All you can drink vending machine (200 yen for 2 hours or free)

For an hour stay, the cost is generally about 400 yen. Some manga cafés offer a service where one can rest for the night and have showers.
Japanese use “Manga cafe” often when they miss their last train.
Actually much cheaper than staying at hotels or taking a taxi.
Less than 1500 yen for 8 hours, how cheap, isn’t it?
How about staying overnight in a “Manga cafe”?
