The short version
- This report is first-party data from the guest passes we actually issue. We line up door prices against pass prices in real numbers (as of 2026).
- A guest pass never costs more than the door price. Most are cheaper, and where they aren’t, you get “guaranteed entry” or an “extra drink” instead.
- The biggest discounts are at WARP SHINJUKU (−¥2,000 for men on Fri/Sat after 11pm) and CLUB VIZEL (−¥1,500 for men, every night except Wednesday).
- Women already pay less. CROSS ROPPONGI is free every night (with 2 drinks), and PINK starts at ¥500.

“So how much does a guest pass actually save you?” Plenty of guides hide their prices — but because we issue the passes ourselves, we can show you the real numbers. This report is first-party data lining up door prices against pass prices at our 6 partner clubs. Bottom line: a pass is never more expensive than the door, and in most cases it’s meaningfully cheaper. How much cheaper, though, varies a lot by venue. We’ll lay it all out, honestly.
Door vs pass: the real numbers
Door and pass prices for men, plus women’s prices, at our 6 partner clubs (as of 2026; ranges across nights and times).
| Club | Door (men) | Pass (men) | Max saving (men) | Women (door → pass) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WARP SHINJUKU | ¥1,000–4,000 | ¥1,000–2,000 | −¥2,000 (Fri/Sat and holiday nights after 11pm) | ¥800–1,000 → free |
| CLUB VIZEL | ¥1,000–3,500 | ¥1,000–2,000 | −¥1,500 (every night except Wed) | ¥500–1,000 (same with pass) |
| CROSS ROPPONGI | ¥2,000–3,000 | ¥1,000–2,000 | −¥1,000 (every night) | Free nightly (2 drinks; 3 with pass) |
| T2 SHINJUKU | ¥1,000–3,900 | ¥1,000–2,900 | −¥1,000 (Fri/Sat after midnight) | ¥500–1,000 → ¥500 |
| THE PINK TOKYO | ¥2,000–3,000 | ¥1,500–2,500 | −¥500 (every night) | ¥1,000–1,500 → ¥500–1,000 |
| TIDE TOKYO | ¥1,000–2,000 | Same price + 1 extra drink | +1 free drink | ¥1,000 |
Note: prices change by night and by time — several clubs raise the door after 11pm or midnight, and on some nights there's no discount. Check tonight's prices for the exact amount.
Most doors include at least one drink — the exceptions are THE PINK TOKYO (no drink, at the door or on the pass) and WARP SHINJUKU’s pass after 23:00 (the door price includes a drink; the pass doesn’t). And the key point: at no venue does the pass exceed the door price. Either it’s cheaper, or it’s the same price with guaranteed entry or a drink thrown in.
Where the discounts are biggest
If your goal is simply the cheapest entry possible, these two are the clearest wins.
At WARP SHINJUKU, the men’s door after 11pm on Fridays, Saturdays and holiday nights is ¥4,000 but the pass is ¥2,000 — that gap is a couple of drinks right there. CLUB VIZEL drops men from ¥2,500 to ¥1,000 on most nights (¥3,500 → ¥2,000 on Fri/Sat), a −¥1,500 saving — though Wednesdays have no discount. What you save covers another round.
Men's vs women's pricing
In Tokyo nightlife, women’s entry is already affordable (free to ¥1,000) at most venues. That’s why the pass “discount” shows up bigger for men. For women, the pass is best used to lock in “guaranteed entry at an affordable price.”
Best for men
- A big discount off the door price (WARP/VIZEL)
- Put what you save toward drinks
Best for women
- Many venues are already free to ¥500
- Lock in guaranteed entry ahead of time with the pass
CROSS ROPPONGI is free for women every night (with 2 drinks). For the full picture on free and dirt-cheap entry for women, see our ladies’ free entry guide.
Value beyond the price
A pass isn’t just a “discount coupon.” Even at same-price venues, you get value like this.
- Guaranteed entry. Being on the list ahead of time means you get in even when it's full. The busier the weekend, the more it matters.
- Extra drinks. Some venues are effectively better value — TIDE TOKYO, for one, adds an extra drink at the same price.
- Transparent pricing. You know exactly what you'll pay at the door — zero risk of getting ripped off. For the safety side, see our [nightlife safety report](/journal/tokyo-nightlife-safety-report).
- No sign-up, instant QR. Grab it on your phone and just show it at the door.

FAQ
Is a guest pass really worth it
Yes. It never costs more than the door price. Some venues, like WARP and VIZEL, give a big discount; others match the door price but throw in guaranteed entry or an extra drink. It’s designed so you can’t lose.
Is it worth it for women too
Yes. Women already pay less, so the discount is modest, but the strength is that you lock in guaranteed entry ahead of time. The busier the night, the more it helps. CROSS is free every night.
