Guernica Shibari Rope Show
Location: Mistress Bar Guernica
Days: Wednesday – Saturday
Bar Hours: 19:00 – 23:00
Show Time: Around 21:00
One of Ikebukuro’s most unique underground nightlife experiences, Guernica hosts nightly SM and rope performance shows led by owner and rope performer Sakuya (“Rope Magic Cosplayer Sakuya”). Guests can enjoy live kinbaku-inspired performances, fetish demonstrations, cosplay aesthetics, and an interactive BDSM lounge atmosphere welcoming to both newcomers and experienced fetish enthusiasts.
The venue operates as an “experiential SM bar,” meaning guests can watch performances, socialize with cast members, or participate in beginner-friendly fetish experiences depending on the evening.
Recommended for visitors interested in Tokyo’s underground nightlife, BDSM culture, rope artistry, and alternative performance spaces.
Note: Operating hours and show schedules may occasionally change. Please check Guernica’s official social media before visiting.
