JAPAN'S BEST-DESIGNED COWORKING SPACESQ&A
How do I pay at a coworking space in Japan?
Most drop-in spaces take cards, and several take no cash at all. SENQ's drop-in accepts credit cards, transit IC cards, Apple Pay, iD and QUICPay but not cash, and NAKANO HAKO is cashless only.

What is a transit IC card?
Suica and PASMO are the rechargeable cards used on trains and buses around Tokyo. Many shops also accept them as e-money.
