Facility

Standing, the Yoyogi Labo club fits approximately 250 people. The entrance is on the first floor, but the main concert hall is located on the 2nd floor. They have several speakers, a turn table, a mixer, a keyboard, and a lot of the other up to date technological equipment. The building is not very old, so very little is in disrepair, though the stage itself is nothing too extraordinaire.
