How Do Coworking Spaces in Tokyo Compare?
Tokyo's coworking scene has grown quickly in the last few years. You can find everything from pay-per-minute drop-in desks to premium 24/7 memberships with private offices. The right choice depends on how long you're staying, what you need for calls, and your budget.
Here's a practical comparison of the top options.
The Options at a Glance
| Space | Day Pass | Monthly | Wifi | 24/7 | Best For | |-------|----------|---------|------|------|----------| | WeWork Shibuya | — | $350 | 200 Mbps | Yes | Premium, community | | ANDWORK Shibuya | $15 | $180 | 150 Mbps | No | Budget monthly | | Fabbit Aoyama | $20 | $250 | 180 Mbps | Yes | Focused work | | COIN SPACE Shinjuku | $12 | — | 100 Mbps | No | Short sessions | | BasisPoint Shinjuku | $18 | $200 | 150 Mbps | No | Quiet work |
WeWork Shibuya Scramble Square
WeWork's flagship Tokyo location sits above Shibuya Station with panoramic views of the crossing. It's the most expensive option but comes with premium amenities: phone booths, meeting rooms, event space, and a large community of freelancers and startups.
Best for: Nomads who want networking opportunities and don't mind paying for a premium environment. The views alone are worth a day pass if you can get a guest invite.
ANDWORK Shibuya
ANDWORK is the budget champion. At $15/day or $180/month, it's hard to beat for everyday coworking. The space is modern and clean, with reliable wifi. It lacks some premium features (no standing desks, limited phone booths), but for focused desk work it's excellent.
Best for: Nomads on a 1–3 month stay who want a reliable daily workspace without breaking the bank.
Fabbit Aoyama
Located near Omotesando, Fabbit offers a professional atmosphere with phone booths, meeting rooms, and 24/7 access for members. The Omotesando location means excellent lunch options nearby. At $250/month, it's mid-range pricing with premium-level facilities.
Best for: Nomads who take a lot of calls or need meeting rooms regularly.
COIN SPACE Shinjuku
COIN SPACE is unique in Tokyo's coworking scene: you pay per minute. No reservation, no commitment. Walk in, tap your IC card, and start working. At roughly $12 for a full day, it's great for occasional use. The downside is that it's not designed for all-day use — there are no phone booths and the seating is basic.
Best for: Nomads who mostly work from cafes or home but need a desk occasionally.
BasisPoint Shinjuku
BasisPoint markets itself as a "quiet coworking space" — and it delivers. The atmosphere is library-like, which is ideal for deep work. At $200/month, it's well-priced for Shinjuku. The trade-off: not ideal for calls, and the community aspect is minimal.
Best for: Writers, developers, and anyone who needs long stretches of uninterrupted focus time.
Tips for Choosing
- If you're here for less than 2 weeks, use day passes or COIN SPACE. Monthly plans aren't worth it.
- If you take a lot of video calls, prioritize spaces with phone booths (WeWork, Fabbit).
- If you're on a tight budget, ANDWORK's monthly plan is the best value.
- Always test the wifi on your first visit. Advertised speeds and real-world speeds can differ.
