Artbar Hoshio (星男)

Artbar Hoshio (星男) is a bar and small gallery on the ground floor of the Ozawa Building at 2-6-8 Shinjuku. It opened in November 2011 and marks its 15th year in 2026. According to its own listing, each month has two exhibitions by different artists, one in each half of the month, plus occasional live music and talks. The people running it are LGBTQ+ and the art programme is built around that theme. Everyone is welcome, and Time Out Tokyo includes it in its 2026 Shinjuku LGBTQ+ list. Google gives 20:00–02:00 daily; check hoshiopro.com/bar for exhibition dates and closed days.
