All of the capsules lined up. I was on the top floor and had to climb up the ladder.

    It doesn't seem bad at all. How much was your stay there?

    Thought about these places but there are better alternatives for the same price or lower where you get an actual room. I stayed at a place called Aizuya Inn where you get your own small room.

    I'm 191 cm tall. I wonder if I could fit in the capsule?

    Thx - great to see inside a capsule hotel. Actually looks a reasonable place to stay for a quick trip with no family. Any idea of costs and opening hours? Normal hotels seem to check-in at 2pm and out by 10am.

    I much prefer that to the pod hotel I stayed in in London. We paid for a cabin to ourselves and to be honest, it was sort of an awful compromise between a real hotel room and one of these capsules. Much better to be out in communal areas most of the time, and only get in your capsule to basically fall asleep. Though in the pod hotel's defense, the rainforest shower and overall facilities were excellent. But I would prefer to use them out in the open like this. Thank you for the photos as I've never been able to see a realistic view inside these!

    I have always be fascinated with the capsules. Do they have themed ones?
