With the introduction of the monthly membership system starting April 1, 2026, our reservation website, cancellation policy, and several other rules will be updated.
Pole Dance Tokyo was founded by our owner, Lu, who started the studio alone in New York, USA. Since then, the studio has moved from Ebisu to our current location in Akasaka, and we were honoured to celebrate our 20th anniversary last year.
We would not have reached this milestone without the continued support of our wonderful community. We sincerely thank all of you who have supported the studio over the years.
Over the past 20 years, we have done our best to keep our classes accessible and affordable, and we have not raised class prices.
However, due to the significant increase in studio rent in recent years, as well as rising costs for equipment and supplies, it has become increasingly difficult to maintain the current pricing despite our efforts to manage these challenges.
Therefore, with great regret, some prices will be revised starting April 1, 2026.
Please note that many of our services will remain at their current prices, and we have done our best to minimise the impact on our members.
We will continue striving to provide a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable studio environment, along with high-quality classes for everyone.
We sincerely appreciate your understanding and continued support.
①✨New Monthly Membership & “No Expiration” Rollover! ✨
We are introducing a new Monthly Membership (subscription) system, allowing you to plan your training more consistently. If you would like to take additional classes, “top-up” classes will be available at a per-class rate.
The biggest highlight:
❤️ Unused classes will never expire as long as you remain a Monthly Member. ❤️
-
Leave of Absence: You may pause your membership for up to 3 months per year. Your rolled-over classes will remain saved during this time.
-
Please note: If you cancel your Monthly Membership or switch to Drop-in access/member, any unused rolled-over classes will expire.
② ✨New Booking System: “hacomono”✨
Starting April 1, we will be switching from Coubic/Kantanyoyaku to a new, user-friendly booking platform called hacomono.
Detailed instructions on how to use hacomono will be sent to you shortly.
③ Current Class Tickets 🎟️
With the introduction of the monthly membership system, sales of 5-class and 10-class tickets will end on March 31, 2026.
Don’t worry — any tickets you currently have will remain valid until their original expiration date. We will ensure a smooth transition for everyone.
④ Open Pole & Aerial hours (Self-Practice) 🙇♀️
Self-practice sessions will continue to use a ticket system. Please note that under the new system, expiration dates will be strictly enforced, and we will no longer be able to extend or roll over expired practice tickets.
In exchange, we have made class rollovers unlimited for our monthly members, providing maximum flexibility! ⭐️
⑤ Updated Cancellation Policy (24-Hour Notice) 🙇♀️
To ensure that students on the waiting list have a fair opportunity to join classes, the cancellation deadline will change from 12 hours to 24 hours prior to the class start time.
This change will help us create a more accessible and fair environment for everyone.
⑥ Annual Sports Insurance Update 🙇♀️
To ensure long-term safety and support for our students, our Sports Safety Insurance will change from a one-time signup fee to an annual renewal system.
The insurance (1,650 yen per year) protects you during your practice. You will receive an automated notification through the booking system when your renewal date approaches.
We appreciate your cooperation in keeping your coverage up to date.
⑦ New Pricing & Terms of Service (Effective April 1)
🎁🎁🎁Exclusive Campaign for Current Members🎁🎁🎁
Period: April 1 – May 31
As a token of appreciation for our loyal students, we are offering a special transition campaign:
-
✅ FREE system registration fee (Save ¥3,300) when you switch to a Monthly Membership
-
✅ GIFT: One FREE Class Ticket and one FREE Open Pole/Aerial Ticket
(both valid for 3 months) -
✅ GIFT: As a token of our appreciation to all current members who have been supporting our studio, the sports insurance fee for the 2026 coverage year will be covered by the studio. Therefore, no sports insurance payment is required at the time of this membership transition.
*The next insurance renewal will take place one year after your enrollment date and will be automatically charged to the credit card registered for your monthly membership.
Terms:
*A minimum 3-month commitment to the Monthly Membership is required to participate in this campaign.
*You can defer your membership start date by up to one month. This allows you to start at your own convenience without any wasted fees.
