You can find laundromat in many towns and cities, and also in many Business Hotels and many Youth Hostels.

In many laundromats, washing machine and drier are separate. And detergent is not included in the charge for washing machine. You can buy it in a laundromat, but it may be expensive. I recommend you to buy it in a convenience store, 100yen shop or supermarket.
