Good morning from Tokyo! Gosh, I've been waiting to say that forever.
This has been on my bucket list for years and I'm so, so thrilled to finally be here.
Last night we stayed in the Hyatt Regency, which is super bougee. It has chandeliers.
It has talking robots.
It has an incredible view.
And tonight we are staying in a capsule hotel! So, I'll be walking you guys through my capsule hotel experience.
We're staying in The Prime Pod in Ginza, so you know it's good.
Life's about balance: going from bougee to capsule.
We're on the 13th floor and we are so sweaty.
I'm too over-eager. Come on!
Once we got up to the 13th floor of the Prime Pod, there was this awesome lobby
and seating area. We checked in and they assigned us our capsules.
I was on the 11th floor and David was on the 12th floor because they separate men and women.
They gave us some slippers, which we're supposed to wear within the capsule hotel.
And a keycard to get into the dorm room.
Once I got into the girls dorm area, there was just dozens and dozens of capsules.
It was really cool to see and everyone was dead silent.
Everyone's very respectful and quiet in these dorms,
so you have to be very polite and quiet while you're in them.
My little dorm was 1135 and it was surprisingly spacious.
It had a comfy little comforter. I could spread out. I'm five foot five, so I felt pretty comfortable in the room.
I was enjoying myself. There was a TV. There was headphones. I was having a good time.
David's capsule looked almost exactly the same only it had a blue curtain rather than a red.
He was pretty comfortable too. David is almost six foot four,
so obviously he didn't have as much space as I did.
But, he seemed to be pretty happy in his little capsule.
In terms of legroom, I definitely had more legroom than David did.
His feet were touching the curtain, but David said he felt like he had enough space.
So if you're tall, capsule might still be for you.
In each room, they give you some pajamas, which I loved.
I thought they were cozy. They do this in a lot of Japanese hotels, which is awesome.
And they give you a toothbrush and some towels.
Within the little capsule, there's a storage area. Obviously, my backpack did not fit.
But, it fit tons of stuff. There's a little mirror to do your makeup or just to check on yourself.
There's also a small locker for valuables in the capsule, which is great.
David kept his wallet in there.
But, overall, capsule hotels in Japan are super safe, so you don't really have to worry about people stealing your stuff.
It's more of a precaution.
And there was a pretty sizable TV with headphones and I love Japanese TV so I loved falling asleep watching TV.
And a fire alarm because, you know, safety first.
Within the capsule, you could control the lighting, so when it's time for bed just turn off the light.
And you can control the fan, which was clutch because it was July during a heatwave, so I was blasting my fan.
I was on that end so from my little capsule I actually had a great view of Ginza, which was fabulous.
And within my capsule I was kind of on the top bunk,
so I had to climb some steps to get in, which wasn't too tricky.
I mean I got pretty used to it.
David got pretty used to his too. He's a little bit taller, so
he had to do extra squirming. He did say, as a tall person, this was definitely the hardest part for him:
fitting both his head and legs in when he climbed in.
They also give you a lock and a key for your bigger locker.
So you can tie your luggage up in the luggage room and you can put any valuable items in the bigger locker.
That's where I kept my backpack. They also had this great room with mirrors and sinks
For doing your makeup or getting ready for bed.
And they had some laundry machines there.
They also had a big restroom and don't worry no one was in here when I filmed.
But it was great. It had some more mirrors for getting ready or getting ready for bed.
And they of course had some amazing Japanese toilets. Japanese toilets are very impressive, They do a lot of things.
But they had a blatant button that said "flush here," so I understood what to do.
The shower room was great. You get your own private little stall.
There's an area to change and then the shower itself. They had tons of great products in there too.
They had shampoo, conditioner, body wash, so it was overall really super comfortable showering experience.
Very private and very clean.
Once it was time for bed, I put on the pajamas and got all cozy with my little comforter.
And I turned on some Japanese TV.
David got cozy too. He said he slept really really well.
Unfortunately, I woke up in the middle of the night and was really hot.
But, I opened my curtain and it actually made it a whole lot more comfortable.
David woke up fresh as a daisy. David got the free breakfast hot dog and the coffee.
I stuck with the coffee.
Good morning! We had our first night in the pod. What did you think of your pod experience?
Much more comfortable than I thought it would be.
Yeah, it was alright. It got really hot, but then I opened the curtain and let it all hang out and it was much more comfortable.
Overall, I really loved the capsule experience. It was so unique.
I've never stayed in anything like this before and I totally recommend it to anyone
who's going to be staying in Tokyo. It's it's a great experience.
It's very affordable! We stayed for two nights and it was around 31 US dollars a night.
To stay in the middle of Ginza for that price was fantastic.
Thanks for watching guys! I hope you enjoyed it!
I have tons of cool Japan videos coming out very soon.
