Hi, I’m yukimi.
I write about Japanese street piano spots in this website.

There are many street pianos in Japan. So if you have time to go to Tokyo, please be sure to visit the places I’ll introduce below.

Sanrio cafe Ikebukuro-shop

Playable time

１０：００～２１：００

“Here, you can play a street piano featuring Hello Kitty. The original food menu, drinks, and the interior are all decorated with Sanrio characters, making it a delightful and memorable experience.

Additionally, nearby, you’ll find the Sunshine City Aquarium, which is another enjoyable attraction to visit.”

LIFE GUARD SQUARE

About LIFEGUARD

“LIFEGUARD is a Japanese-born energy drink with carbonation, making it very easy to drink. (In terms of genre, it’s similar to Red Bull or Monster). I myself loved it back in my student days and used to drink it often after club activities.

When you think of LIFEGUARD, you think of camouflage pattern. The street piano I’m introducing this time is designed after this LIFEGUARD pattern, with the ‘camouflage pattern’ directly incorporated into the street piano’s design. It’s not easy to come across such a flashy street piano.

Moreover, this location is conveniently accessible from Harajuku Station and Shibuya Station, so I highly recommend paying a visit.”

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building

Playable time

１０：００～１２：００

１４：００～１６：００

“On days off, it’s recommended to check the official website in advance.
Tokyo Metropolitan Government Official Website

There is a street piano on the 45th floor of the South Observation Room of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. Many people set a goal to play on this street piano, myself included.

A lot of foreign visitors come here. Since it tends to be crowded on weekends, it’s advisable to plan with some extra time.

From the South Observation Room of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building, you can have a panoramic view of Tokyo, so I highly recommend it as well.”

“The Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is right by Tochomae Station, but you can also walk there from the west exit of Shinjuku Station. It takes about 15 minutes on foot from the west exit of Shinjuku Station, but it’s recommended because you can see the cityscape of Tokyo.”
