Let’s say you got in the middle of the night to Tokyo, Japan. Now let’s say that the cab driver dropped you off at Akihabara – the famous technology and otaku district.

Now let’s say that there is a big convention in the city and all the popular hotels are already full. What will you do? well, there is always the Capsule inn. For less than $40 a night you can get yourself comfortable genuine sardine can room.

What do you get for this low price? each room has blinds to be drawn for complete privacy. In the capsule unit, amenities like a TV, radio, alarm clock and adjustable lighting are provided. You can control all these devices in a sleeping position, as if you were in a cockpit of an aircraft, or spacecraft.

And if you think you recall this aircraft from somewhere, well you are right:

You might recall the movie The Fifth Element, directed by Luc Besson. Our capsule units will remind you of the main character, Bruce Willis’ small living and sleeping area.


We can continue for on and on about the 1m x 1m x 2m, about the separate woman floors and special 4 capsules in a room for a group of women traveling together. But we think you just better decide for yourself on the hotel for your next vacation.
