Soultrane jazz club, located near Asakusa station in Tokyo, Japan (website, map).

A friendly jazz jam at Soultrane in 2017

Soultrane is a classic jazz bar conveniently located near the famous grand shrine in Asakusa. This club is a funky hideaway den located on the second floor in a famous neighborhood filled with popular shrines and old-fashioned buildings.

The room itself is filled with various unmatched chairs and side tables surrounding a large table in the center creating the feel of a slapdash but comfortable dining room. A nicely stocked bar with a wrap-around counter sports great views out the picture windows which fill up one wall of the room.

Also furnishing the room is a hodgepodge collection of knick-knacks, CDs, records, posters of jazz musicians and classic Hollywood stars, and a few standing drums and instruments tucked away in any available corners.
