Café culture in Japan
Japan has two café worlds: the old kissaten with pour-over coffee and silence, and modern specialty cafés in Shibuya or Shimokitazawa. Laptops are allowed in many, but quietly and without calls; WiFi is not a given and outlets are often limited to certain seats. The Twork community has rated cafés in 7 Japanese cities, with measured WiFi and etiquette notes.
