GAYBAR Room's

GAYBAR Room's is listed as a gay bar in the basement of the Palais de Kitanosaka building in Kanōchō, part of the Sannomiya nightlife area of central Kobe. There is no rating data and no opening hours on file, so check the bar's website before going. Like many Japanese gay bars, it is likely to be a small, counter-style bar where conversation with the staff and regulars is the main event. Some bars like this charge a seating fee and may be wary of walk-in foreigners, so go with some basic Japanese or a local friend if you can. Osaka's Doyama-cho, 20 to 30 minutes by train, has a much larger scene.
