MK Guide Recommends
Founded in 1975, Jazz Inn Lovely is one of Japan’s most respected live jazz venues. Located near Sakae in Higashisakura, the club is known for its warm acoustics, cozy layout, and dedication to serious jazz performances. International legends and local virtuosos share the stage nightly, with a focus on bebop, swing, and straight-ahead jazz. The dimly lit room, centered around a grand piano and close-set tables, attracts a devoted crowd of enthusiasts who come to listen, not just drink. A modest food and drink menu supports the music-first atmosphere, making it a rare sanctuary for pure jazz in the heart of the city.
