I spend most of time facing towards PC in my room every day. It is sometimes depressing especially when my work doesn't go well as I expect. Changing the environment around me is one of the best way I know and I sometimes go to cafes where I open my notebook PC to do work with. Different from Vancouver, it is difficult to find a good cafe in Tokyo because the land is limited. I don't like to drink a cup of coffee in a overcrowded cafe with strangers within 30cm. It's impossible to work with PC in such an environment. I was lucky to find a cafe in my neighbors which was almost ideal for me. It is a tropical and open style cafe with about ten tables. Half of them are located on a lawn garden each covered with a gazebo. The menu items are reasonable and my favorite is a glass of mango juice. Unbelievably it is in Tokyo and I can connect to the Internet with the Emobile's wireless service. It is just like a hideaway and there are always few customers. I will never write about the detailed information about the cafe because it is my secret place.
Hi there!
I thought you've migrated to somewhere warm when I saw your photo! It's hard to belive this cafe locates in the middle of big city, Tokyo. I can see your work would progress better in there :)
Hope to see you in Van, soon!!!!

Maybe because of those chain coffee shops on every corner, there seems less privately ran cafe with some characters these days. I have been looking for a good place for myself to no avail.

This location looks like the tropics. No one believes this is in Tokyo.

Yes, this cafe is so tropical that there are some mosquitoes and we need mosquito coils.
