Capsule Hotel in Fukuoka, Japan

They are the province of travelers, and Japanese businessmen who miss their last train. These hotels are available all over major Japanese cities – especially Tokyo, where even cemeteries are housed in skyscrapers. These hotels closely resemble youth hostels – the sleeping berths are two meters long at the most, and maybe a meter wide. You can roll down a screen for privacy. But this is Japan, so the entire operation is often sleek, and spotless.

Re: Capsule Hotel in Fukuoka, Japan

It's like a cemetery for the living. I assume that the rent is cheap there, and Aussie guy is probably doing a backpackers trek around Asia. It's nice to see clips like this, because I've never seen this before, neat post Kelly.

Re: Capsule Hotel in Fukuoka, Japan

When you're in a country as small as Japan, efficiency & compact design is crucial with the limited space. The Japanese never cease to amaze!

Thanks for the video, by the way.

Re: Capsule Hotel in Fukuoka, Japan

I think that hotel is cool, love the door handles too. Nice little touch. Loved the underwear vendor

Remember Pilkington stayed in one on 'Idiot Abroad'? I thought "I'd be up for staying there, looked kinda cosy!"

He bought this 'crisp picker-upper' for his Monster Munch too :D
