I. On Kashiwa Campus
The Campus has two cafeterias, one sushi restaurant and a food shop where you can buy lunch boxes and fast foods on site. Each meal costs 500-1,000 yen.
1. Cafeteria
Out of the two cafeterias, the cafeteria closer to IPMU and literally called “CAFETERIA,” does NOT accept cash. Instead, you can use two major Japanese IC cards, Suica or PASMO, which you can download as a mobile app and start using at once. If you do not have either of these, you can purchase a prepaid card at the vending machine next to the showcase near the entrance.
【Buying a cafeteria card and adding value】
- Insert money into the slot.
- Select the value you want to add (from 1,000 yen, 2,000 yen, 3,000 yen, 5,000 yen and 10,000yen).
- Get your card and change if any.
【How to order】
- Choose what you eat from dishes displayed in the showcase.
- Go to a counter where the food is served. There are 3 sections: combo-style dishes (the near side from IPMU), bowls and curries (in the middle) and noodles (the far side from IPMU).
- Take a tray and tell the server what you want. You can add side dishes on the showcase onto your tray by yourself. For the payment, place your card on the card reader after the server asks you to.
- After you finish, return your tray and plates to the washing conveyer. There are trash buckets for leftovers, combustible waste (chopsticks) and plastic waste respectively.
