10. La Mama

适合： 夜生活

La Mama is a ‘standing room only’ live music venue in Shibuya that has been modeled after an old-style American live house. It features great bands playing mostly rock’n’roll but sometimes disco and techno.

Considering Japan’s fascination with the reinvention, it’s amazing that La Mama is still going strong since opening back in 1982.
