Drive-in vibes, Tokyo-style 🚥🍸 Hidden beneath Asakusa Station, Drive-in Denden is an electric love letter to Japan’s retro era- think neon lights, vintage games, and a killer cocktail called Denden Brandy, spiced with Japanese green pepper. It’s all the joy of a classic Japanese drive-in but no car, no license, no problem. Just hop off the train (Exit 6), head into the shadowy underground arcade, and time-travel straight into a Showa retro dream. 🫗Retro glassware you can’t find twice 🌃Neon signs that glow like memories 🗼A secret bar even Tokyo locals whisper about Drink. Play. Get lost. Welcome to the electric underground. 📍Drive-in Denden B1F-16, Asakusa Underground Shopping Street, 1-1-12 Asakusa, Taito-ku, Tokyo
