I'm just here to convince you that capsule hotels are cheap and TOTALLY worth a try if you're trying to stay in central Tokyo while you travel. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

Toothbrush with built-in toothpaste, a Dyson hair dryer, smacked at the center of Shinjuku. Wow!!! Not bad for $30... Good option when travelling alone.

[@YvettesVibes]

I know ! I was surprised by the Hair dyer too!

[@skylinetouring]

Those curtains aren’t soundproof, it’s better if you voice over during editing or talk outside. There’s a mutual understanding amongst capsule users that the pods are quiet spaces.

[@Craftero]

That's what I was thinking. Did you really need to making popping sound effects with your lips and tap your nails against the walls, Hannah? Other than that small criticism, it was an interesting vid!

[@skylinetouring]

Kevin PowerUp I’ve stayed at my share of capsules and have had a few run-ins with vloggers filming late at night. It’s not fun when you’re trying to catch a few hours of sleep for that early morning flight and someone is “oh cool, this is amazing, blah blah blah”

[@TheLineCutter]

You know there are earplugs that can help reduces sound enormously. And considering that you can always run into people who snore you should bring those with you next time.

[@terraincognitagaming]

I want this woman to shout in my ears.

[@alexanderm8975]

sucks if you’re claustrophobic

[@asilentkoala]

I'm convinced.....that my $30 American dollars is definitely worth a capshule hotel. I'd spend the rest of the money I saved on delicious sushi.

[@nissanpacific9793]

A Silent Koala in America, a $30 hotel would be at a shitty hotel with meth heads and juggalos 👀

[@brisbanerugby]

@@nissanpacific9793 not so in Japan. Lots of young people and all were pretty respectful. Run by Koreans.

[@Ashertheawesome]

same. I'm only going to japan for 1 night so i think it will be perfect lol

[@ando1135]

it is, aside from my fiirst stay, i will be doing all capsule during my 2 week trip in february. and they have all kinds of capsule...standard like u see...and some bigger ones with tvs, desks, closets...etc. and a lot of these capsule hotels have their own public baths so u can take a nice dip too, even breakfast/dinner included too in some cases.

[@ando1135]

@uranfaggit there are all kinds of capsule hotel in japan! small, large, medium....all kinds.

[@jonnywaselectric]

Capsules are a great experience, I stayed in one with a sauna, cold pool and communal washroom. Capsules are only open from 4pm to 9am, they kick you out during the day for cleaning, if you are staying multiple nights you can leave your big bag in the locker but you can't come back until 4pm if you need something.

[@StMyles]

I don’t know why but no matter how many of these capsule hotels I see, it’s still interesting. I find through these videos that the smaller size room and increased multifunctions within the rooms, it may be cheaper. But persons area able to do greater things like read or study. But there is less sound insulation between the pods. If I was solo traveling I would enjoy just staying in the capsule to rest during my nights. Thanks for sharing Hannah. Aloha

[@skyblueiiii]

I'm impressed with your full tour. I'm cool with the concept now. Your video was so personal, I almost felt like playing cards with you before going to bed. Good job!

If my math isn't way off, you could live in a capsule hotel for 10.8k approx. a year. You'd also be saving money on amenities.

[@kevlarcardhouse252]

Stayed at one for a night in Osaka during my recent first trip to Japan. Didn't feel too claustrophobic, was surprisingly quiet, and also had some pretty nice amenities in the bathroom as well. It's basically just like staying in a hostel except more privacy. As an older traveller who sometimes likes to veg out instead of party at night, I don't think it would be something I would like to do the whole trip, but for a cheap place to crash for one night it went well and I slept great! The only other caveat is the narrow plastic ladder and then having to crawl into my higher "bunk" took enough concentration that I would not want to be a drunk Japanese businessman getting in and out of that thing.

[@OutMagic]

Heck yes this is awesome! I'm guessing you're from Australia because you mentioned Aussie currency? Woot I'm from Straya too, but it's great seeing such an amazing place to stay with all these extra benefits and not just a capsule so that's sick, definitely would want to try this when I go to Japan!

[@lm-pw9ul]

I've slept on a train so I shouldn't have any problem sleeping in a capsule hotel. It's cheap, clean and located in central Tokyo. I guess the only problem is privacy and maybe noise but there's still more privacy than backpackers or hostels

[@Holcee]

In Japan, I believe that they call hydrating toner 'lotion.' (it goes before emulsion but I'm sure it doesn't really matter).This is really great video!

[@CurrentlyHannah]

Yeah I wondered if that’s what it was! I was skeptical if it would moisturise considering it was clear gaha

[@beanoyip06]

I think I might feel claustrophobic..

[@z-mackdos6echo311]

The questions I have are...... 1, the time of year seems like the temperature is moderate so you don’t need a coat? 2, the temperature in the hotel seem comfortable? Was the air flow nice, it wasn’t stuffy? It seems like a train sleeping compartment. Not too claustrophobic? Were there outlets in the capsule for charging? Was there detergent for laundry? I’m assuming so since the restroom was fully stocked. I take it they supply the shower shoes aka bathroom foot wear? Was that a mirror in the compartment! It was wider and much more private than my sleeping compartment in the navy. If you had any questions who would you ask? You know the ins and outs of the lifestyle there, but not knowing specifics I know I’d have questions so as not to do anything unknowingly unacceptable. I really wish this information from your channel was available during my time in the navy when I was in Japan, it would have made it easier to travel around there and not have the issues I had.

[@taz_kempf]

What is the aircon, fan, heater setting in the pods like Hannah?

[@EVDubs]

It's actually quite alright. I recently was forced to spend a few extra days in Tokyo without my spouse and tried a few capsule hotels (they really are the cheapest options there). You will have noticed that there are no actual doors, or anything to shield you sound-wise from the outside, it's just a sort of blind that comes down. While that may be less good for quietness, it aids in ventilation. The individual capsules do not have any ventilation, but the "hotel" as a whole is very well climate controlled, and since you can't actually physically shut yourself in, the temperature in these capsules is actually perfect. Well, it was for me in the ones I stayed at... Hope this helps, even if it was a little long-winded.

[@EVDubs]

@@peek118 I didn't actually hear anyone snore. Don't know if that's because there actually was decent sound insulation, or just no one snoring. However, the ones I stayed at also provided ear plugs, if that sort of thing works for you

EV Dubs the cheapest option are hostels

[@EVDubs]

If you want any kind of privacy, pod "hotels" are the cheapest option. Maybe I should have made that distinction in my comment. They essentially are hostels, except everyone gets their own little private space.

[@urderieevlartcrossesboi5971]

This is definitely a superior version of a hostel

[@AndyAmsterdam22]

I like that it's just a pull down blind instead of a lockable door, because I would be too paranoid that my stay would become a horror movie called Capsule where I'm locked in and can't get out.

[@ButterySkater]

Its perfect if you go by your self

[@riy_f16m13]

[@SectionRatioTile]

Tried a cabin hotel in Kyoto and it was extremely hot once sealed (Also no AC), I didn't sleep at all. Might as well have been in a coffin with a hole for air. Tried a capsule hotel in Tokyo after and even with the AC on max I was roasting, 0 sleep. Maybe I just went to the shitter hotels but for anyone like me who finds it hard to get to sleep, I recommend looking for a similarly cheap airBNB or something like that instead
