ii-office Opens a New Coworking Space in Nishi-Ogikubo with All Private Rooms, Just a 20-Second Walk from the Station

ii-office Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Hiroshi Ryuzaki), which operates a network of approximately 900 workspaces across all 47 prefectures of Japan, has announced the opening of 'ii-office Nishi-Ogikubo,' a workspace with all private rooms, located just a 20-second walk from Nishi-Ogikubo Station.

All Private Rooms × 24-Hour Access × 20 Seconds from Station: A Workspace with Three Strengths

At ii-office Nishi-Ogikubo, every room is a fully private space enclosed by walls and a door. It is located a 20-second walk from the JR Nishi-Ogikubo Station's south exit and is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

The 75-square-meter floor in the Nishiogi Sky Building houses six single-person private rooms, one two-person private room, and four meeting rooms for 4-6 people. By eliminating open-plan spaces and designing every unit as a fully private room, users can concentrate on work or study in their own space without being distracted by their surroundings.

A Focused Space for Remote Work and Web Meetings, Anytime

The single-person rooms are ideal for telework or studying for qualifications, while the two-person rooms can accommodate pair work. Monitors, HDMI cables, headphones, and charging cables are available for free rental, allowing visitors to start working immediately even if they arrive empty-handed.

Four Meeting Rooms for 4-6 People, from Business Talks to Training

There are four meeting rooms in total: two for four people and two for six. They can be used for business negotiations, online interviews, or small-group seminars and training sessions. As all meeting rooms are also fully private, they provide a secure environment for confidential discussions.

24-Hour Access × 20 Seconds from Station: Flexible Usage

Located just a 20-second walk from the south exit of Nishi-Ogikubo Station on the JR Chuo and Chuo-Sobu lines, the facility is open 24/7. Entry and exit are managed via a smart lock system, allowing users to choose their time, from early morning sessions to late-night work pushes.

A variety of plans are available to suit different usage frequencies, from drop-in (hourly billing) to monthly subscriptions. It is also possible to secure a seat with an advance reservation.

The space is available for a wide range of users, including teleworkers, freelancers, students aiming for certifications, and individuals preparing to start their own business.

'E Solution': ii-office's In-House Unmanned Operation System

'E Solution' is an unmanned operational system developed by ii-office, the company with the No. 1 market share in the number of locations. By linking a smart lock, an app, and a management dashboard, the system automates reception, payment, entry/exit, and reservation management to enable unmanned operation. Furthermore, remote monitoring is possible through integration with AI cameras.

By implementing 'E Solution,' facilities can increase sales and reduce costs simultaneously, while also gaining brand recognition through listings on an SEO-strong website and app. After implementation, ii-office provides support for system-related questions and helps solve challenges by sharing data and expertise.

- **1. Sustainable Long-Hour Operation through Optimized Labor Costs** The system optimizes labor costs, a major challenge in traditional store management, through technology. The dedicated 'ii-App,' smart locks, and AI cameras work in concert to enable unmanned entry/exit management, reservations, and payments. This maximizes revenue opportunities through extended operating hours without the hassles of staff recruitment and shift management. It can be introduced not only in coworking spaces but also in any facility requiring access control, such as study rooms, rental meeting rooms, and rental studios.

- **2. Transform Vacant Spaces into Low-Cost, High-Efficiency Workplaces** 'E Solution' smoothly transforms underutilized assets—such as mid-level floors in office buildings, vacant storefronts near stations, or surplus space in existing facilities—into efficient business hubs. Implementation is simple: just display a QR code and install the designated camera and smart lock. This allows for a business launch with minimal initial investment and risk.

- **3. Leverage the Nationwide 'ii-office User' Network** By implementing 'E Solution' and operating under the 'ii-office' brand, facilities connect to a nationwide user network. An ecosystem is created where potential users, such as workers across the country and employees of corporate clients, become aware of the location and are encouraged to use it through the app, without excessive advertising expenditure.
