Japanese Concert Etiquette

Best video advice and tips on attending Japanese concert


Attending a musical concert in Japan can be a new experience for the foreigners. Though there are many rules and regulations to abide, but once you are aware of them, you're good to go.

Can I bring a camera?
Unfortunately, camera is banned (especially the professional cameras) from what we have read and asked. You can bring your mobile phone that is camera enabled, but if security catches you taking a snapshot during the concert (other than the soundcheck), they will tell you to delete them or worse, you could be kicked out. But if you can be a little sneakier and just take a quick shot, then good for you!

How to get to Tokyo Dome concert?

Tokyo Dome during seasonal illuminations


There are many methods to get to the Out There Tour concert in Tokyo Dome. Here are a few different methods for you to choose from. Remember to be early as possible and you have eaten in advance as the food in the venue will be costly.

METHOD 1: TRAIN

If you have any maps whether physical or digital, look of for Korakuen (via Marunouchi line, aka the red line). 


Google Maps is your best guide if you are connected. It gives you the direction, train schedule as well as train fare.

And you don't want the hassle of holding a physical map like a first-time tourist, do...
  1. Save a photo of train maps in your mobile
  2. Download Tokyo train mobile apps

METHOD 2: TAXI

Taxi is probably the easiest to acquire, but chances that you might get lost in translation or stuck in a traffic jam due to the rush hour. Be sure to have the 'katakana' wording of Tokyo Dome 東京ドーム or as the local pronounce it, "To-kio-Do-Muk". Or you can just flash us this website :)  

Address: 1-3-61 Koraku, Bunkyo, Tokyo 112-0004, Japan



Tokyo Dome (no.1) and Tokyo Dome Hotel (no.2)



METHOD 3: AIRPORT LIMOUSINE (shuttle bus)

Another easiest method from the aiport (either Haneda or Narita airport) and cheaper than taxi. The airport limousine only takes you to Tokyo Dome hotel, but its just a few meters away to the stadium.

Look for the fare and schedule here


Out There Tour Set list

These are the possible playlist as it has been performed by Sir Paul McCartney and his fellow band members during the Osaka concert. Since Japan is the first to hear him perform some new songs from the album, NEW, some of the usual songs have been "kicked-out" from his usual Out There Tour list like Mrs Vandelbilt.

Out There Tour - Tokyo Dome Seating Map

Seating map

Arena seating view.
In Out There Tokyo layout, the 10th column is in the middle (refer to BLACK MAP)
There are total of 15 rows and 12 columns for each section

How to locate my seat(s) in Tokyo Dome concert? How close am I to the stage?
Example: If your seat is at B10, row 6, means you're 21th row from the stage. Some source mentioned that there is a large gap (pit) in between the first row and the stage, so...yeah.
