How Japanese Coin Laundromats Work

If you’re new to Japanese coin laundromats, here’s a quick walkthrough:

  1. Choose a machine based on your load size (small, medium, large).
  2. Load your laundry — no need to separate fabric softener or detergent in most cases; the machine dispenses them automatically.
  3. Insert payment — coins (100-yen pieces are most common), IC card (Suica/Pasmo), or QR-pay if supported.
  4. Press the start button — usually a large round green or red button labeled スタート (Start).
  5. Wait or come back when the cycle ends. Machines display remaining time on screen.
  6. Move clothes to a dryer after washing if needed. Dryer payment is usually time-based (¥100 per ~8 minutes).
