Apollo jazz club, located near Shimo-Kitazawa station in Tokyo, Japan (website, map).

The Danish neo-cello duo Soma & Lil (Soma Allpass and Lil Lacy) with steelpanist Yoshio Machida at Apollo in 2018

A straight-to-the-point jazz spot, Apollo is unvarnished in a good way, a simple and deeply satisfying jazz bar in Tokyo. This place offers cool and creative jazz groups and foreign acts from overseas on occasion. What you’ll get here is cozy creativity and originality with no pretensions. This fantastic spot also hosts instrumental jazz jam sessions on select Sunday afternoons.
