BRIC

A small-scale coworking and share office in central Takamatsu, located in the Tokiwa shopping street arcade. BRIC occupies four floors of a building that doubles as a gallery, event venue, and incubation space. The concept is about creating a chain of inspiration. In practice it functions as a reliable drop-in workspace with a noticeably warm, community-oriented feel that reviewers contrast favourably with the more corporate coworking spaces in larger Japanese cities.

Drop-in use is available with no reservation needed. The space runs across the first two floors as coworking. The 1F is an open area with counter seating and sofas, suited to those who want a social or more relaxed atmosphere. The 2F has partitioned sections designed for focused individual work and includes a separate meeting room. Most reviewers who used it for solo work sessions mention the ability to concentrate as the main draw.

One important note on Wi-Fi. One reviewer flagged the shared Wi-Fi as very slow and said it was a problem without a personal mobile data connection. If you work on video calls or need reliable bandwidth, bring your own SIM or pocket Wi-Fi as a backup.

The 3F is a share office for startups, freelancers, and businesses that need a registered address. An initial fee of ¥11,000 applies for share office contracts. The 4F is a rental office. Contact the space directly for current pricing on monthly and share office plans, as these are provided via PDF and are not publicly listed online.

Art exhibitions and events are held regularly at BRIC, giving the space a gallery-like character that sets it apart from a standard coworking setup. No food or drinks are served on-site. Dietary options not confirmed. The building is no-smoking throughout, and alcohol is not permitted. Open Monday to Saturday from 11:00 to 22:00. Closed Sunday.
