The scene rating says how much there is to do: real scene means gay bars, club nights and a pride worth the trip. Safety comes from the Japan country page, tiered on ILGA World, Human Rights Watch, the Human Dignity Trust, Equaldex and court rulings. Ratings come from our editors and club members who were just there. How we rate. Last reviewed September 2026.
