Robot Restaurant (permanently closed)

ロボットレストラン

Shinjuku (Kabukicho)

Heads up — not currently bookable. Permanently closed — do not attempt to visit or book. See the Samurai Restaurant as the current alternative.

The famous Shinjuku Kabukicho neon dinner-show that appeared on countless "Tokyo bucket list" articles. It closed permanently and did not reopen; the same operator later opened the Samurai Restaurant nearby. We keep this record so older guides can be corrected — it is NOT bookable.
