The nine hours capsule hotel in Tokyo is yet another wild idea coming from Japanese people. It aims to provide a luxury room in a minimum living space. The concept is really simple: you can spend nine hours in your capsule: 1 hour for shower and rest, and 7 hours to sleep.
Of course, this hotel might not be a good one for me, because I have hard times trying to sleep, but I assume it’s OK for most of people. And you can sleep in a 4star class bed for approximately €40, so I guess it’s worth the price.
There’s a lot to learn from the 9 hour capsule hotel in Tokyo. I tend to think that most web applications should embrace the same key principles of this hotel: high quality, minimalism, and easy to understand features.
I’ll certainly spend a night there when I visit Tokyo someday.

Gérald, you’ll be the first informed when I’ll plan a trip to Tokyo. Also, Mathieu has been telling me for more than a year that he is interested!

I sooo wanna go to Japan, and try those capsule hotels. Let’s just do it. When are we going?

It looks fine for me too… I just need a bed, a shower, coffee and Wifi.
Can’t wait to have the first one of its kind in Paris

Compared to normal capsule hotels, this is the super-duper luxurios version – definitely a must-stay when I next go to kyoto! greetings from tokyo, BCOME

I don’t really get how the shower might works but I definitively loves the idea!
