    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Sakyou-ku Kawabatamarutamachi Shimo Shimukayecho 82 Emi-Su building B1F
    Opened in 1990, this club and live house is one of Japan's most venerable, and covers music from a wide range of genres. Numerous events are held on weekdays and weekends, with many clubbers and music lovers crowding the venue every night. In the evening, they have a culture school called Metro University that invites lecturers from many genres including music, movies, theater and literature, and it is utilized by people of all ages. It is appealing for its close proximity to Jingu-Marutamachi Station and its excellent location with easy access.

    This is my first visit to Club Metro and... truly it’s BEYOND THE THINGS THAT DESCRIBABLE IN WORDS! Nice artists, super friendly staffs! Awesome!

    Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto-shi, Kamigyo-ku Omiya Tousen Shimo Tadashi Le Hushiya-machi 815
    This live house is in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City. Housed in a refurbished sake brewery, their interior decor features tables and chairs made from sake barrels. Various bands and musical artists perform live, so you can drink and dine while enjoying the music. The menu offers a wide range of casual fare such as pilaf and their jittoku tanindon rice bowl.

    学生の頃から「拾得」と言えば、京都の音楽シーンを代表するライブハウスとして有名でした。酒蔵を改装して作られた古い建物は、京都の学生たちの熱い想いや歌声をずっと見守り続けてきたかと思うと感無量です。久々に足を運んでみましたが、ほんと当時の思い出がよみがえってきますね。

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Shimogyou-ku Tominokoujibukkouji Fall

    30年来の旧友を訪ねる京都の旅。下戸を相手で夜の時間の過ごし方が問題。で、どこかライブを紹介してもらったのがライブハウスの老舗「磔磔」。木造吹き抜けの内部は70年代学生運動真盛りのころの空気感が詰まっている。音楽もよさそうだが、雰囲気的に前衛舞踏の会場かと思った。トリップの書き込みで元酒蔵だと聞いて納得。この日は関西ブルースのベテラン、有山じゅんじさんのライブ。憂歌団の影響を思わせるとぼけた感じの...

    『モダン タイムス』と聞いてイメージするのは、コメディ映画 チャップリンの映画の名前でしょう。 自分は、最初行って想像しました。 なぜこの店名にしたのかは、分かりませんが、店内は、とても良いので、是非行ってみてください。

    小さなハコですが、結構な方々が演奏されています。 ステージまでの距離がほぼないに等しいのとステージまで出られるのに客席を通るので間近にプロのアーティストが感じられます。 トイレで普通に会う感じです。

    This is a jazz venue and bar, not a restaurant. It seats about 20 people, so every seat is a great seat. We really enjoyed the music - so close to the stage! A very good bar selection, and a small...

Kyoto Areas

around-area-map

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
