First-time shisha guide
Shisha is tobacco leaves flavored and warmed with charcoal; the smoke passes through water before you inhale it. One pipe can be used by one person or shared with friends. At many lounges, table charges and drinks are added to the pipe price, and sharing or late-night fees may also apply. For choosing a lounge anywhere in Tokyo, see our Tokyo shisha guide.

It assumes arrival around 21:00 and one pipe shared for about one hour, including the pipe, two table charges, stated sharing fee and required drinks. See the table notes for exceptions.
