Schibuya Jazz & Blues Clubs Tokyo Japan | along the Yamanote line
Hello Traveller to Japan
Tokyo’s maze of public transport is difficult to navigate. My advice is to look at the poison green line of Yamanote. It covers major tourist attractions and you do not need a wifi to check where you are going. If you use an App, I recommend the “Japan Travel App” but Google is fine as well.
The Yamanote line circle is going clockwise and anti-clockwise through Tokyo. It is easy to remember this line and to get around. I review every station on this line. Today’s Station review is Shibuya and recommend Blues and Jazz bars for evening entertainment.
Shibuya is home to several notable jazz and blues bars where music lovers can enjoy live performances, listen to vinyl records, or just soak in the atmosphere. Here are some prominent jazz and blues spots in Shibuya:
### Jazz Bars:
1. **Jazz Bar Pres**:
- **Location**: Up Dogenzaka Street, near Shibuya Station
- **Details**: Known for its intimate atmosphere, Pres Jazz Bar features murals of jazz legends on the walls. It's a small venue where you can enjoy both live jazz and vinyl records. The owner, Iwasaki-san, has curated an experience centered around appreciating jazz music.
2. **JBS (Jazz, Blues, Soul)**:
- **Location**: 1-17-10 Dogenzaka, Shibuya-ku
- **Details**: Owned by Kobayashi-san, JBS is famous for its vast collection of over 10,000 vinyl records. It's more of a listening room where music takes center stage, with drinks being secondary. The bar specializes in jazz, blues, and soul, with some hip-hop selections, offering a unique experience for music enthusiasts.
3. **Blue Note Tokyo**:
- **Location**: Though technically in Aoyama, it's close enough to Shibuya to be considered part of its cultural landscape.
- **Details**: This renowned jazz club attracts top international and Japanese jazz artists. While it's more of a concert venue than a bar, the intimate setting, excellent acoustics, and high-end service make it a must-visit for jazz aficionados.
4. **The Bellwood**:
- **Location**: Not in central Shibuya but near Kamiyamacho, a short walk from Shibuya Station.
- **Details**: This bar offers a luxurious setting with a focus on cocktails, but it also hosts jazz nights, providing a chic environment for jazz listening.
5. **The Room**:
- Though more eclectic in its music selection, The Room is known for its funky/groovy music nights which include jazz and blues influences. It's a place where you can dance to live music without pretense.
6. **Shibuya Swing**:
- More of a cafe during the day, this spot becomes a place where you can enjoy jazz in a relaxed setting. It's known for its coffee and cozy atmosphere, providing a contrast to the bustling streets of Shibuya
7. **Seabird**:
- This old-school cafe between Shibuya and Omotesando stations offers jazz in a traditional setting. It's not specifically a blues club, but its dedication to jazz culture makes it noteworthy.
8. **Blues Alley Japan**:
- While not directly in Shibuya, it's close enough to mention. It's one of the more sophisticated venues with live music, offering an eclectic mix that includes blues.
9. **Body and Soul Club** in Shibuya is a renowned jazz venue in Tokyo, Japan, known for its intimate atmosphere and high-quality live music performances. Here are some key points about this club:
10. **Club Camelot**:
- **Location**: Near Shibuya Station
- **Details**: While primarily an EDM club, Camelot sometimes hosts blues nights or events with a blues theme, especially in their lounge area. It's not a dedicated blues bar but offers variety in Shibuya's nightlife scene.
11. **Naru**
Naru Bar Yoyogi, often referred to as just "Naru," is a well-known jazz club located in the Yoyogi neighborhood of Tokyo:
- Naru is described as a cozy, intimate jazz club with a family-like atmosphere. The venue is in the basement with a small sign indicating its presence, giving it an unassuming but welcoming vibe.
- - The club is celebrated for hosting high-quality jazz musicians, both from Japan and abroad. It's known for its live music events, often featuring two or three sets a night, starting around 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM.

    Quickly looking at the graphs on that LCD display (BTW, are sure that doesn't have English in the settings menu?) you can see that your PV panel grid size is slightly undersized, especially seeing that you're short on August power generation. Also, your payback on your system is never going to really pay back because the feed in rate is BELOW the charged rate per kWh. To be fair to everyone, the meter should just spin backwards on a 1:1 ratio so there's no silly formulas needed for time of day rates, etc. Another big issue if you don't already have a battery bank to charge with your excess power generation is you're really giving up the best part of a solar power system, emergency backup power for when the inevitable crap hits the fan which in Japan is more often than not.

    • @MartinaTakano
      @MartinaTakano 10 місяців тому

      No English, somehow Nov Dec are good month and two years in the row August wasn’t’t that great. We charge our car, the battery can feed back to the house. We had 3 days power outage in 8 years but I agree, a fixed battery would be great. Money money money is needed 😃 The rates are changing regularly and charging at night (car) is no longer cheaper.

    • @FirstLastOne
      @FirstLastOne 10 місяців тому

      @@MartinaTakano That's why I have always advocated to the power companies to just K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Senpai) and go with the 1:1 ratio on net metering (feed in tariff). What you make (kWh) is what you have in credit (kWh). This removes all the fancy charts for time of day use, holiday (low business demand), phase of the moon (for crazy people trying to contact far away places), etc., etc., etc.

    We are returning again to Japan in May, 2023 and will look for your sake recommendations in the store. When we were in Tokyo last October we tasted various sake at the Japan Sake and Shochu Information Center. We are now sake experts! lol. Thank you for the excellent video starring your husband.

    Hello Martina! Thank you for the very informative video. We're going to Japan on Jun 23-30 2023. We're planning on visiting a few places, Kyoto, Fuji, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Asakusa, Akihabara, Tokyo and Yokohama. Does it really heavily rain everyday to the point wherein it's better to stay indoors?

      Japan is spread over 3000 km and rainy season is different from region to region and it is still very hot in Japan, even with rain. Cherry blossom arrives early this year, so maybe the rainy season is not on time, difficult to say. When it rains, it rains a lot, not as bad as Monsum but close. Prepare for some indoor activity, hotels have umbrellas for you, waterproof shoes, it will be fine.

      Best is to research weather history in the location where you want to go
