Tips for renting a dance studio near Ichijoji as a visitor

  • Booking: many studios only take bookings in Japanese, on their own websites or on platforms such as Instabase and Spacemarket (which add fees). Rental Studio Dancers takes bookings through LINE (@668oeqqk), and its team can reply to short messages in English.
  • Payment: cards and PayPay are common, but some studios are cash only, so carry some yen.
  • Shoes: bring clean indoor shoes, or practise barefoot or in socks where allowed. Heels and tap shoes are usually not allowed unless the studio says so.
  • Time: your booking includes setting up, changing and cleaning. Enter at your start time and leave on time; unstaffed studios charge penalties for overstaying.
  • Neighbours: keep music at a reasonable volume and don’t gather outside the building.
  • Getting there: an IC card (ICOCA, Suica, etc.) works on Kyoto’s subway, trains and buses.
