What Japanese guides note
Visitors often confuse this flagship venue in the Southern Palace Building with its separate sister branch, THE CHŌ PINK, located inside the Park10 Building. Entrance fees increase after midnight, while the main dance floor and stage performances reach full capacity after 01:00. Door staff conduct mandatory identification checks and enforce dress code regulations restricting sportswear, tank tops, and sandals.
