About the listings
OTOBAR helps you discover music bars in Tokyo. Source checks do not imply a visit or venue endorsement. Hours, prices and business status may change; check current venue guidance before visiting.
Google Maps
Maps and contributed photos for selected venues use Google Maps services. Google’s Terms of Service and the Google Maps / Google Earth Additional Terms apply to these features. Photos belong to their respective rights holders, may differ from the current venue, and were not taken by OTOBAR.

Privacy & external services
Loading maps or photos and following external links connects your browser to services such as Google. Your IP address and browser information may be transmitted. Google’s Privacy Policy governs its handling of this information. Venue photos load after you select “See venue photos.”
The photo feature stores daily and monthly request counts to control costs. These counters do not identify visitors. OTOBAR does not store contributed photos, photo resource names or author information in its database. Hosting services may process operational access logs.
Behavior measurement for site improvement
We store daily totals by display language for searches, empty results, venue detail and comparison result views, successful saves, map and official website links, and photo loading actions. These aggregates contain no search terms, browsing URLs, venue IDs, IP addresses or identifiers of people or devices. Repeated actions of the same type on the same page are limited; totals are not visitor counts.
Reports use the most recent 90 days; older data is removed when the next measurement request is processed. Aggregates are used privately for site improvement. No cookies are used for this measurement. For measurement, only the preference below is saved in this browser. Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals also disable measurement.
Saved venues
Saved venues store only venue IDs in this browser’s localStorage. The list is not sent to our server or synced across browsers or devices. Remove venues individually or clear site data to erase it. Anonymous save-success counts contain no venue IDs.
Reporting a photo
Open the original photo using its Google Maps link and use Google Maps’ reporting tools.
