【7th Anniversary】THE LIVELY TOKYO AZABUJUBAN Celebrates with “THE LIVELY 7DAYS” — Seven Days of Music, Drinks, Food & Art Starting October 26
THE LIVELY TOKYO AZABUJUBAN celebrates its 7th anniversary this year.
To mark the occasion, we’re bringing seven days of special programming to the hotel from Monday, October 26 through Sunday, November 1, 2026, under the title “THE LIVELY 7DAYS.” From music and drinks to food and art, we invite you to enjoy a lineup of experiences designed to engage all five senses.
On the 2nd-floor Lounge, SOUND SAKE STAND brings together DJs, sake, and food, while on the 9th floor, THE LIVELY BAR welcomes a different guest bartender each night throughout the seven-day celebration.
The festivities culminate on Sunday, November 1, with “Heisei Retro Deco-mori Night,” a special evening inspired by the theme “Heisei Retro × Deco-mori.” Creative food, playful decorations, and live performances add a touch of splendor to the grand finale of the week.
Here’s a look at the highlights of this anniversary week, with a new encounter and a new discovery waiting each day at THE LIVELY TOKYO AZABUJUBAN.
①SOUND SAKE STAND
Where Music, Sake, and Food Meet for Seven Days
Popular at THE LIVELY FUKUOKA HAKATA, SOUND SAKE STAND makes its way to the 2nd-floor Lounge for seven days only.
A different DJ will take the floor each day. The DJs who usually play during the daily free beer hour from 5:00 PM will be joined by a different special guest DJ from 6:00 PM each evening, setting the mood for a stylish, easygoing time with music, sake, and food.
SOUND SAKE STAND will also feature a selection of standing-bar-style dishes created by our chefs, all priced at ¥700 (tax included). Perfect as snacks to go with sake or other drinks, they can be enjoyed casually alongside the music.
On the final day, Sunday, November 1, special guest DJ HASEBE (@oldnick), a longstanding leader of Japan’s R&B and hip-hop scene, will take to the turntables.
With a special lineup befitting our 7th anniversary, come spend an early evening at the hotel lounge with a slightly different atmosphere from the everyday.
