1 hour to shower + 7 hours to sleep + 1 hour to rest = 9 hours

This Japanese capsule or budget hotel is truly different. Everything is at it simplest, white walls and clean floors with mostly black, white or grey interior colours. Pictogram can be found everywhere to ensure their customers knows what is where without worrying any language barrier.

From checking in to finding your assigned pod, the system is effortless. Everything is provided, from sleepwear to shower necessity to clean towels. Shower rooms are on the same floor but sleeping pods are on separate levels.

It’s great for people in transit and great for people who want to stay longer than 9 hours. They even allow guest to check in and use their facilities for 1 hour. They are currently available only in Japan at two locations, Kyoto and Narita Airport.

For more information and booking, visit 9 Hours website.
