Capsule living

A capsule hotel comes close to what a laying battery is for chicken. Before entering the luggage needs to be locked outside. Don't even try to bring bulky suitecases.

Take your shoes off and lock them.

Know enough Japanese to pay your bill.

The sleeping nests.

Some capsule hotels come with a TV. It feels like being in a slow moving train that brings you back to where your journey begun.
