Abstract
This study reconsidered the function of town cafés as ‘the Third Place' from the two perspectives of "a place for exchange" and "a place for emotional support" for city dwellers and clarified the following three points based on user's consciousness and state of mind. In Japan, it was found that many people use cafés as a place to work alone or recover as "my place" type, and that "my place" type tends to use Chain cafés. Those who use cafés as a place for socializing in the traditional ‘Oldenburg type' chose privately owned cafés and were found to be highly dependent on them. People who use cafés tend to have higher well-being-related indicators, especially those who use privately owned cafés, than those who use Chain ones
