Local tip

The Butoh-kan is small with only eight seats. Arrive early to secure your spot for the 18:00 show. Apollo is a hipster izakaya, so expect a lively, arty crowd rather than a traditional quiet dinner.

Check before you go

  • Apollo is open from 17:00 to 00:00.
  • Butoh-kan performances are only on Thursdays at 18:00 and 20:00.
  • K-ya has no listed opening hours, so check if it is open late.
