And here’s one last helpful money-saving tip: the branches outside Tokyo can be much cheaper. Some branches have student discounts, just like with Uta Hiroba. The website also has coupons that you can use, although they’re in Japanese. To save money, we highly recommend signing up for membership, as the rates for members are significantly lower. (We told you that you can’t get any cheaper than Uta Hiroba!) You have to order a drink, although there are also rates that include unlimited drinks, the lowest being 351 yen on weekdays from 9:00 am-7:00 pm. It also has costumes that you can put on while singing, as well as occasional tie-ups with anime series.Ībout the price, though- note that the rates quoted here do not include a drink bar, unlike with Uta Hiroba. If you want to have some fun, and/or to sing karaoke in style, Karatetsu also has some fancy rooms for kids, ladies, and VIPs (among others), as well as party plans. ¥ 584 – ¥ 729 (Friday and Saturday nights, and the night before a holiday)Īlso known as Karatetsu for short, Karaoke no Tetsujin also has branches all over Tokyo, and some in Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama. The basic drink bar only has non-alcoholic drinks (and the rates above are for this option), but they also have a drink-all-you-can plan that includes alcohol after 6:00 pm, which costs 600-800 yen on weekdays, and 670-850 yen on Friday and Saturday nights, and the night before a holiday. What’s great about Uta Hiroba is that their rates already include a drink bar, unlike other chains, wherein drinks are an additional cost (and you’re usually required to order a drink in addition to getting a room). As is the case with most, if not all, karaoke chains, Uta Hiroba’s rates are per 30 minutes, although they also have “free time” rates, which are flat rates for a set amount of time.

¥ 410 – ¥ 500 (Friday and Saturday nights, and the night before a holiday)Ī chain of karaoke bars with branches all over Tokyo and nearby prefectures (Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama), Uta Hiroba is the cheapest you can get.
