Can anyone recommend a small co-working space in Tokyo?

I'm looking for somewhere I could work from for maybe two weeks. Minimal demands: decent wi-fi, maybe a printer. I'd love good company - and will try to be the same.

Thank you,

You don't mention if you speak Japanese or not. A fair number of
co-working spaces don't seem to provide English support.

I regularly hold/go to a couple of meetups at Co-Edo in Kayabacho[1].
They have a cheap drop-in rate of ¥1000/day with no special
registration (just go in and pay), decent enough facilities (including
monitors) though the building is quite old, and the owner I think
speaks a bit of English, though I don't think any of the other staff
do, and I've never seen other English speakers there except for those
who show up to the (English-language) meetups.

I've also noticed a new place that's just opened up in Shibuya, Work
Court Shibuya[2], which looks pretty high-end, except they don't seem
to provide monitors. Their monthly rates right now are quite cheap
(¥25,000 for 24h access, ¥15,000 for daytime-only) but their drop-in
rate is ¥2000/day. They seem to provide service only in Japanese and
there's some sort of non-trivial registration procedure to get any
kind of access, as far as I can tell.
