The Robot Restaurant and Show in Tokyo is unlike any show that I have ever experienced before! Lights, lasers, music and robots all put together in an extremely entertaining performance that will have the hairs standing on the back of your neck, not knowing what will happen next!

The Robot Restaurant is a 90 minute performance that, in my opinion, is not to be missed during your city trip to Tokyo!

WHERE IS THE ROBOT RESTAURANT TOKYO

The Robot Restaurant is located in Shinjuku City, Tokyo.

If you are arriving by train or metro to Shinjuku, it is a 5-minute walk from Shinjuku Station East Exit to reach the Robot Restaurant.

ROBOT RESTAURANT TICKETS

The Robot Restaurant is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Tokyo and so it is recommended to book online in advance to secure a ticket for the show on your preferred date.

There are only 4 shows a day and it is not likely that you will be able to purchase a ticket at the door as there is limited seating available.

I purchased my tickets online with Klook which was very simple and convenient. Booking with Klook also gives you the bonus option to skip the long queue on the day of the show!

ARRIVING AT THE ROBOT RESTAURANT SHOW TOKYO

It was clear we were in the right place when my brother Chris and I arrived as there were flashing lights and bright neon signs with the words ROBOT RESTAURANT written in huge block letters across the front of the building.

Dressed up staff members were greeting customers as they were lining up at the entrance to exchange their online booking vouchers for printed tickets.

We walked down the brightly lit entrance hallway, which is decorated with neon lights and comic drawings, to an elevator at the end and headed up to the first floor.

There is a pre-show performance on the first floor before the actual show, so we ordered a drink at the bar and watched a live band, dressed up as robots, playing some classic covers. Once everyone had arrived, it was time to head down to the basement for the official show.

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THE ROBOT RESTAURANT TOKYO

A sensory overload! It is quite hard to explain in detail exactly what to expect without yet having experienced it for yourself, but to give you an idea there is a whole lot of noise, laser lights, incredible performers, robot musicians and more random acts all wrapped into one crazy spectacle!

The entertainment begins and there is no warming up into it whatsoever. From the get-go, loud drums and music along with laser lights and performers hit the stage in full force. The ‘robots’ are more like oversized remote-controlled vehicles and scary creature figures that are very well made but no high-tech artificial intelligence is used during the show.

I couldn’t quite pick up on the storyline, though there are many different acts throughout the show including robot wars, robot musicians, cabaret dancing, loud ballads, laser lights, firecrackers and much more that will leave your brain over-stimulated after the 90 minute performance.

Overall, the Robot Restaurant Show Tokyo is a one-of-a-kind performance that you just have to try at least once!

So is it worth it?

Yes, if you have the time to check it out while you are in Tokyo, I can honestly say I enjoyed the Robot Show and hopefully you do too!
