On the six chain pages below, the laundry line is a bare mention, usually just コインランドリー, coin laundry. It reads like a plain yes. The price, the coins the machine takes and the hours turn up on individual hotels’ pages, and they vary a lot. A washer can be free or ¥600 ($3.80), and ¥100 of dryer time buys 5 minutes at one hotel and 30 at another.
What the chains say
Toyoko Inn’s English site lists “coin-operated washers and dryers” among its building facilities. The pages for Super Hotel Shinbashi, Route Inn Ishinomaki, Richmond Hotel Suidobashi, Sotetsu Fresa Inn Kyobashi and JR East Hotel Mets Shibuya list コインランドリー, and Route Inn’s adds 乾燥機, dryers. Toyoko Inn, Super Hotel, Route Inn, Richmond and Sotetsu all say a coin laundry exists and none lists a price, and Mets doesn’t either. Only Mets says where the room is, on the 4th floor in the vending machine corner (「4階の自販機コーナーにございます」).
As of October 2026, from Toyoko Inn: English room page. From Super Hotel (in Japanese): Shinbashi page. From Route Inn (in Japanese): Ishinomaki page. From Richmond Hotels (in Japanese): Suidobashi page. From Sotetsu Hotels (in Japanese): Fresa Inn Kyobashi page. From JR East Hotel Mets (in Japanese): Shibuya FAQ.
Dormy Inn is the exception on price. It puts the washer under free services, with detergent added automatically and about 30 minutes a cycle, and charges ¥100 ($0.63) for 20 minutes in the dryer. Dormy Inn adds that many guests arrive without a change of clothes, because the wash can run while they are in the bath (「お風呂に入っている間に洗濯できる」). It speaks for the chain, so check the Dormy Inn you book.

The price is on the hotel’s own page
The chain pages above leave the price out. The rates below come from individual hotels that publish them, and they don’t line up. The washer runs from free to ¥600. The dryer is the bigger spread, because the same ¥100 buys different amounts of time. Its fifth column adds a wash to 60 minutes of drying, the yardstick Hotel Kintetsu Universal City gives for a 5 kg (11 lb) load. That column is arithmetic from the listed rates, and no hotel quotes it.
| Hotel page | Washer | Dryer | Wash plus 60 min drying | Where and how |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dormy Inn | Free, about 30 min | ¥100 per 20 min | ¥300 ($1.90) | Hours not stated |

| APA Hotel & Resort Yokohama Bay Tower | ¥500 ($3.20) per load | Not listed | Not listed | Notice dated July 17, 2024, new price from August 1, 2024 |
Dollar figures here use about ¥158 to the dollar (Trading Economics, October 2026), so check the day’s rate. Three notices are older, APA from July 2024, Shibuya Tokyu REI from August 2024 and CABIN from February 2025, so check the hotel’s current page before you rely on a price.
As of October 2026, from Dormy Inn (in Japanese): services page. From APA Hotel & Resort Yokohama Bay Tower (in Japanese): the price notice of July 17, 2024. From Prince Hotels: Sapporo (in Japanese), Sunshine City and Tokyo Bay Shiomi. From Premier Hotel CABIN Shinjuku (in Japanese): the laundry notice of February 23, 2025. From Tokyu Hotels: the Shibuya Tokyu REI price notice of August 7, 2024. From the Tokyo Disney Resort: the laundry room FAQ. From Hotel Kintetsu Universal City (in Japanese): the coin laundry page. From Hilton Tokyo Bay (in Japanese): the laundromat page.
Read the minutes before the yen. An hour of drying is ¥200 at Sunshine City Prince and ¥1,200 at Fantasy Springs Hotel, six times as much. Hotel CABIN Shinjuku and Hotel Kintetsu also sell a combined wash and dry for 3 kg, ¥600 at CABIN and ¥900 at Kintetsu, each taking about two hours.
Coins, change and the machine that locks
On trips of a week or more I wash at the hotel’s coin laundry or at one nearby. Payment is the first thing that can stop you. When a machine takes cashless payment, I pay that way. Three hotels in the table take 100-yen coins. Hotel CABIN Shinjuku takes only coins, and the front desk changes money. Hotel Kintetsu’s separate washers and dryers take 100-yen coins or an app, its all-in-one machines take coins, e-money or QR codes, and change is at the 3rd-floor front desk. Hilton Tokyo Bay takes coins or electronic payment. Two hotels take no cash: Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince accepts mobile payment only, and it says to have a smartphone ready, and Fantasy Springs Hotel is cashless only.
Detergent is added automatically at Dormy Inn, Sapporo Prince, Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Toy Story Hotel, Hilton Tokyo Bay and Kintetsu’s separate washers. The washer at Fantasy Springs Hotel uses no detergent, only what the Disney FAQ calls alkaline ionized water. Shizukuishi Prince Hotel sells six packets for ¥290 (about $1.80) in its shop. Several pages in the table don’t mention detergent, so ask at the desk before you buy a box.
Where a page gives hours, they are 24 hours. Several limit the room to guests, and the Disney FAQ says a room key is needed to enter at three of its four hotels with laundry rooms.
Two pages spell out the manners. At CABIN the door locks while the machine runs, and guests are asked to collect their laundry soon after drying ends. At Kintetsu, staff may take laundry out of the machine if it sits more than 20 minutes after the cycle. Both pages say you can check whether machines are free on the in-room TV.
As of October 2026, from the pages linked above for CABIN, Kintetsu, Hilton Tokyo Bay, Tokyo Bay Shiomi Prince and the Disney FAQ. From Shizukuishi Prince Hotel (in Japanese): the coin laundry page.
A washer in the room
Tokyu Stay is the clearest case of a washer in the room. Its Suidobashi hotel lists a washer-dryer (洗濯乾燥機) in all four room types, from Cozy Single to Superior Twin, and the English room page for Tokyu Stay Yotsuya lists Washer & Dryer for each room type shown. The chain’s FAQ is more cautious. Its English text says some rooms include a “washing machine/dryer combo”, so the room type matters more than the hotel name. FAQ item 4-13 says the push-type Attack ZERO detergent pump is in each room, and the answer lists no charge.
Machine counts matter on a long stay or with kids, and some pages give them. Shizukuishi Prince Hotel calls its laundry room one for long-stay guests, with two washers and two dryers, Sapporo Prince lists five of each, and Hilton Tokyo Bay lists 6 washers and 8 dryers of 5 kg (11 lb) each.
As of October 2026, from Tokyu Stay (in Japanese): the Suidobashi room page and FAQ. From Tokyu Stay: the Yotsuya English room page and the English FAQ. Machine counts from the Shizukuishi, Sapporo and Hilton pages linked above.
When the hotel does the washing
Tokyu Stay’s FAQ says the laundry service is taken at the front desk and paid for afterward. It isn’t offered at three hotels, Kanazawa, Hida-Takayama Musubi no Yu and Hakodate-Asaichi Akari no Yu. The Tokyo Disney Resort FAQ shows how much one resort can differ. Dry cleaning is available at Tokyo Disneyland Hotel, Disney Ambassador Hotel and Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta, and not provided at Toy Story Hotel or Celebration Hotel, which have coin laundries.
The Imperial Hotel Tokyo publishes a price sheet, and the prices are per piece. Dress shirts are ¥1,391 (about $9) laundered, a shirt is ¥1,897 (about $12) dry-cleaned, and a two-piece suit is ¥5,439 (about $34) dry-cleaned, with tax and service charge included. A 3-hour service adds 50%, and the page limits the service to staying guests. One laundered shirt there costs more than a wash and an hour of drying at most of the hotels in the table above.
As of October 2026, from Tokyu Stay: the English FAQ. From the Tokyo Disney Resort: the dry cleaning FAQ. From the Imperial Hotel Tokyo: the laundry services page.

JTB’s booking site has a 洗濯ができる (“can do laundry”) filter and pages built on it. Its Tokyo page, set to one room, two adults and one night with no dates, listed 30 properties and describes them as places with a coin laundry or a washing machine in the room. It adds that details are on the plan page (「詳細は、プラン詳細ページをご確認ください」).
On Rakuten Travel, a hotel’s own page lists laundry under 館内設備, in-house facilities. One hotel’s page reads コインランドリー(有料), coin laundry (paid), next to 洗濯機5台、乾燥機4台, five washers and four dryers, and gives no price. So a filter can tell you which hotels to look at, and the hotel’s own page or plan page is where the price and the hours are.

The short version
- Treat “coin laundry” on a chain page as a yes without a price. The hotel’s own page has the rate, the dryer minutes, the hours and who may use the room.
- Carry some 100-yen coins and set up a phone payment, because some laundries take only one of them.
- For a washer in the room, search the room type (洗濯乾燥機). For shirts and suits, ask the front desk about the laundry service and its per-piece prices.
