co-ba takamatsu

A community coworking space in the center of Takamatsu, run by Anabuki Group and part of the co-ba network that spans coworking locations across Japan. The space sits in AH Building in Kajiyamachi, a quiet office district about nine minutes from Kotoden Kawaramachi Station. It draws entrepreneurs, freelancers, students, and people who have relocated to Kagawa from other prefectures.

The building has two floors of workspace. The first floor is open for drop-in use, Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00. It functions as an open workspace and can also host events and seminars. The second floor is a quieter, more focused environment with meeting rooms, accessible only to monthly members. Members on the second floor get 24-hour, 365-day access. One member uses it for late-night work. Another goes early in the morning for studying. If you need round-the-clock flexibility, membership is the right call.

Drop-in costs ¥550 for one hour, ¥1,100 for three hours, or ¥1,650 for a full day. PayPay is accepted on top of standard payment methods. Wi-Fi is included and reviewers describe it as fast. Power outlets are available throughout. The first floor has a kitchenette area and free tea and snacks are provided. The layout includes wall-facing desks on the first floor for those who want to keep their head down, and private booths that drop-in users can book for video calls.

Be aware that this is a genuinely social space. The atmosphere is open and community-driven. Staff are present and interact with members regularly. One reviewer noted it is better suited to people who want to work and connect rather than those looking for pure heads-down silence. If uninterrupted focus is your priority for the whole day, the second-floor member area is the better fit. Drop-in users on the first floor share space with events, occasional gatherings, and conversation.

Monthly membership starts at ¥11,000 for a free-address desk and requires a one-time joining fee of ¥5,500 per person. New members go through a tour, interview, and screening process before signing up. Private offices start at ¥34,100 per month. Optional add-ons include business address registration (¥5,500/month), postal address use (¥3,300/month), a locker (¥2,200/month), and a monitor stand (¥550/month).

The community manager, Natsumi Ishikawa, has been with the space since 2022 and is actively involved in connecting members. Reviewers credit her with introductions that led to new projects and expanded professional networks. The space runs a monthly social gathering on the last Friday of the month, along with other community events including a mindfulness meditation session and an international culture exchange meetup called WORLD MEETIN' SANUKI.

One practical note for first-time visitors. The entrance requires a code. If you arrive without prior registration, you may not be able to get in. Contact the space via their Google Form or email before your first drop-in visit to confirm access.
