house in Japan, and of course the only one in the world, featuring authentic Japanese traditional performing arts, which makes it a great night spot for tourists from all over the world. In a forest that suddenly appears in the heart of the city, close to Tokyo Station, there is the historic Fukutoku Shrine. If you go down the secret stairs that lead to the underground, you will find Suigian, a space that exquisitely mixes Japanese and Western styles, and in its center lies a Noh stage with its symbolic pine tree painted by the famous Kano faction 200 years ago.
On this Noh stage, which can be called a piece of art, various traditional Japanese performing arts are performed every night. In Japan, eating and drinking are usually prohibited when watching traditional performing arts, and you have to sit upright to watch, but this is not the case at Suigian. You can enjoy a seasonal performance along with a meal that reflects the season. Of course, you can also enjoy wine or sake that goes well with the meal. Suigian, where you can enjoy such special opportunities at your leisure, will surely become one of the climaxes of your trip to Japan.

If you want to encounter authentic traditional arts, you would probably imagine Kyoto, but unbelievably, this is in the heart of Tokyo. The destinations for travel to Japan these days are diverse and scattered, but Tokyo remains the gateway to the world. It's a good idea to include this at the beginning or end of your trip.
However, there were many tourists who only found out about Suigian after they arrived in Japan, and many who just couldn't find time for dinner in their limited schedules, and wondered if there was a way to use Suigian in a more casual setting. Even people living in Tokyo seemed to want to use it in a more casual setting in some scenes.
So now, Suigian is announcing a plan to enjoy bar time more casually. If you arrive after 9 p.m., you can purchase a set ticket including one performance of authentic traditional Japanese performing arts and two drinks for just 10,000 yen (tax not included). Of course, additional orders are welcomed. The performance starts around 10 p.m. so it's perfect for an enjoyable end to your night out in Tokyo.
There is a large lineup of alcohol such as Japanese sake, Japanese wine, Japanese whiskey and Japanese gin, while cocktails are made by a skilled bartender. There is also a wide selection of reliable brands of many non-Japanese wines and bourbons.
Suigian is a very valuable nightspot in Tokyo, where nights have become a little quieter recently since the COVID-19 outbreak. To begin with, watching authentic Japanese traditional performing arts at night is something special in itself.
In Japan, there was a tradition that makes it difficult to bring cultural elements into the night scene, but Suigian seems to have broken down that wall.
Here, you can experience the most quintessential Tokyo nightlife scene.
