About Harlem
Harlem is Tokyo's most historically significant hip-hop club, a Shibuya institution that has been at the centre of Japan's hip-hop culture since 1999. The club is credited with helping to establish hip-hop as a mainstream cultural force in Japan, and has been a launching pad for many of the country's most important hip-hop artists. Harlem's longevity — over 25 years in one of the world's most competitive nightlife markets — is a testament to its cultural importance and the loyalty of its community.
History
Harlem opened in 1999 in Shibuya and quickly became the most important hip-hop venue in Japan. The club played a crucial role in the development of Japanese hip-hop culture, hosting early performances by artists who went on to become major figures in the genre.
