Have you ever stayed at the Nine-Hour Capsule Hotel (カプセルホテル) in Japan? It was originally designed for office workers and traveling businessmen who often work late nights and have no time to get home. The biggest feature is that it is much more affordable than staying in a formal hotel. Let’s take a look at this nine-hour capsule hotel located on Teramachi Street in Kyoto, which has won multiple design awards.
The nine-hour hotel it defines is: seven hours of sleep + 1 hour of shower + 1 hour of free time. The price of nine hours is 4,900 yen, which is about 300 yuan. The capsule rooms for men and women are separated into two different floors. The first thing you have to do when you arrive is to put your shoes in the dedicated lockers. You can sit in the lobby and take a rest. Free wifi is indispensable. When you come to the shower room, pajamas, towels, shower gel and other shower necessities are neatly placed on the shelves. The dressing room outside the shower room is equipped with cameras, so you can safely hang your original clothes there.
After taking a shower, enter the capsule room along the corridor. The "capsules" are distributed on both sides, with two floors up and down, and a corridor in the middle. After entering the "capsule", the inside is not as narrow and crowded as expected. There is enough space for you to roll around inside without any feeling of oppression. As for the sound insulation effect, it cannot be verified, and it feels very quiet. I wonder if the passengers in the "capsules" on both sides fell asleep early. The lighting system is controlled by a simple panel and automatically dims when you're ready to sleep. You can set the alarm time as needed, and the light will gradually brighten according to the alarm you set, which is very user-friendly.
The entire capsule hotel is only in black and white, giving people a peaceful, clean and comfortable feeling.
