Summer festivals in Japan can be strenuous — the heat won’t let up for hours. If you need a base to get ready or a spot to cool off from nearby Azabu Jūban Festival or Roppongi Hills Bon Odori, head to Homebase Tokyo.
What to expect
The Homebase Azabu Jūban Matsuri Party is an unofficial companion to the summer festival in Azabu Jūban. Starting at 3 p.m., it’s a great spot to stay out of the heat with some drinks and vibes. You can relax at the bar with a cooling summer cocktail or jam to the beats of the live performances.
And you don’t have to go home once the festival ends either. Homebase will keep things moving until 2:30 a.m., with singer/songwriter Riho 2G bringing her bilingual hiphop/R&B/pop fusion to the floor.
How to get there
The Homebase Azabu Jūban Matsuri Party will be held at the Homebase Bar in Roppongi. The easiest way to get there is via the Tokyo Metro, with the Oedo and Namboku lines calling at Azabu Jūban Station. From there, it’s a 9-minute walk. Alternatively, take the Hibiya Line to Roppongi Station, and from there, it’s an 11-minute stroll.
Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
