Have you heard of the “Kaiju Sakaba” in Kawasaki? It’s a bar themed around the monsters from Ultraman!
I’ve heard of it a little, but I’ve never been. It sounds kind of interesting, though! Monsters being the main theme sounds fun, right?
Yes! That caught my attention, too! Apparently, it feels like you’re in a different dimension, unlike a typical concept café. There are monsters all over the walls, and some of the booths are monster-themed!
That’s so detailed! Just seeing the décor alone makes me want to go.
A Night Bar Where Monsters Gather
The “Kaiju Sakaba” in Kawasaki is a secret bar where monsters from the Ultraman series come to relax.

The counter is lined with monster figures, adding to the enjoyment as you drink. For the monsters, this is a place of relaxation, and for fans, it’s the “Kaiju Sakaba.”
Don’t Forget Hero Countermeasures! The Secret Research Area
The “Kaiju Sakaba” has a “Secret Research Area” where you can explore Ultraman’s transformation items and the Earth Defense Force’s countermeasures, as if the monsters were researching ways to defeat the heroes. Ultraman fans will find this area particularly intriguing, exploring the connection between monsters and Ultraman heroes, as well as the behind-the-scenes of their battles.
The tatami area is decorated with impressive graphics of gathered monsters, creating an atmosphere akin to a monster-free-for-all zone.

Visiting with friends guarantees an even more lively experience in this area.

The monster-filled décor was amazing, wasn’t it? There were large art pieces of Zetton and Gomora on the booth walls, and my excitement just kept building from the start!
It was definitely Insta-worthy! I got so many reactions after I posted it (laughs). The Sunday event was going on too, and being able to hear stories about the monsters in that atmosphere made it feel extra special.
