Tokyo: What to See & Do: Nightlife: SuperDeluxe

SuperDeluxe

If you want to impress your arty friends back home, SuperDeluxe deserves a visit. This restaurant-bar-gallery–event space–artists’ collaborative, hidden in a Roppongi basement, embodies a large part of what people adore about Tokyo: it never ceases to amaze you. The space, which looks like a concrete bunker and is difficult to find without a map, hosts a variety of events, from traditional DJ nights to exhibitions of local artists’ work to music and dance performances. But perhaps the bigger draw is the chance to observe Tokyo’s hip young things in their natural setting. Forget Ginza and the dark-suited salarymen; this is where the creative subculture comes together to prove that luxury shopping isn’t the only thing that inspires the Japanese.
