Yokota Japan
I was a member of the CA in Afghanistan (BAF). Are there any clubs in Tokyo or near Yokota?

Re: Yokota Japan
Are you looking for a B&M in that area or a social group?
For a B&M, I spent a lot of time at le Connaisseur in Shibuya. It's a small shop with a full bar and a limited selection of appetizers. The walk-in isn't the biggest, but the selection is OK. It's located a few blocks from the JR Shibuya station. I know that's quite a hike from Yakota, but would be occasionally worth it. They have patio seating just off the street, so it's a good place to people-watch. I also remember a very nice lounge in the Ginza district, but cannot remember anything specific (other than it was expensive as hell). It's been so long since I was in Japan that I don't have any contacts there anymore. We had a cigar group that met at the O-club at NAF Atsugi every two/three weeks. I don't know if that still exists or not. |

We have a "Troops Room" here at CA, might be a good place to ask as well.

Re: Yokota Japan
Welcome, great seeing you in chat!
B&M is a brick and mortar, a local cigar store. |

Re: Yokota Japan
No worries. I'm glad to help. There was another lounge that I went to a few times in the lobby of a big hotel, but I can't remember which one it was. I do remember that it was one of the nicer hotels and was located in/near Yebisu Plaza. I’ve sent an email to a buddy who went there with me to see if he remembers it. I’ll let you know when he responds.
There are some good restaurants in the area, so it was usually a dual-purpose trip. That is also the location of the Sapporo Beer Museum, so even without the cigar lounge it's worth going to. |

Ebisu is your best bet for proximity to where you are. The others are good for exploring when you have time off. Good luck.
