If you are an English-speaker who works online as a freelancer or do other work online and you are planning to visit Japan soon, you may be in need of a comfortable place to get all your work done.
You might be thinking that your hotel room will be enough but there is no fun staying cooped up in your hotel all day and your hotel room probably won’t have the ambiance or professional amenities you require to get the job done.
However, coffee shops and cafés are great, but there will be distractions and are not supported if you will be staying longer. This makes the space inconvenient and not a cost-effective alternative for you. Going to co-working spaces will also allow you to meet new people who live in Japan with the same goal as you. In Japan, there is a vast number of casual, modern, and luxury co-working offices to choose from for English-speaking travelers.
