Four-floor Amerikamura club open since 1999: Hernan Cattaneo on Friday 6 November 2026, doors 22:00, finish 05:00, ¥3,500 advance, ¥4,000 door.

Club Joule occupies floors 2 to 4 of the Minamisumiyacho Building at 2-11-7 Nishi-Shinsaibashi, in Amerikamura. The club says it was established in 1999. Its own pages describe four spaces: a main floor billed as one of the largest and most powerful dance floors in the Kansai region, a lounge and private VIP area, a multipurpose second floor for genre events and private parties, and an open-air rooftop. Time Out puts the main-floor capacity at about 800; Joule publishes no figure.

The news tags on the club's site read techno, house and psy-trance, and international headliners are routine. Hernan Cattaneo plays the Spectacular 7th Anniversary on Friday 6 November 2026, with doors at 22:00, a 05:00 finish, three rooms and tickets at ¥3,500 in advance or ¥4,000 at the door. Marcellus Pittman follows on Saturday 7 November. Halloween weekend lists a Mishmash all-B2B party on Saturday 24 October and Yonaguni Fiesta Halloween Night on Saturday 31 October. Not for you if you want a quiet drink: this is a full-size room with late finishes.

Outdoor and smoking

Open-air rooftop with music and night-sky views; the club says it is the only Osaka nightclub with one.

Getting in

  • Buy the advance ticket: for 6 November it is ¥500 below the door price.
  • Enter by the stairs beside the FLORIDA Amerikamura vintage shop. Events with a back-door entrance use the lift beside LIVEHOUSE BRONZE, next to the Lawson.
  • Carry a passport or other photo ID.
  • Check the event page for the rooms: the 6 November night runs three rooms, so the main-floor headliner is not the only set.
