Japan, particularly in Tokyo, has built numerous kinds of themed cafes. Literally, manga and anime have built cafes for their passionate readers, which offer everything you need for surviving your one-night stay.
Either you are an avid reader of comic books or a lost cat, or simply finding cheap alternatives to hotels to spend the night, manga and internet cafes are there to give you a warm temporary home.
Some cafes have vending machines. Some sell unlimited food and drinks. Some even have separate rooms or stations, either with sofa, inclined chair or bed where you can read quietly and privately.
There are also manga cafes where you can enjoy billiards or darts between your reading breaks.
If you plan to have an overnight stay, find a Manga Cafe that has enough amenities like showers, charging area, and changing area.
For serious manga lovers, you can also try making your own art in cafes that offer workshops. You don't have to bring your drawing materials, the cafe will provide you with that. There are also options if you want to use computers to draw.
You can also visit the biggest museum for manga, the Kyoto International Manga Museum, which hoards thousands of titles that you must explore. Happy reading and lodging!
