Grand Opening of co-ba Yokohama Kannai

On May 20, 2026, co-ba Yokohama Kannai, one of the largest coworking spaces in the Kannai area, will officially open its doors. Located on the 11th floor of the BASEGATE Yokohama Kannai, which occupies the site of the former city hall, this unique facility aims to enhance work engagement and creativity through its thoughtfully designed environment.

About co-ba Yokohama Kannai

co-ba Yokohama Kannai boasts approximately 200 desks, including 140 free-address seats, private rooms for groups of 5, 8, and 9 people, twelve dedicated workstations, and five phone booths. With a total capacity designed to foster a collaborative and dynamic work atmosphere, the space embodies the concept of “WORK OUT PARK!”. This concept emphasizes not only dedicated work segments but also the importance of maintaining good mental and physical health as a foundation for higher work engagement.

The facility’s design integrates focused work areas with essential amenities such as one-person desks equipped with monitors and dedicated phone booths for privacy. In addition to task-focused spaces, co-ba has purposefully incorporated areas for activities like exercise, reading, and social interaction, recognizing that such “unspecified time” can be crucial for enhancing creativity and motivational levels.

From April 14, 2026, co-ba Yokohama Kannai has begun accepting applications for membership. There are four flexible monthly free-address plans starting at 5,000 JPY, tailored to various work styles, including a 24-hour access plan known as the Everyday Plan. Additionally, for businesses, two corporate plans are available from 113,000 JPY, which include features tailored for offices, such as room bookings and usage for multiple team members.

Opening Event: OPEN THE PARK

To celebrate the grand opening, co-ba Yokohama Kannai will host a three-day free event from May 20 to May 22, titled “OPEN THE PARK: A Work Experience Designing Focus, Energy, and Passion.” This event is aimed at individuals currently working or looking to work in Yokohama, providing an opportunity to experience the space, join various collaborative workshops, and explore wellness options during their visits. Attendees can participate in scheduled tours that will integrate their experiences with interactive sessions facilitated by partner companies.
