      @@benghazi4216 Those hotels are plentiful in Japan. Look for 3 star tourist hotels like APA or Dormy Inn. Most are very clean, cheap, and you can get single bed rooms with an ensuite. The 3 star means that they usually lack restaurants etc, but they tend to be near train stations with hundreds of food places nearby.

      @@benghazi4216 For purpose built hotels it is generally pretty good room to room. The newer the build the better. The larger hotels may have a lot of corridor traffic and door noise when busy though. The cheaper rooms will have views of a concrete wall next door but you won’t get street noise. This option is more than a capsule, but still cheap for inner city hotels anywhere in the world. There are also 2 star hotels intended for businesspeople that are a bit cheaper and more spartan. You roll the dice whether rooms will be smoky in business hotels though, especially in smaller cities.

    I clicked on this video to look at the capsule hotel but I left feeling very nostalgic. I stayed in Kyoto for 6 years before I moved to the Tohoku region a few months ago. That sidewalk along Karasuma Gojo with the McDonald's, Yayoiken and Yoshinoya (and Coco Ichiban Curry is also there too!) brought back tons of memories as I spent quite a huge chunk of my life in Kyoto walking around that area. I chuckled when you got lost trying to find Yasaka Pagoda. I totally could relate as I am a photographer and that area around Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka were my favourite place to go for taking photos.

      From what I understand (and I could be wrong, as I am a lot when it comes to food), it's not that they clean their eggs well. It's more that the way they raise and farm their chickens results in eggs that have much less risk of salmonella from being consumed raw. If you raise your own chickens in a nice environment (and don't do it like the factory farms), then you should be able to eat their eggs raw too.

    It’s so amazing how affordable travel and meals can be in Japan! Breakfast for $4! That’s absolutely amazing! In the states you are hard pressed to find meals under $20 per person. Plus, it’s not a walkable place for the most part. Transportation infrastructure here is poor as well.

      @@meinakay It's not a myth. I was there a couple of years ago. People left their bikes outside the train station and not a single one was locked. I have never seen anything like it before. There are some thefts, but usually tourists. Some cultures are actually better at certain things. Japan is a homogeneous country. Something like 98% of the population are native Japanese. It is an ancient culture with very little dilution, unlike the US. That being said, it comes at a cost. They follow the rules, but they aren't exactly dancing in the streets with joy. Depression and social isolation are serious concerns.

    While I do not know how my family would deal with this, I would definitely use this for solo travel in the US. Safe secure clean and not a hundred and twenty a night. Locker room showers are fine with me. I lived in the dorms for 3 years in college. All restrooms were common areas. I will admit a toilet and sink inside the room and maybe a TV would be nice add on. Great idea for solo travelers. Bring them to the US. I think with a little tweeking many of us who have to stay overnight in a different city would really use this.

    My husband and I stayed at the Pocket Hotel near Nishiki Market when we went to Kyoto and it was nice! We did a split stay between it and a business hotel near Kyoto Station. I made the business hotel the second stop because I figured it would be harder for us to switch from a large room to a small one, but my husband actually liked the Pocket Hotel better because it was such a good value. I would recommend it to any couples or solo travelers who don't need a ton of space. There's more than enough to do in Japan, so hanging out in your room while awake just doesn't make a lot of sense anyway.
