      What's the price for WeWork in Tokyo?

      @@litalara Currently it seems to be 42,900yen per month for the All access membership! But they often have discounts - currently it's 15% for the first 6 months! With all access, you get to use all of their locations around the world.

    Really good video. At wework, can you bring external guests and book meetingrooms there?

    • @oliviaimamura
      @oliviaimamura  Рік тому

      Thanks! Yes you can! There are phone booths and if you want to book an actual meeting room you need to use one of your credits. You get a few each month and you can buy more of them. I think in order to bring a guest you need to have a meeting room booked as an all access member.

    Those coworking spaces are looking like a procrastination dream given how good the views are, and with the snacks + beer 😄 I would achieve absolutely nothing there

    • @oliviaimamura
      @oliviaimamura  2 роки тому

      Yeah, probably not the best environment if you just end up snacking unhealthy stuff all day 😛

    Share lounge looks really cool!
    In the video it looked pretty busy. Would you say its ideal to do video calls there? Can the noise get distracting for you, or on the flip slide can your noise be distracting to the other people working there?
    Great video btw!

    • @oliviaimamura
      @oliviaimamura  2 роки тому +2

      Thanks 😊 Yeah it's a bit tricky - if the person sitting right next to you is taking a call and doing a lot of talking, I would guess that it would be quite distracting. I had noise-cancelling headphones (Airpod pros), and I asked whether some of the background noise was bleeding through and seems like they couldn't hear anything, but I feel that even though there were some people walking back and forth, no one was really talking right next to me. Could be that I was just lucky, as I did see quite a few people taking video calls when I walked around the area. In the mornings it's definitely a more quiet environment compared to evenings!

    Hi Olivia, I'd like to try remote work in Japan, but was wondering if I spend half my time in meetings would I be a nuisance to others in a coworking space?

    • @oliviaimamura
      @oliviaimamura  Місяць тому +1

      Hi there :) some coworking spaces have phone booths in case you need to be in a space with no distractions but in general coworking spaces are ok with taking meetings in the open space! Some places have background music tho and can be a bit loud with everyone around so I’d say that it depends on what you’re comfortable with and what kind of an environment works for you.

    Hi! The WeWork in Shibuya how does it works? I check the website but i didn't find clear informations :( Does they have a daily pass option and how can i request one? Thank you!

    • @oliviaimamura
      @oliviaimamura  Рік тому +1

      Hi! They don't have a daily pass - the only option is to subscribe to a membership. You can either have your own dedicated desk in one of the locations or you can get something called an all-access membership that allows you to use any WeWork anywhere in the world! Just book a tour via their website to get more details - I think they were currently having some kind of a trial offer on the all-access membership but that said the membership isn't cheap still! Hope this helps, and hope you'll find a good coworking space for your needs :)

    Can you comment on the prices? :) thank you

      Hi! So sorry for my very late reply!
      WeWork all access is 42,900 yen/month but they often have discounts.
      Share lounge has also different kinds of memberships and the price depends on the location, but for Shibuya, a monthly membership is 30,000 yen per month. You can also get 5 or 10-day packages if you don't want to go every day.
      Andwork (the first one on the video) also has different plans - 25,000 yen for a basic monthly plan!
      I hope this helps!
