About
Perched on the 6th floor of Ginza's iconic Tokyu Plaza, Raise is a high-end, futuristic night club featuring a massive 27-meter-tall glass wall with stunning views of the Tokyo skyline. It attracts a fashionable, international crowd with its state-of-the-art sound system, dramatic LED lighting, and world-class DJ lineups. Expect a sophisticated, high-energy atmosphere that leans more towards a luxury lounge-club experience than a gritty underground rave.
What Japanese guides note
Japanese guides emphasize that Raise functions as an upscale cashless lounge on the 6th floor of Tokyu Plaza Ginza, directly connected to Ginza Station exits C2 and C3. Unlike more informal clubs in Shibuya, the venue strictly prohibits floor guests from wearing outerwear, demands physical photo identification, and requires patrons over 50 to secure VIP tables. Arriving during the prime-time window before midnight provides reduced entry pricing and bypasses the cloakroom delays common around peak hours.
