Where to Charge Your Phone Near Tokyo Station: Locations & Prices
Where to Charge Your Phone Near Tokyo Station: Locations & Prices
Choose portable battery rental when you need to move, or a verified power seat when you want to sit or work.
Start with two questions: does your phone still turn on, and do you have a compatible cable and charger? A café power socket is useful only when a suitable seat is available and you have the equipment to connect your device. A rental battery can let you keep moving, but the normal QR / app process needs a working phone.
The named cafés and workspaces below are outside the railway ticket gates. Yaesu is Tokyo Station’s east side; Marunouchi is the west side. Check the floor and your next departure route before crossing the station just to charge.
Official information checked: 7 October 2026. Prices are in Japanese yen and include tax where specified by the operator. Seat vacancies, rental batteries and return slots change during the day. Photos are entrance or equipment examples, not live availability indicators.
Quick answer
Where should you start?
- Need to keep moving: locate CHARGESPOT batteries and an accessible return point before your phone dies.
- Want a drink and a power seat: check Tully’s Coffee Granage on the Yaesu South side.
- Need a work call: compare TELECUBE at Shin-Marunouchi Building with STATION DESK Gransta Marunouchi.
- Already use Smart EX / Express Reservation: EXPRESS WORK-Lounge can be an option near Nihonbashi Exit.
- Need longer rest at night: ask Customa Cafe Yaesu about its charging equipment and a suitable room.
- Phone is already off: go to the dead-phone section; QR-based rental cannot start on that device.

For a phone-only top-up, compare a rental or a café order before buying an hour of workspace time. For a scheduled call, the ability to reserve a suitable room may justify the extra cost. Fifteen-minute hourly comparisons here use four billing units; the booked duration and extension rules still apply.

How to use each option
Check the actual service before walking there
CHARGESPOT: plan both pickup and return
Use CHARGESPOT’s official map to find a nearby stand. Compare the number of batteries available to rent with the empty slots available for return; these are different things. Also check the gate side, floor and host-building opening hours.
The normal process is to sign in through a supported app, scan the stand’s QR code, choose payment and take the released battery. Supported routes include the dedicated app and payment / mini-app services. Availability of a payment route depends on the app you use; check the screen before starting.
A battery can be returned to a different compatible stand. Insert it into an available slot, then check that the rental has ended and the final charge is displayed. A planned return point can become full, so keep enough time to use another one before departure.
Rental batteries have built-in cables. The operator lists ordinary 5,000 mAh batteries and newer 8,000 mAh fast-charge batteries with USB-C and Lightning leads. Do not assume every stand dispenses the newer model. For a laptop, use an adapter and power source suited to its own requirements.

Tully’s Granage: a verified power café on the Yaesu side
Tully’s Coffee Granage is on B1 outside the gates, toward Yaesu South. The Gransta listing explicitly marks Wi-Fi and power as available. Ask whether an outlet-equipped customer seat is free before ordering specifically for charging.
Pay for your chosen drink or meal; this is not a timed workspace reservation. Bring your own charger and cable and follow the shop’s seat-use rules. A power listing does not mean that every seat has an outlet or that a long work call is suitable.
Do not choose a branch solely because it says “Starbucks.” The official listings for Starbucks Gransta Yaesu and Starbucks Gransta Tokyo B1 both mark Wi-Fi and power as unavailable. They may suit a coffee stop, but these listings do not support treating them as power-seat destinations.

TELECUBE: charge during a reserved work call
TELECUBE’s Shin-Marunouchi Building location is in the B1 office-entrance escalator hall, connected from Marunouchi Underground North Exit. The location lists socket / USB power, Wi-Fi, a monitor and a desk-style one-person booth.
The minimum booking or immediate-use unit is 15 minutes. At ¥330 per unit, 30 minutes is ¥660. Reserve or check immediate availability through TELECUBE’s service; the photographed booth is an equipment example, not proof that a particular booth is empty.
This is a work and call option. Bring the charging cable or laptop adapter you need, and check suitcase dimensions before reserving a small booth. The location warns that the door locks automatically: do not leave your phone inside if you step out.

STATION DESK: enclosed rooms on the Marunouchi side
STATION DESK Gransta Marunouchi is a separate service from TELECUBE. It provides enclosed work rooms outside the gates on the Marunouchi Underground South side, with power and Wi-Fi listed by Gransta.
A one-hour booking at the published rate equals ¥1,980 for STANDARD or ¥2,200 for PREMIUM. Register and enter credit-card information through STATION WORK for prepayment. Use the reserved room for work or calls; the common utility area is not an alternative work seat.
The listing schedules closure from 30 December to 3 January, and holiday hours can change. Confirm the date and room in booking rather than treating the normal daily hours as a year-round guarantee.
If you are already inside JR’s gates, use STATION WORK’s location search to compare inside-gate STATION BOOTH sites. Their gate access, hours and tariffs are separate from this STATION DESK listing. Read the exact location before reserving.

EXPRESS WORK-Lounge: check the registration steps
EXPRESS WORK-Lounge is on 11F of Marunouchi Central Building, with a published one-minute walk from the Tokaido Shinkansen Nihonbashi Exit. This is the north / Nihonbashi end of the station, not the same route as Yaesu South.
The operator lists sockets at every seat and permits calls / web meetings. A semi-private seat costs ¥330 per 15 minutes, between the open-seat and private-room prices in the comparison. Choose the actual room type needed for the call; a semi-private seat has an opening above it.
For personal registration, first obtain an EX authentication code from Express Reservation or Smart EX, then register and book EXPRESS WORK with the required details and credit card. If you are a first-time visitor with almost no battery, this registration sequence may be less practical than a nearby power seat or rental.

Customa Cafe Yaesu: longer rest and charging at night
Customa Cafe Yaesu lists mobile-phone / iPhone chargers, free Wi-Fi and private rooms. The branch gives a six-minute walk from Tokyo Station’s Yaesu exit. Ask at reception whether a compatible charger is available and what power connection your room provides before buying the course.
The room prices in the comparison are per person. During Friday or holiday-eve 18:00 through Sunday or holiday 18:00, packages add ¥550. A three-hour private-room package is then ¥2,200. Extension is automatic, with no front-desk reminder, so set your own end-time alert.
Membership is optional; registration requires identification, and passports are listed among accepted documents. Bring your laptop’s own adapter rather than relying on a phone charger. If you also want to lie down, request a flat-type room; see the nap guide for room choices.

Bus-terminal rental: a specific Yaesu-side B1 location
Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu lists CHARGESPOT on B1 in Underground B’s waiting area. The waiting area opens 05:00–00:35 and is provided for bus waiting. Follow the terminal floor map to Underground B; it is different from Underground A and from the JR highway-bus stops.
The terminal describes app preparation for rental. It does not establish that the machine supports card-tap rental without a phone. Check the live rental map and the actual machine before relying on either a battery or an empty return slot.
This can fit a bus journey when you are already using that terminal. It is not a 24-hour battery pickup point. If your next bus departs from a different stop, compare the trip there and back with a nearer rental location.
Official information: Underground B B1 battery rental and waiting-area hours
If your phone has already died
A switched-off phone cannot scan a QR code, open a rental app or unlock a booked space through that device. Choose a method that does not depend on first using the dead phone.
If you have a charger, ask a staffed facility for a permitted customer socket. If not, ask a nearby open shop about a compatible charged battery or charger for sale. Confirm the connector and usable battery charge before paying; stock is not guaranteed.
CHARGESPOT also has a credit-card tap-payment machine type: select “RENT” on its screen and use a supported physical card. Some cards may show a temporary ¥4,080 authorization. This applies only to equipped machines; it is not a feature of every QR stand, and this guide does not establish one at a specific Tokyo Station location.
A travelling companion with a working phone can consider arranging a rental on their own account. Make clear who will return it and pay. Once your phone restarts, save the route and ticket details before continuing.

Standard rental tariff
CHARGESPOT: the price runs until the battery is returned
Scroll horizontally to compare →
| Time before completed return | Standard total fee |
|---|---|
| Under 30 minutes | ¥165 |
| 30 minutes–under 1 hour | ¥330 |
| 1 hour–under 3 hours | ¥430 |
| 3 hours–under 6 hours | ¥500 |
| 6 hours–under 12 hours | ¥570 |
| 12 hours–under 24 hours | ¥640 |
| From 24 hours | Add ¥360 per further 24-hour period |
| 120 hours and beyond | Published total including penalty: ¥4,080 |
For example, 20 minutes at a standard-rate stand costs ¥165, while 45 minutes costs ¥330 and two hours costs ¥430. The time is the rental period, not just the minutes your phone is connected. Leave enough time to find an available return slot before a price boundary.
Some stands have special tariffs. Read the rental screen before confirming; discounts and regional campaigns are not assumed in this table. Loss or damage compensation is separately listed as ¥4,080. CHARGESPOT Pass is a subscription with its own terms, not the standard one-off tariff shown here.

Avoid an extra journey
Bag storage, hotel rooms and late hours
Do not make luggage storage a compulsory first step when your phone is about to die. Keep your bag with you if the charging option can accommodate it. For a small one-person booth, check room dimensions before booking; your hotel may be able to hold the suitcase. Use the baggage guide if separate storage is actually needed.
If you already have a hotel room, charge before checkout and carry a compatible cable with you. Before check-in, ask about access or permitted charging at reception. Buying a whole day-use room just for phone power is usually unnecessary; consider it when you also need a bed, bathroom or several hours of privacy.
For overnight use, check an accessible host location rather than assuming every rental map pin is reachable. The terminal closes overnight, Tully’s opens later on weekends, and the named workspaces are daytime facilities. Customa Cafe’s 24-hour operation makes it a candidate for longer rest, subject to room and charger availability. See the late-night / early-morning guide.
Bring the right equipment and protect your departure time
- For a wall socket, bring the device’s compatible adapter and cable.
- For a USB outlet or rental lead, check the connector and power requirements.
- Use only outlets designated or permitted for customers.
- Keep your phone, passport, ticket and luggage with you.
- Use battery-saving settings while setting up the rental or reservation.
- Check the return location and confirm rental completion.
- Budget walking, sign-in, checkout and platform access; charging speed is device dependent.
