The iconic Shibuya mega-club where Asia's largest mirror ball spins over four floors of house, tech-house and techno a short walk from Shibuya Station.
Four floors of electronic music — house, tech-house and techno — with the programming changing by night. International headliners take the main floor (home to Asia's largest mirror ball, a full digital rig, strobes and lasers), while local DJs run the three sub-floors. Which nights are house depends on the promoter, so check the Calendar on the official site or the RA listing before you go — a big-name house or tech-house billing is your safest bet for a four-to-the-floor night.
- DOOR
- Not a strict door — WOMB is a big, tourist-friendly club, not a Berlin-style face-check. Photo ID is mandatory and enforced: it's 20+ (Japan's legal age), and foreigners should bring a passport (driver's licence or Basic Resident Registration Card also accepted). There's no formal dress code — official line is "come in your favourite fashion" — but beach sandals can be barred seasonally and obviously inappropriate clothing may be refused. No under-20s during club hours.
- DRESS
- Casual — no formal dress code; avoid beach sandals and anything wildly inappropriate

- Assume no photos on the floor — many clubs cover phone cameras.typical
- AGE

- CASH
- ¥1,500-3,500 typical (¥6,000-8,000 for big international headliners), as of 2026 · card / cash
- GETTING IN
- Buy an advance ticket via the Calendar on womb.co.jp — advance is usually about ¥1,000 cheaper than the door and worth it on headliner nights. Otherwise pay cash or card at the door: roughly ¥1,500 on weekdays (Mon-Thu), ~¥3,500 on regular Fri/Sat nights, and ¥6,000-8,000 for major internationals (as of 2026). Entry does NOT include a drink — drinks are sold separately (soft drinks from ¥500, beer/cocktails from ¥700). Arrive after midnight for the main floor to fill; last trains stop around 00:30, so plan to stay till the ~05:00 close or budget for a taxi. Bring your passport.

Short answer: WOMB is Tokyo's iconic four-floor superclub in Maruyama-cho, Shibuya — open and going strong in 2026 after its 25th anniversary in 2025. It's the tourist-friendly, big-room way into Tokyo's house and techno scene, with Asia's largest mirror ball spinning over the main floor.
What it is. Four floors — a main floor plus three sub-floors — holding roughly 1,000 people. The main floor packs a full digital sound system, strobes, lasers and that famous mirror ball; the sub-floors give local DJs and second rooms their own space. It's polished, loud and built for a proper night out.
The music. House, tech-house and techno, programmed night by night. International headliners take the main floor while Tokyo locals run the sub-floors, so the exact genre depends on who's booked. A big house or tech-house name is your safest four-to-the-floor bet; check the Calendar on the official site or the RA page first. (WOMB has historically hosted drum & bass too, but a current 2026 recurring D&B night isn't confirmed.) There's no publicised resident roster — nights are promoter- and guest-driven.
The door & how to get in. This isn't a strict, face-checked door — it's a large, welcoming club. But photo ID is mandatory: it's 20+ (Japan's legal drinking/clubbing age) and foreigners should bring a passport. Buy advance tickets via the Calendar on womb.co.jp — usually about ¥1,000 cheaper than the door and smart on headliner nights. Otherwise pay at the door with cash or card.
Practical. Roughly ¥1,500 on weekdays, ~¥3,500 on regular Fri/Sat nights, and ¥6,000-8,000 for major internationals (as of 2026). Two things visitors get wrong: there's no formal dress code (the official line is literally "come in your favourite fashion" — just skip beach sandals and anything wildly inappropriate), and entry does not include a drink — drinks are separate (soft drinks from ¥500, beer and cocktails from ¥700). It's a ~7-10 minute walk from Shibuya Station. Doors and peak run late; last trains stop around 00:30, so plan to stay to the ~05:00 close or budget a taxi.
Worth it? Yes — for a first-timer in Tokyo who wants a reliable, high-production house/techno night without gambling on a tiny underground room, WOMB is the obvious pick. It's a big, mainstream-leaning club rather than a heads-down purist basement, so if you want something rawer and more intimate, look elsewhere. But for spectacle, sound, and an easy Shibuya location, few venues in Asia do it on this scale.
