Three
スリー
Shelter's smaller, more laid-back sibling — a Shimokitazawa room where jazz, funk, disco and indie share the same stage.

Three sits in the same underground complex as Shelter but plays a different role — a more relaxed, genre-hopping room where a night might move from experimental jazz to rockabilly to hip hop and indie, sometimes within the same bill. DJ sets in the lounge often run alongside the live acts on stage.
Like its neighbor, the entrance is easy to miss — a small sign near a liquor store and parking lot marks the way down.
What Visitors Are Saying
Reviewers describe a genuinely charming, small room (around 50 capacity) with a strong focus on young, up-and-coming Japanese alt-rock acts. Staff helpfulness comes up in nearly every review — more than one visitor mentions being lost or unsure of the format and getting walked through it by friendly staff — alongside cheap drinks and a good sound system for the size.
This reads as one of the more consistently positive venues on the site, with no notable recurring complaints in what we found.
