Otsuka and Sugamo: Fixed Shops, Appointment Rooms, and the Full Price
Otsuka and Sugamo are neighbors, but some brands name both while operating one room, and others have separate locations. This guide shows how to identify the actual location from the address, format, and mandatory fees.
A two-area brand name does not guarantee a free room choice
Even when an official site lists both Otsuka and Sugamo rooms, the schedule may assign each provider to one location. Confirm the provider’s room, arrival contact method, and whether a location change is possible.
Separate the course price from the minimum payable amount
Some prices include tax or provider selection, while others add a mandatory selection fee, card surcharge, or extras. Add mandatory items when comparing. If the official site does not publish an amount, keep it unknown rather than treating it as zero.
Fixed shops and appointment rooms have different arrival procedures
A fixed shop often publishes an address and entrance, while an appointment room may show only a station or neighborhood and provide directions after booking. Two listings can both say “near Sugamo Station” but require different arrival steps.
A foreign-card restriction is not the same as a nationality restriction
A statement that foreign-issued cards are not accepted describes payment, not international-customer eligibility. This directory records payment restrictions in the listing note and marks visitor terms as published only when the official site addresses nationality, language, or international customers directly.
