REEAST ROOM Rage Room Tokyo

Some souvenirs are objects; this one is a feeling. REEAST ROOM in Nishi-Shinjuku hands you protective gear, a bat and a room full of breakables, then lets you smash the lot. Rage rooms have spread worldwide for a reason, and doing one in the middle of Tokyo, a city built on public restraint, has its own particular flavour.

How a session works

After a safety briefing you suit up in coveralls, gloves and a face shield, choose your weapon and enter the room, where bottles, crockery, electronics and other doomed items await. Then you swing. Sessions are timed, music is usually cranked, and staff keep everything safe while you work through whatever the week has done to you. It is oddly cathartic, frequently hilarious, and the appeal makes sense within the first thirty seconds of glass hitting the wall.

Who it suits

Couples, small groups and solo travellers all book in; it is a popular stress relief outing for locals as much as a novelty for visitors. You need closed shoes, and age limits and package contents are listed on the booking page. Nobody needs any Japanese to take part; smashing is a universal language.

Getting there

The venue is in Nishi-Shinjuku, within walking distance of Shinjuku Station, the busiest rail hub on earth, served by the JR Yamanote and Chuo Lines plus multiple subway and private lines. The Marunouchi subway line’s Nishi-Shinjuku Station is also close by.
