Taku Taku

Over the years since 1974, Taku Taku has played host to quite a few international stars, including Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Los Lobos, Taj Mahal and Dr. John, but most of the groups are local, offering Japanese rock and pop. Westerners well aware of the concept of "warehouse parties" will feel right at home here. And this particular warehouse is made of wood, which gives the whole place an aged and historic, if somewhat shabby, feel. Taku Taku has been rated among the best live houses in the Kansai, and it is most certainly a good place to get an idea what the yoof of today is all about.

Tominokoji-dori, Bukkoji-sagaru, Kyoto, Japan, 600-8061
Kyoto Muse

One of the prime music venues in the city, Kyoto Muse features some of the biggest names from the local and international music scene. While it might not be the biggest venue in town, it is one of the liveliest and most loved venues. The cozy setting, coupled with a rather low stage allows more interaction between the band and the crowd, which heightens the overall experience. Featuring gigs by some of the most renowned bands, as well as a number of promising young musicians, Kyoto Muse never fails to make your evening an absolutely memorable one.

102-3 Tachiuri Nakanocho, Kyoto, Japan, 600-8006
Jittoku

This is a well-established "live-house" — or, in plain English, a music venue. Juttoku is located in an old warehouse (kura) not far from Nijo Castle in the west of the city. Expect to see anything if you decide to just drop in on spec - anything in terms of both quality and genre. Rock, blues, thrash, Japanese pop, Irish fiddle, electronica, you name it and it has probably been played at Juttoku. Usually pretty friendly, though a little out of the way.

815 Hishiyacho, Omiya Shimodachiiru Sagaru, Kyoto, Japan, 602-8125
KBS Hall

The KBS Hall borders the iconic city landmark of the Kyoto Imperial Palace. This multipurpose venue is most famously known for its stunning stage backdrop, replete with stained glass paintings and dramatic lighting. Perhaps, this is why the hall makes for an excellent setting for the Japanese metal band Dir En Grey, which hosts regular concerts here. The KBS Hall also hosts several other cultural events here, including dance and musical performances.

600-1 Kyohei Fujisawa Street, Tatsumae Cho, Kyoto, Japan, 602-0912
Kyoto Concert Hall

A haven of classical music, the Kyoto Concert Hall was created as a part of the project started in the year 1995. This concert hall is a grand physical building, dedicated entirely to music as the decor of the place would make it apparent. The building houses several concert halls within it, done in different architectural patterns, ranging from the classic shoe box style to the modern day structure. However, the special feature that makes each of this hall special is that every one of this single hall is designed to highlight the sound of a single instrument. If you are in Kyoto and love music, attending a concert at one of these halls brings in sheer pleasure. To know more about them, check the website.

1-26 Hangi-cho Shimogamo, Kyoto, Japan, 606-0823
