One of our bucket list items in Japan was to spend a night in a capsule hotel.
So before leaving Tokyo we booked a night at 9 hours.
A futuristic capsule hotel that pretty much looks like a spaceship.
This pod hotel is located by Shin-Okubo station right in the heart of Korea Town and in this
video we're going to share the whole experience with you guys.
So we are just waiting for the elevator now.
The reception is surprisingly on the 8th floor not the first.
The eight.
Exactly.
So up we go.
The check-in process was simple and straight forward.
We were each given a card with a qr code which would act as our key for the duration of our
stay.
We checked out the views of our neighborhood and also learned that the capsules for men
and women are on separate floors.
Okay.
So this is the part where Sam and I have to go our separate ways.
Yep.
Different floors.
Different floors for men and women.
So I'm on the 6th floor and I'm on the 4th.
And yeah I guess we'll each take our own camera and show you are own experience.
Indeed.
And we'll meet back here in a bit.
I went up to the 6th floor to find my locker and store my belongings.
All of the lockers have an overnight kit to make each guest stay at the capsule hotel
a little more comfortable.
A look inside the bag coming up soon.
I also discovered that my suitcase was a little too plump for my locker so some pushing and
prodding ensued.
So yeah I was able to finally squeeze in the main suitcase.
I feel like these lockers aren't designed for square rectangular bags.
And inside I had this little bag already waiting for me.
It looks like we have a towel, some slippers and PJs.
So we're going to take a closer look and see what we actually got in this bag.
It looks like we have slippers with the 9 hours logo.
We have a towel.
We've got some pajamas to put on.
This is going to be fun.
And what else is there?
What else is there?
Oh okay toothpaste.
Toothbrush.
All set.
That is our kit for spending the night at a capsule hotel.
So yeah let's actually go check out my capsule.
So before going into the dorm with all of the capsules we have to take off our shoes
and put on slippers.
So I'm all set.
The Spaceship.
Even though it was the middle of the afternoon I was ready to explore my pod.
First up a little stretch test to see just how much space there is in one of these capsules.
Stretch Test.
Not bad.
Not bad.
I definitely didn't feel claustrophobic in there so that is a good start.
So here is the guy's elevator.
In we go.
So on the 4th floor.
Fourth floor I go.
This is going to be such an experience.
Time to scan in.
So I'm just given this card and apparently I just swipe it like this.
See if it works.
Open sesame.
Open sesame.
Wow.
And inside here guys I've got some kind of care package which I'll show you fully in
a bit.
I have hangers.
I have storage space down here for my bag.
And I have a spot for my shoes.
Up here.
Guys I'm not sure if my bag is going to fit.
I've tried once but couldn't quite get it in there.
So I'll try to unpack a bit and see if I can jam it in.
I had to put it in upside down.
Wow.
It is time for me to get out of this and into official capsule hotel wardrobe.
So apparently I go to the 7th floor to change.
Bathroom Tour.
And here is the shower room.
Let's check it out.
Oh wow.
Look at that.
So a quick tour in here guys.
My care pack of course.
I've got my tripod which I hope to get some shots from.
My slippers which I've yet to put on.
My gear.
Hahaha.
My hotel capsule gear and last but not least the shower.
Showerhead.
Oh check that out different kinds of soaps and shampoos.
That is pretty cool conditioner.
Another conditioner.
That is a shampoo.
And to adjust the water pressure and heat.
Let's get changed.
Snap.
Check it out a little short in the arms and on the legs.
Look at that.
Haha.
Argh.
It'll do though.
It'll do.
Time to check out the sleep pod.
Shhhh.
So here is my pod 436.
Woah.
Look at that.
So before I go in I'm going to give you a walking tour.
Look at this.
These are the different room numbers and you have lower level and upper level.
This is crazy.
Check out this guys.
Stretch Test 2.0.
Alright guys so we are all checked in to the capsule hotel.
We've had a snoop around.
Um but it is like whisper quiet.
Yes.
I almost feel like we can't even speak.
Basically everywhere there is signs to be quiet.
Yeah.
So we're in Koreatown we've decided to go out for Korean food for dinner.
Yes.
So yeah we're going to tell you a bit more about what we've seen and experienced over
there.
Wow.
Two kinds of cheeses guys.
Well it looks like we are ready to eat.
We sure are.
We ordered the exact same dish we had last time we were in Korea Town.
Yep.
Because it is so good.
So we're having Cheese Deok Galbi.That seems to be the Korean specialty in this neighborhood.
Yeah.
Featured at most restaurants.
So yeah it is basically like a spicy chicken with lots of ooey gooey melted cheese and
rice cakes.
And some veggies.
We have two kinds of melted cheese here.
We've got mozzarella and cheddar.
Show us how big that cheese stretches.
Look at that.
Look at that.
Yes.
But anyways this is not going to be a food video today.
We actually want to talk about the capsule hotel where we are staying.
Yeah.
And share some of our impressions so far.
So yeah first things first.
It is so quiet and there is already people sleeping in there in the middle of the afternoon.
Yep.
Like we checked in at one o'clock.
Yeah.
And I went straight to my little capsule and some of the doors were already closed.
Like people were in there.
So my first impressions were when I stepped into the sleeping quarters the actual capsule
area I felt like I was on a rocketship.
A futuristic rocketship.
Like those were the sleeping quarters on my spaceship.
And the other thing that really surprised me too was I thought that the actual capsules
would be smaller than what they were.
Like I fit in fairly well.
Yeah.
And I could sit up and like you know kind of move around a little bit.
Put my arms out like this.
And so that really surprised me.
I thought it was going to be bit more like a coffin.
Oh my gosh.
Do you know what I mean.
Sounds horrible.
Yeah but so it was a bit more spacious than I thought.
Yeah.
I have no idea what it is going to be like to sleep there overnight.
If it is going to be noisy or quiet or what.
And the other thing that I wanted to mention as well is that I've seen a few capsule hotels
that have a lot of amenities in the capsule itself.
Yeah.
Kind of like TVs, radio, headphones.
Yeah kind of like a sauna and a spa area as well.
Bathing areas.
Yeah like some of them have fancy spas.
I'm being a little loud in this restaurant aren't I?
Um but anyways this one is quite basic.
So you basically just have like a little shelf where you can rest your phone.
And they have a USB port where you can charge your phone.
Yep.
But aside from that there isn't a whole lot inside the capsule-like you have your duvet,
you have your pillow.
Yep.
And that is about it.
But it seems comfy enough.
I can stretch out.
So yeah the test will be how well do we sleep tonight but I'm excited.
I'm looking forward to it.
Okay so we are back at the capsule hotel.
Yep.
Once again my plan is to actually crawl into the pajamas they gave us and maybe do a bit
of work on my computer.
I'm crawling into the pajamas and I'm going to take a nap.
Alright.
I got up at 5am to feed cats this morning so I'm pretty tired.
Sam has been feeding stray cats.
Local stray cat feeder.
The Lounge.
After dinner we went back to the 8th floor which aside from the reception also holds
a lounge area.
This is a communal area with seating space, a big shared table and individual workstations
where you can plug-in and charge your electronics.
We spent a bit of time here until it was time to go to bed on our separate floors.
It is now finally time for bed.
Goodnight.
I went to the 6th floor.
Sam went to the 4th.
And by the looks of it someone was still pretty amazed by the size of their capsule.
ZZZ.
Good Morning.
What the?
Woah.
So if this place wasn't cool enough they have a toilet that greats you.
As far as the experience of staying in the capsule hotel here in Tokyo, Japan has even
exceeded my expectations.
It has just been it has been surreal really.
The showers were also pretty nice.
They had individual stalls complete with body wash, shampoo and hair conditioner so you
didn't have to worry about pulling out your toiletries.
And there were also enough stalls that you didn't even have to think about standing in
line waiting for a shower to free up.
And this is where you dispose of your slippers when your stay is over.
And other garbage too.
Checking out.
It is time to check out and why yes we are wearing the same clothes we had on yesterday
because it is going to be a sweaty travel day.
Yep.
Let's go down.
And just like that our stay at the Nine Hours Tokyo Capsule Hotel was over.
Okay so it is time for final thoughts on our first and only capsule hotel experience.
Yeah.
What did you think?
How was your night?
Yeah because we were sleeping in different areas.
I had a great sleep.
I went to be about 11 pm woke up at five and I slept continuously.
I do have to say when I woke up I was noticing sounds.
Snoring.
What kind of sounds?
Snoring.
Farting.
Some gas.
Some farting.
A little bit of coughing.
And so yeah it kind of has that dorm kind of atmosphere.
It does.
Yes.
So there wasn't any coughing or farting on my dorm but like there were lots of girls
on their phones right before going to bed.
So like you could hear them chatting in different languages.
You know like goodnight blah blah blah.
So yeah it did take me a while to fall asleep just because when everyone is getting settled
into their bunks it kind of like makes yours shift and shake a little.
Um and you hear all of the sounds.
Argh but yeah I did sleep well.
I slept all the way through until seven thirty in the morning when Sam texted me like where
are you?
I was up much earlier than you.
Overall I would recommend staying in a capsule hotel but I think just for one night.
Yes.
I don't think you'd want to be in there for multiple nights.
I would agree.
I would want to experience it once here in Japan but I don't need to sleep in a capsule
for a week or a month.
No.
Like no way.
Yeah, exactly.
Book a hotel or an apartment or something else.
Yep.
So yeah that is it for now we'll see you guys in the next video.
Bye.
Bye.
