How Do You Stay The Night In A Japanese Capsule Hotel?
Cheap accommodations are available in Japanese cities, in the form of capsule hotels, and they have saved many travelers from penury. Think of them as the most modern bunk beds in the world. Make a reservation, if you`re certain that you`ll be staying the night. Capsule hotels make much of their money on drop-ins–people who missed the last train home, for example–and can begin to fill up fairly quickly after midnight and especially on weekends. Take off your shoes upon entering. Most capsule hotels, like many Japanese homes, prohibit the wearing of shoes past the front door. Nearby, there should be a set of lockers in which you can store your shoes–and the key to this shoe locker will be exchanged for your capsule. Pay the fee, either at the front desk or at a nearby vending machine: it usually ranges anywhere from $30 to $50 a night. In exchange, you should be given a key (for a locker in which you can store your possessions) and a capsule number. Store your possessions in your locker
