Darkrooms in Tokyo?

Do you guys know where I can find a darkroom in Tokyo?

I have a bunch of film that I must process by hand; I'm looking for a space that'll let me try out a few alternative processes along with traditional b&w film processing.

Weekends are good.

Brownie points for darkrooms that come with scanners (drum / flatbed).

Quick googling of 暗室 and レンタル turns up these:1, 2 (Japanese). Here's a list (Japanese) from May 2007 that someone compiled of darkrooms in the Tokyo area, but I have no idea if these are all still around or if they are any good. The Google result. Hope you speak some Japanese, because I'm willing to bet you there won't be too many English speakers to help you out. Happy developing!
