About Edogawa

Edogawa is Tokyo's easternmost ward, between the Arakawa and Edo rivers on the border with Chiba. It is mostly residential, and nights out center on station areas such as Koiwa on the JR Sobu Line, Kasai and Nishi-Kasai on the Tokyo Metro Tozai Line, which runs straight to Otemachi in central Tokyo, and Funabori on the Toei Shinjuku Line.

Rockbar Painkiller

Kokubunji, Tokyo

Near Kokubunji Station, Rockbar Painkiller is a hard rock and heavy metal bar named, of course, after the Judas Priest classic. The owner left a long company career in 2016 to open a long-dreamed-of rock bar, has been to Wacken Open Air, the world's biggest metal festival, six years in a row, and still fronts a band with high-pitched screams and a Flying V. The owner's taste leans melodic: Michael Schenker, UFO, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Helloween, Sonata Arctica, Hammerfall and Avantasia are favorites. Rare music videos play on a 100-inch screen, and the bar hosts live shows and jam sessions. Drinks include beer, bourbon, whisky and shochu, with light bar snacks rather than full meals. Smoking is allowed inside on regular nights; on event nights, smokers step outside. Some English is understood, but a translation app on your phone is often the quickest way to chat.
