scouser 4 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Read this morning that the UK is going to get some capsules. http://travel.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,7445,1303075,00.html I've stayed in one just the one time. It wasn't really big enough for me, but I was pissed so I could sleep. Curious things. Link to post Share on other sites
ProbablyaCrazyPerson 2 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 They could do with a few of them in popular ski places. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Just as long as the bloke next to me doesnt continue pulling off or watching porn all night long... I like staying at em. Cheap and usually good locations after a long night of partying Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I stayed once for the laughs and just to say I had. I didn't enjoy the smell and the, ahem, noises coming from other capsules. But I can say I stayed there now. Link to post Share on other sites
Octavio Estrada 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 I've stayed in capsules quite a few times, and they have been ok each time. The trick is to be drunk, that'll get you to sleep no problems. Nice and cheap. Link to post Share on other sites
farquah 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Never been able to find any, where are the one`s in Tokyo? Link to post Share on other sites
maoriboy 0 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 yeah I wouldnt mind checking one out. Just how small are they? can you fit two people into one? Link to post Share on other sites
JellyBelly 1 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 How much do they charge? I've only ever seen one on tv. Link to post Share on other sites
frannyo 2 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 If they are really cheap (surely?), then they should have some near the slopes. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Cost? Depends on the "facilities". From a couple of thou. Link to post Share on other sites

slow 0 Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 My coworker told me capsule hotels in Nagoya were great. Much better than Tokyo. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 I wonder what the difference is? They're just boxes, right? Link to post Share on other sites
dale#1 1 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I sometimes stay at them, but I need to be drunk to be able to stay in one of them places - definitely the secret to staying there. Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 I stayed in one once, just for the experience. Bit of an anticlimax. Rabuho is much better for a better climax. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 I wonder if there are any lady capsule hotels? Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 女性でも泊まれるか？ ほとんどのカプセルは男性専用で、女性も宿泊 391;きるカプセルホテルは少数派です。女性が宿泊で きるカプセルではフロアーや設備を男性と分けて 356;るのですが、女性用フロアーの設備の充実度につ いては不明です（私が男なので）。カプセルホテ 523;の案内などに女性が宿泊可能と明記されていなけ れば男性専用と考えて良いでしょう。 I think the above says that there are some, but not many - mostly for men. http://homepage1.nifty.com/k-fukawa/capuseru/kapuserutop.htm Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted September 25, 2004 Share Posted September 25, 2004 I don't think I'd want to stay in one of those things. Yuck, no thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherLocklearRocks 1 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 I stayed in one on Saturday night, well Sunday morning (for about 6 hours). I was drunk and didnt have a problem with getting to sleep - I'm sure the huge quantities of beer had something to do with that. A bit smelly in the morning though. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 From Kagoshima to Hokkaido average price for a hotel is about 3000yen. If youre a member you can get it for about 2200-2500. Some of the newer capsule hotels are really nice, ac/heat controllers, nice sento baths, and separate smoking rooms. Many places also have separate floors/elevators for women as well. Nicest capsule hotels have been in Fukuoka and Sapporo. Link to post Share on other sites
happyhappy 0 Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 You are regular in these places YP? Seems like it. I wonder why there are none in ski resort areas. Link to post Share on other sites

xxx 2 Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I agree. Maybe. I wonder if people would want to trek up to the mountains with all their gear, and stay in a capsule. Don't think so. Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I certainly wouldn't be staying in something like at a ski resort. No way, that does not sound anything like fun to me. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 happy 2xs, Regular? Hmmm, dunno about that but I do enjoy traveling all over Japan. Id prefer to sleep at a love hotel but I dont always get that option Some capsule hotels are really nice and have great sentos!!! Awesome after bar/club hopping all night.
