There are a lot of clubs in Roppongi that play Techno/House/Electronic. I used to go there every weekend, there was no "best" as they would vary night to night. You really have to feel things out. Don't pay if they want a cover charge, though most places will have a mandatory one drink minimum. Check out several places, you should find something you like. Even if I gave you a list of my favorite places, you'd be passing 10 other awesome ones on the way. It's true Roppongi is the international clubbing district, If you want a Japanese only techno club, check out one of the older Gas Panics in Roppongi (there's one big new one full of gaijin and two more off the main path on upper floors) I loved the old Gas Panics because they detered foreigners. I would be constantly harrased by the staff (basically if you don't have a drink in hand they'd threaten to kick you out), but the kids in the club were great, all Japanese kids just having fun and dancing. The guys would buy me drinks and I'd dance with their girlfriends. But the other clubs are great too, in one night I talked to girls from 11 different nations.


Well. I hope I helped a bit. Certainly I know it sucks when I show up in a different country and don't know where anything is, but I also love the fun of exploration, finding what looks fun, rather than planning the whole thing in advance.
