Remote Pod haco

Two fully enclosed private work podsbuilt inside 町家ライブラリーぬい, a Meiji-era machiya townhouse in Nagasaki's Takaramachi district. The pods were purpose-built for telework and online meetings. Each is 1 to 2 square metres, completely enclosed, and quiet. A large monitor (~25 inches), desk, and lighting are included. Fast Wi-Fi and air conditioning are provided.

Reservation is required in advance via the upnow.jp booking platform. Pricing is ¥880 per hour or ¥5,500 for 24 hours. The space is open from 6:00 to 24:00 daily, making early-morning or late-night sessions possible. No walk-ins. Book before you arrive.

The compact size is by design. One reviewer who uses the space multiple times a month describes the small footprint as helping them concentrate. Better than any library or study room for focused work. Another visitor rated the environment positively for business negotiations, noting the monitor and private setting, but found the cost on the high side for solo casual use.

The space is operated by 長崎坂宿 (Sakayado Nagasaki), which also manages a cinema room, open-plan coworking desks, and a manga library in the same building complex. No food service on-site. Vegan, vegetarian, and dietary options are not confirmed as no food or drink is provided. Contact is via LINE (QR code on the website). Faster than email.
