Kaikatsu CLUB · Ikebukuro East Exit Ekimae

Station Exit 40 and fifth-floor reception

The café occupies floors 4–6 of the Akimoto Building at 1-24-2 Minami-Ikebukuro, with reception on the fifth floor. Official directions give a one-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station Exit 40. The nearby East Exit Ekimae No. 2 and West Exit Ekimae locations are separate branches with different addresses and facilities.

Membership and identification

This is a members-only facility; each user normally registers individually, and same-day joining is possible. The official FAQ states that there were no joining or annual fees as of March 2026. Membership cards work across branches, but original identification is required the first time you use a Tokyo branch.

Tokyo branches require a single identity document showing your name, date of birth and current address. The official FAQ includes passports among accepted documents but says entry is refused if the verification requirements are not met. Foreign-passport holders should check documentation with the branch before visiting. Photographs of ID documents are not accepted.

Seats and included facilities

The official branch listing shows reclining and fully flat seats, a drink bar, soft-serve ice cream and free showers. “Free showers” does not mean that the internet-café session is free. Even if you visit only to shower, charges apply according to your time inside.

Waiting times and prices

During the visit, the shower wait was about 90 minutes and the total stay about two and a half hours. This was a personal experience in March, not a fixed current waiting time. Ask about both seat type and shower availability when entering to judge how much time you need.

The official branch page provides a price chart and vacancy lookup. Distinguish weekend and special-date charges, and check the rate for your chosen seat and session length.
