There is a kind of hostel called independent space capsule, which was formerly a Japanese capsule hotel.
Maybe some friends have already experienced it. Overall, capsule hotels are cheaper than average business hotels.
The capsule hotel was designed by Japanese architect Ki Kurokawa, and the first capsule hotel opened in 1979 in Umeda, Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture.
In 1985, at the Japan International Science and Technology Fair, people from all over the world saw this cheap and convenient way of accommodation, which caused quite a stir.
Capsule hotels are like independent space capsules, completely different from hotels in the ordinary sense.
Each capsule is about 2 meters long and about 1 meter high, so as long as you are not a particularly tall person, you can still sit up inside.
Although the facilities cannot be compared to ordinary hotels, capsule hotels will try to install as many things as possible for the convenience of guests.
For example, exhaust fans, storage boxes, and some will also install brackets on the wall to hang the TV.
Here's a small detail, in order not to disturb other people's rest while watching TV or playing on the phone, the capsule will prepare headphones for guests.
A relatively thick drawer is installed at the entrance of each capsule to ensure privacy for everyone.
There are showers in public areas, and larger capsule hotels even have hot springs.
At the entrance of the room, there is usually a storage box for valuables, which can be locked after putting them in, which is very convenient.
In fact, the original intention of developing capsule hotels in the early years was to make it easier for office workers in Japan.
People often find that there is no last train after working overtime, so many people choose to stay in capsule hotels and get a good night's sleep.
Because of this function, capsule hotels are usually located well, and will be opened near convenient stations or more prosperous cities.
For tourists, this point also happens to be one of the issues to consider when choosing a hotel.
Therefore, with the increasing number of tourists visiting Japan, capsule hotels have become the choice of many foreign tourists.
Even if you are on a budget, you will choose to stay in a capsule hotel for one night just to experience this unique way of staying.
