MISSION STATEMENT

Common Bond is the newest co-working space to work in Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese are hard-working and extremely dedicated mostly because they are deeply rooted in the country’s history. Social factors contributing to this is their common desire to be the counterpart of the West, the collectivist mindset, and the availability of convenient services. The cultural expectation of “convenience” of 24hr services accommodates the customers but exhausts the laborers that house them. Tragic cases of ‘karoshi,’ death by overwork, have been influenced by the strict work ethic embedded in the minds of many Japanese people for generations. Some workers have other activities or hobbies to attend to, are drinking with their colleagues, or even simply bonding with their family and friends; there’s no time to relax. In consideration of the Japanese work environment, Common Bond Co-working is an inviting work space for workers are encouraged to thrive.
