The monthly plans at cafe filament are designed so you can choose flexibly according to your lifestyle — an early riser, someone who wants a relaxed break, or someone doing remote work every day.
1. Morning plan: make the most of your morning focus
Why not start your day at the cafe? This is the most reasonable plan, ideal for anyone who wants to make good use of the morning, use cafe filament more economically, or study in the morning when concentration and productivity are at their highest.
- Price
- 7,000 yen (tax included) per month
- Hours
- Every day, 05:00–12:00
- Outstanding value: used daily, it works out at about 230 yen a day (based on a 30-day month) — less than a single cup of coffee at a cafe in Tokyo, for an environment where you can concentrate. You are of course free to enjoy the various coffees and teas.
- The advantage of unstaffed hours: between 05:00 and 10:00 the cafe is unstaffed, so you can immerse yourself in your work without the crowds.
- Free use of a private room: between 05:00 and 12:00, members may use a private room free of charge (advance reservation required, up to two hours per session). Useful for online meetings or when you want to concentrate further.
2. Weekday plan: for those who value work-life balance (the manager’s recommendation)
This plan covers every time slot on weekdays, for people who want to focus on work or study. It is not only for the early morning and daytime — we are open into the evening, so it suits self-study or reskilling after work, as well as homework and report writing.
The weekday plan has the most subscribers among our monthly members. While a typical shared office is around 60% men, about 60% of filament’s monthly members are women. We think that is one of the distinctive things about this place.
- Price
- 12,500 yen (tax included) per month
- Student and senior discount
- 9,900 yen (tax included) per month (a saving of 2,600 yen)
- Hours
- Weekdays, 05:00–22:00
- Student and senior discounts: this is the only monthly plan with a discount for students (including those at the Open University of Japan) and seniors aged 65 and over.
- Full-time coverage: before work in the morning, remote work during the day, and self-study on the way home — every weekday situation is covered by this one plan.
- Free drinks and your own food: as with all plans, drinks such as coffee are unlimited and you may bring your own food and drink, so you can stay all day with a lunch break in between.
The weekday plan does not cover Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays. If you would like to use the cafe on those days too, please choose the every day plan below.
3. Every day plan: use the cafe any day of the week
Our top plan lets you use every hour the cafe is open, on weekdays and at weekends alike, as your own office or study.
- Price
- 20,000 yen (tax included) per month
- Hours
- Every day, 05:00–21:00
- Complete freedom: the moment you think “I can’t concentrate at home today”, you can come in without worrying about the day of the week.
- Ideal for freelancers and people with a side business: for anyone juggling a main job on weekdays and side work or study at the weekend, having a fixed environment is a real advantage.
- Free printing: the every day plan is the only plan with free use of the printer (normally 10 yen for monochrome and 50 yen for colour). Printing becomes effortless, with no need to pay each time.
Benefits shared by all monthly plans
Becoming a monthly member opens up experiences unique to cafe filament that a simple drop-in visit cannot offer.
- Use during unstaffed hours (early morning and evening)
Ordinary drop-in use is limited to normal opening hours, but monthly members can unlock the door with the smart lock and use the cafe from 05:00 in the morning, and in the evening (weekday and every day plans). - Optional personal locker (1,100 yen per month)
Leave heavy textbooks, computer accessories or work tools at the cafe. You can build the smart routine of arriving empty-handed and starting work straight away. - Community and comfort
Although filament is a self-service cafe, there is a comfortable distance between you, the crew and other users. Becoming a monthly member turns it from a mere location into a place of your own — a third place. - Freedom in what you eat and drink
In addition to the unlimited drinks bar, you may bring your own food. The microwave and oven in the cafe are available too, so you can keep food costs down during a long stay and work while eating what you like.
Points to note when joining
- Admission fee: a flat 3,000 yen (tax included) is required when joining.
- Payment: by credit card only.
- Entry app: monthly members need to install the e-office app.
- Private-use restrictions: when the cafe is booked for private use, such as an event, members may not be able to use it. The schedule is shared in advance via LINE and the calendar on the official website, so we recommend checking. (Private events never take up more than six days in a month.)
