The short version

Shinjuku is the one district where our partner clubs sit close enough to walk between: TIDE and WARP in Kabukicho, THE PINK in Shinjuku 3-chome and T2 just west of the station. That makes hopping easy — but let’s be straight: four clubs means four covers, so hopping always costs more than staying in one. What a guest pass does is take a little off each door (and at TIDE, add a drink instead). Below is a real Saturday route with every door and pass price, so you know the total before you set out.

The math: what four doors really cost

Here’s one Saturday night, stop by stop, for one man and one woman — door price vs guest pass price, from the rates each club gives us.

Stop (Saturday)Man: door → passWoman: door → passDrinks incl. (door / pass)
1 · TIDE TOKYO (from 22:00)¥2,000 → ¥2,000¥1,000 → ¥1,0001 / 2
2 · THE PINK TOKYO (same price all night)¥3,000 → ¥2,500¥1,500 → ¥1,000none / none
3 · WARP SHINJUKU (after 23:00)¥4,000 → ¥2,000¥1,000 → free1 / none
4 · T2 SHINJUKU (after midnight)¥3,900 → ¥2,900¥1,000 → ¥5001 / 1
Total, 4 clubs¥12,900 → ¥9,400 (−¥3,500)¥4,500 → ¥2,500 (−¥2,000)3 / 3

Saturday rates. Hit T2 before midnight instead and it's ¥2,000 → ¥1,500 for men, ¥1,000 → ¥500 for women. Prices change by night and time — see tonight's prices for the exact amount.

Compare that with staying put: a single T2 door after midnight is ¥3,900 for a man. The four-club route on passes is ¥9,400 — about 2.4× one door. Hop for the variety, not to save money; the passes knock ¥3,500 off what the same four doors would cost.

TIDE ¥2,000
PINK ¥2,500
WARP ¥2,000
T2 ¥2,900
= ¥9,400 (man, 4 clubs)

For a woman the same route is ¥2,500 on passes against ¥4,500 at the doors — WARP is free with the pass after 23:00, and T2 drops to ¥500.

The Shinjuku hopping route

The crawl runs through Shinjuku: four partner clubs, about 5–8 minutes’ walk from one stop to the next. Tap a photo for the club page, or hit “Guest pass” to grab a QR on the spot.

In Shibuya, build around CLUB VIZEL; in Roppongi, CROSS ROPPONGI. Crossing districts means long transfers, so the trick to a good crawl is to stick to one area.

How to nail the crawl

  1. Grab every QR before you head out. Pull the passes for the clubs you plan to hit in advance, and at each door you just flash your phone. The pace never breaks.
  2. Mind the clock at WARP and T2. Doors open at 22:00 (WARP from 21:00). WARP's door goes up after 23:00 and T2's after midnight — that's also when their pass discounts are biggest, so the route above puts them last. If you'd rather pay less overall, do T2 first, before midnight.
  3. Go easy on the drinks. A crawl racks up rounds fast. Included drinks differ by door: TIDE's pass includes 2, T2's 1, THE PINK none, and WARP's pass after 23:00 none. For going rates, see [club drink prices](/journal/tokyo-club-drink-prices).
  4. Check the last and first trains. To avoid the last train catching you mid-crawl, read the [last-train guide](/journal/tokyo-club-last-train-getting-home) and [how to kill time until the first train](/journal/tokyo-after-clubs-until-first-train) first.

FAQ

Is hopping four clubs cheaper than one at the door?

No. On this Saturday route a man pays ¥9,400 on passes for four clubs, against ¥3,900 for a single T2 door after midnight. The passes only trim each door (−¥3,500 across the four). For a woman it’s ¥2,500 on passes vs ¥4,500 at the doors. You hop for four different rooms, not to save money.

Can I grab passes for as many clubs as I want?

Yes. Issue as many as you plan to visit on the application page. No sign-up, and the QR pops up on the spot, so grabbing them all before you head out is the way to go.

What do I need to get in?

At every door you need a government photo ID (passport, driver’s license, etc.), and you must be 20 or over (some clubs from 18). For travelers from abroad, a passport is the safe bet.
