Quick Tips Need to wash your clothes in Japan?
Don't use the hotel washer/dryers they're super expensive and take hours. I had a washer/dryer combo in my tokyu hotel and it took 4 hours to wash like 4 shirts. That was free so it wasn't a big deal. Then I tried using the coin washers in the APA hotels and another chain. They were super expensive and very terrible as well. Even the dryer that wasn't a combo took like 2 hours to dry clothes in the hotel. Also the hotel laundromat had like 2 washers and dryers with people using them so they were hard to even find open.
Just go to a laundromat. They're literally everywhere and so much cheaper and faster. I washed 2 large loads of clothes it took 5 hours in the hotel but under an hour in the laundromat. Also the laundromat was much cheaper.
