Aoi Heya

Revision as of 18:31, 16 July 2008

Aoi Heya is a popular live hall located in Shibuya, Tokyo. Aoi Heya is owned by Singer/Songwriter Togawa Masako. It is considered one of the most popular underground clubs in Tokyo and is sometimes referred to as “Blue Room.”

The Aoi Heya, while a popular live hall, is often rented out to wedding parties and birthday parties. Aoi Heya is frequently used as a bar and hangout spot more often than a live hall, but the stage and layout makes it one of the more well known arenas for new and budding artists.

History

Aoi Heya started as a coffee shop in 1967 owned by Togawa Masako’s sister. Eventually the coffee shop became a bar, until it was ultimately converted by Masako into a club and live room in December of 2000.
