A veritable stalwart in the Tokyo jazz club scene, Body & Soul is a true jazz listening room with a respected reputation. Known for being one of the oldest and most prestigious jazz clubs in Japan, this spot checks all the boxes for both customers and jazz musicians.

A beautiful floor-level stage is surrounded by seats and tables for great views and direct sound. Both local and touring musicians can often be found here, and similarly, Body & Soul is popular with locals and well as visiting jazz fans. In addition to its legacy, atmosphere, and music schedule, this establishment also takes pride in its high-quality menu offerings.
