Why Visit the Robot Restaurant at Shinjuku, Tokyo

The Robot Restaurant cabaret show is pure fun. A once-in-a-lifetime pleasure palace for people who don’t take life too seriously.

Be entertained as you’ve never been with an insane mash-up of crazy characters, lavish costumes, banging music, and dazzling lights at a wacky venue.

Japanese culture and folklore themes run throughout the show. A dizzying array of Kabuki theatre, samurais, ninjas, Taiko drummers, monsters, geisha, and of course, robots!

Set in the heart of Kabukicho – Shinjuku’s famous red-light district – you’re in for a feast of entertainment and neon lights. Around Kabukicho, you’ll see Godzilla looming high above the streets, its iconic red gate, and endless bars and restaurants. Why not watch the show, eat yakitori (chicken skewers) at Omoide Yokocho (known as ‘Piss Alley’), go bar-hopping in Golden Gai, and crash out in a ‘Love Hotel’.

On my journey, I’ve seen some weird stuff while travelling for a decade and living in London and Japan. For me, the Robot Restaurant show is the ultimate theatre of pulsating energy, weirdness and originality.

For the crazy ones out there, it’s a unique experience you’ll never forget!

In the words of the late, great, Japan-loving Anthony Bourdain:

I’ve seen Jimi Hendrix. I’ve seen Janis Joplin. I’ve seen David Bowie Diamond Dogs. I’ve seen Colleen Dewhurst and Jason Robards in A Moon for the Misbegotten, directed by José Quintero on Broadway, considered one of the greatest productions ever. And this was the greatest show I’ve ever seen in my life.

Robot Restaurant, Tokyo: Is it Worth it?

Is the Robot Restaurant worth it? You bet it is!

If crazy, bonkers, insane and ridiculous resonate with you, you’ll love the Robot Restaurant. Only Tokyo could put on an evening cabaret show so outlandish, fantastically fun and damn right weird!

Believe me; you won’t see anything like this in Las Vegas or anywhere else.

With so much attention to detail that’s gone into the props, costumes, visuals and sounds, it’s no surprise most reviews are positive.

The performers’ happy vibes, vigour and dedication made it for me. They all looked like they were having such a wonderful time!

Top Tips: Get the Most from Your Trip

Get the most out of your Robot Restaurant cabaret show trip with my top tips!

1. Watch the pre-show Robot Restaurant lounge bar opening act

Don’t miss the pre-show lounge bar act! Listening to a live artist singing soft melodies with a robot band is worthy of the main show itself. Soaking up the atmosphere with a drink (or three!) in the spaceship-like room gets you in the cabaret mood.

And getting there on time will make sure you…

2. Don’t arrive late

Arrive on time for the start of the pre-show, as mentioned above; it’s fantastic!

And don’t be late for the main cabaret show, or else you won’t get in! Being on time is essential in Japan, and the show must go on.

Don’t leave it to chance. Arrive early!

3. Young children

Loud sound effects, flashing lights and costumes make the cabaret show unsuitable for young children.

The Robot Restaurant has toned down the more risqué elements of the show, so you don’t have to worry about that. Although Kabukicho is a red-light district tame by many standards, it still has a seedy underbelly.

Not the ideal place for a family day out!

Best to use your judgement on whether to bring children. The afternoon show (Monday to Friday) has photo opportunities with the robots if you do.

4. Dress code and behaviour

You’re not allowed to wear sunglasses or extravagant costumes (like large wigs) at the show. And if you have visible tattoos, you’ll need to cover up.

Also, don’t arrive drunk or dishevelled, as you won’t get in.

5. Robot Restaurant or cabaret show?

A Robot cabaret show with light meals and snacks would be more apt to describe it! While a bento box is a novelty for some (and the food in Japan is always high quality), it’s not a restaurant.

Tokyo is the world’s number one food destination; have your evening meal elsewhere! Or, take a food tour in Tokyo to discover the city’s culinary culture.

6. Book early during Japan’s tourist high-season

The Robot Restaurant always sells days (or weeks!) in advance during cherry blossom season in March and April. And weeks before, you’ll find getting the exact date and times challenging.

Book as early as possible to avoid disappointment!

Other busy seasons include autumn leaves (mid-November to early December), Japan’s Golden Week holiday from 29 April for one week, and around Christmas.

7. Save money with discount tickets and coupons
