Japan Trip – Capsule Hotel

Is there anything more uniquely Japanese than a capsule hotel?
I asked myself that question last week as I wondered how I was going to be able to get into Tokyo by 5AM to get to the Tuna auctions at Tsukiji fish market. Like many Japanese business men who needed a place to crash – in order to rise early – I had become the Capsule Hotel’s target market.
4,000 yen (40 USD) later, I was booked into Akihabara’s Capsule Hotel for the night. I’m not sure I’ll experience this again in a hurry but the night there meant I ended up with some photographs that I know I’ll revisit again, and again whenever I want to remember just one of the aspects that make Japan… well… Japanese.






omg dude, this looks so cool. wish i can go stay in one of these.
This reminds me of something I've seen in The Fifth Element.
Hope you're having fun in Japan! Btw, did you receive my reply to your email?
Which now makes you part Japanese for having experienced it! (O: Have always heard about it, but have never met anyone-non-Japanese who's had the experience like you did. Very interesting photos indeed.
