Yes, coin laundries (called "Koin Randori") are ubiquitous in Japan in 2026 and are incredibly high-tech. You will find them in almost every neighborhood and inside nearly all mid-range hotels like Dormy Inn or Toyoko Inn. Modern 2026 Japanese machines are often "integrated," meaning they wash and dry in the same drum without you needing to move the clothes. Most machines automatically dispense detergent and softener, so you don't need to buy your own. Many laundries in 2026 now feature QR code systems where you can check the "live status" of machines from your hotel room to see if any are free. A supportive peer tip: if you use a street-side laundry, look for the "Sneaker Washer"—a specialized machine with internal brushes designed specifically for cleaning shoes, which is a lifesaver if you've been walking 20,000 steps a day through Kyoto's rainy streets.
