An economic option
If you are looking to save some money, this is the place ... but it takes a bit of getting used to! Internet cafes, known as "manga kissa" in Japan, are completely different from what we're accustomed to in the west. They are everywhere in Tokyo, and can be found without any problems. As you enter a receptionist welcomes you, and you choose how many hours you want to stay, and what type of accommodation you prefer.
Standard packages can be added to (eg 10 hours = 1500 Package yen, 400 yen for each additional hour), while with regard to the accommodation there are several possibilities: a chair in a shared room, a private room with an armchair, or a private room with a futon. And of course, there's a computer with an internet connection, no matter what option you've selected. Besides this, the manga kissa offer other services including: Bathroom (shared but still in good condition), shower fee (100 yen = less than 1 euro) that we have to book at the time of our arrival, huge shelves full of manga and anime (Japanese comics and cartoons), free drinks and ice creams, and other types of food for a fee.
