Great choices, but also don’t miss out on ShiroKuma -THE bear bar, right around the corner from Leo Lounge (https://goo.gl/maps/QV2dEvPxdDjYh2AF7), as well as Norakura which specializes in fundoshi and attracts a very bearish crowd (https://goo.gl/maps/uPmjbXCFdvH2); and not forget the Debudasu (young chubby) night at Dusokoi Club (https://goo.gl/maps/yWXXdjYSx4v). For the more leather S&M bears there are many options, just Google for leather bars, though you will always get a mixed crowd… and walk around and open all bar doors in the San-Chome Shinkuju… you never know what you will find!!! Super fun! 🙂
