Japan, Tokyo: “SEE HOW A POPULAR NIGHTCLUB IN TOKYO IS TRANSFORMED INTO A COVID-FRIENDLY LOUNGE”

Sel Octagon Tokyo has long been one of Tokyo’s most revered electronic music clubs with a reputation of booking some of the biggest international acts in dance music. Like most other clubs in the country, it was closed for many months following the onset of the pandemic earlier this year.

In recent weeks, however, several clubs in Japan have begun reopening their doors — although things aren’t quite like before. Faced with the prospect of not reopening at all in a post-corona era, Sel Octagon Tokyo adapted their model and has reopened in Roppongi as Japan’s first all-seat lounge club. The space has also been renamed Octagon Lounge Club.
