The noise inside the internet cafe was soothing to me. I would have no problem sleeping with that as background noise.

[@socialiism3583]

I stayed in internet cafes for several nights while I was studying abroad in Japan. I would say its a great experience, on par with capsule hotels. Sure they don't have a bed for you, but they do have more amenities for free. And since I was a student, I got slightly discounted rates as well for my stays. You do need to have proof of Japanese residency though, so tourists generally can't use them.

[@codypriceYouTubeAddednumbers]

are you saying you can't get the student discount rate without proof of japanese residency or like you can't stay their if you are a tourist? Im just confused because you said tourist can't use them while talking about being a student studying abroad in japan which i think would already imply you have japanese residency.

[@socialiism3583]

You can't stay at internet cafes without a membership, and you need to have residency to get a membership. While in Japan as a student I got proof of residency since I was staying there 5-6 months.

oooof. In theory, this would be an interesting idea. In practice, i dunno man. I suppose the barrier of having to pay for a membership would hopefully be a deterrent to people who may take advantage of people in an unsecure area.

Speaking of the food it looked absolutely delicious, the only thing I would remotely be concerned with is the portions but the prices being as nice as they are means I could easily just order more to satisfaction. All in all this was an absolutely wonderful video and I loo forward to seeing more from you. This video alone has made me want to visit Japan someday so thanks again

[@Th3OmegaPoint]

I visited an internet cafe in Japan that had a low level table and padded floor to sit on, made lying down much more comfortable. It was also pretty dark and quiet at night.

[@insidiousfish]

17:56 It's crazy how ancient trees like this can be found within an hour from the city.

[@NANICU]

I tried an internet cafe in Tokyo for 3 hours after arriving in an overnight bus from Osaka, and I thought I could get some sleep. Even though I had a better room (fully enclosed, mat on the floor to lie down and the lights could be turned off. I still couldn't get much sleep. Another thing I would like to add is that towels, soap, shampoo and toothbrush are extras and after adding all the cost up, it may be better just to get a regular or capsule hotel room. An interesting concept though and it's these little weird stuff that you can find only in Japan is what I love so much about the country😊

[@englishatheart]

I think that's because internet/manga cafes are mostly for all night gamers/readers or people who do "other things," hence the tissues. 🤣

This would suit me for a few days. I carry noise cancelling earbuds everywhere, so no problem with the low key sounds....though I do get anxiety about possibly sleeping through a fire alarm. The amenities seem reasonable and the food palatable.

[@AmyC28713]

fire alarms are 120 db. ear plugs only dampen 30 dbs (both passive and active) - so all the background normal noises would be silenced but that fire alarm will still be 80 dbs....the loudness of a vacuum cleaner or car horn.

Noise cancelling headphones are essential for sleeping and not just in internet cafés either, hotels and camping or caravaning have similar issues. Nowadays a lot of people don’t care how much noise they make when going back to their rooms at night no matter what the time. They don’t even lower their voices, and talk really loudly as they walk past other people’s rooms, laughing and shrieking - they couldn’t care less about anyone else.
