Membership co-working spaces are increasing, creating opportunities for users to think of new ideas and expand their business activities through encounters with each other.
A co-working space is a shared working environment where members can use desks, conference rooms, Wi-Fi and other office facilities and services. Users are usually work-at-home professionals and other independent workers.
Fumitaka Suzuki, 35, became a member of PoRTaL, a spacious co-working space in the busy Shibuya shopping district in Tokyo, in July 2012 when he became an independent interior designer.
