Unless you’re an IN DOOR person, that’s all you need. Besides, It's dirt cheap for a HOTEL!!! Right! To add more info, they also have a Four persons ROOM!. Great! Next thing, they'll make book shelves for People!! Awosome!!!

I stayed at a Capsule hotel in TYO. You just need to be familiar with the steps that Rioko has outlined. One refused me entry - pointing to a poster that indicated only for Japanese speaking. At others, when they find out you do not speak Japanese, they quickly ask if you're familiar with their bathing system - small stools in the communal setting. Just tell them you've read up on it already. Totally comfy if you can get past some snoring - thus earplugs are good.

its like a human kennel....

would it be possible to use a similar concept on international airplane flights? I'd love to be able to sleep, and it's roomier than the seats are now!

didn't the contestants stay there on the amazing race? it looked so cool :-)

A good idea for the U.S. homeless population during winter?
amiran - August 22, 2007
it makes you more accustomed to... your grave; claustrophobic people will not make it through the night...

hi rioko! glad to see you again what a great video that is. keep up the excellent work hopefully i see you on TV soon

The room seems like a great place to get some sleep if all of the surrounding "units" held quiet sleepers. I don't move around much at night, so I would sleep well, especially because I use a CPAP.

Claustrophobia!

I am with the person that says what to do if you have two people. Do they offer doubles for husbands and wifes? I wonder what their honeymoon suite looks like
unreconstructed1 - August 03, 2007
so was the place originally a morgue that was renovated? thats the impression I got from the "rooms"
Jesse - August 03, 2007
Rioko is so cute. Was that an Australian accent? And what if you want a two-person pod? Perhaps for those who want to be close, the size is perfect. Last thought; isn't the TV facing the wrong way from the pillow? They better be showing MXC!
Boris B - August 03, 2007
Excelent concept. What else do you need to sleep over the night ? I just didn't figure out if there is a place to take a shower and wash your teeth in the compound.

I can from Japan to Los Angeles in 1964 on a Japanese ship where I had a bunk the size of that hotel room...the sides were a curtain.
Cynthia. - August 03, 2007
If i'm staying there it is just to experience something defferent, nothing more.
chin how wee - August 02, 2007
I have a cousin who has stayed there and enjoyed it very much!
Biks Wigglesworth - August 02, 2007
Gee..When I first saw the shoe closet I thought, "Damn! That IS a small room!"
Drag - August 02, 2007
I believe that was (35years ago) something similar at Copenhagen Airport. Forgot all about but it was comfortable enough for me.
jack tequila - August 02, 2007
just like the fifth element airplane sleep room.
Teen - August 02, 2007
Way better than a 15-person room at a hostel.
Paul - August 02, 2007
Praise Buddha for the shoe cleaning vending machine!

Its like sleeping in an MRI.
Theo - August 02, 2007
Dude! That would be a Great Room to Stay in!
Alexis Paret - August 02, 2007
There's one that opened in London recently...hopefully one will open in New York soon...can't find anything decent less than 200 in NYC.
Pardostist - August 02, 2007
I will take a peek to satisfy my curiosity. But sorry, not staying there.
KateC. - August 02, 2007
Oh my, what a concept! Price is tough to beat in such an expensive city. But if you are scared of closed spaces like me, it does not seem like the best option. Having a TV helps.
Erin - August 02, 2007
Eerily, it looks quite comfortable. I would not mind staying in there.
