@@steverandall5814 A number of the larger ones like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City. Sometimes they are called pods or capsules. Though, they don't always mirror the cramped tube style that the ones shown here do.
@@DarkestDeeds Thanks for the tip. I found one in San Francisco (the closest city to where I live), but it looks like it's totally booked months in advance.
If you pick the more expensive ones they’re usually a lot larger with higher ceilings. I get claustrophobic as hell in anything from a cramped train to a small cubicle and was fine in one!
Emma Smith I am the same but I didn’t have any problems with the capsules but I thought some of the elevators and some of the floors where pretty bad. I had quite a few struggles with myself in Japan.
I actually kinda like the cramped areas, it gives me a sense of security. And also, with the more expensive ones, you get more space, so that's a plus. And sometimes the capsule hotels could be your only option
Personally as someone who wouldn't really be looking for the other features other than just a room I would definitely take the expensive capsule even over regular rooms at an equivalent price just because it looks so cozy
It seems like these things are not that hygienic only because of foreigners who don't know to wash first. I'm also starting to get the idea that the capsules would be quiet for sleeping as long as there aren't vloggers around, lol.
BOBBY! Awesome video and the ad didn't even feel like one! Definitely going to stay in one of these capsules for my next trip and just downloaded your recommendation and going to listen before my trip to Japan!!! Keep on making top content and thanks for the great recommendation

@@LivingBobby Ehh doesn't matter. They are clearly loose of fire safety codes. God forbid a fire breaks out in one of those places its gonna go up quick.
The other "capsule" hotel was closer to a cabin hotel. It's a more private space and has more room. But then again, at the same price(~$60), you could just rent a regular hotel room.
I actually stayed at the same expensive capsule hotel a couple of weeks ago. Being 1.92 meter, I really had my doubts about staying at one, and I didn't particulary enjoyed the idea of sharing bathrooms and showers. But I have to admit, this one blew me in terms of facilities and just how clean and organised everything looked. And I fit in the bed! I ended up staying only one night, but I probably wouldn't have minded it if I had stayed a few nights longer, it really suprised me.
bobby: i honestly thought it was a hot tub but it was a cold bath me:ok- bobby:the first thing im thinking sitting in this hot tub is- me: wait what- i thought it was a cold tub-
as someone who hopped from one capsule to another for 7 days. cheap is always to go, its basically a place to put your bag and sleep while you explore the city/town. the onsen is just an added feature. the one in Sapporo that i stayed in had no onsen in the place but gave you a voucher to use an affiliated giant capsule/spa. that spa had 2 massive warm bath, 1 small one and 1 big icy bath. it also had 2 sauna rooms, one is set at boiling temperature...which had a challenge which i sort of joined in. i lasted for 10 mins before my brain said nope.
I actually stayed in the cheap capsule hotel in the vid in 2014. Was great value for money. I didn't use any of the facilities though. I only slept there, as I was out exploring most days. Showering with their showers was awkward but I got used to it. I had to turn the handle several times throughout a shower because the water would keep stopping.

He should have a translator with him or try to learn the language its awkward for everyone when you just speak stright English expecting them to understand
its just because english is a pretty worldy known language, i do agree he shouldve atleast attempted to use some kind of app instead of expecting him to know english but alot of residents in tokyo/seoul know basic english
Nobby Heads Well... me personally when I went to Korea i learned basic korean and atleast always had my translator available on my phone, also its very very obvious when a non english person is talking about you so dont think you are hiding it well, even more so for russians/europeans
Great content bro! I find that I have traveled quite extensively using hostels and your info on the cheap to boutique capsules in Japan is awesome. I would choose the cheap capsule from your video and spend my money in the outside world keep on trekking dude. -Lance
I am looking at traveling to Tokyo in the coming months, however I have a question about the storage situation. I saw the little mini lockers, but what if you are bringing a suitcase with ya.... is there like a separate holding area for bulk stuff? Or is it just best not to try with larger luggage?
I've done a fair bit of travelling and stated in hostels...these capsule bed would be so much better because you have your space and don't have to worry about waking people up and can keep your light on to read and stuff
Nesiko Tomoe That means that the expensive capsule hotel is overpriced. Its supposed to be cheaper than normal priced hotels because you have VERY limited space
As someone who stayed in the Tokyo Hilton at a higher level suite (since I travel for work and got a ton of points), it's pretty good. But it doesn't have quite as many Japanese inspired touches (outside of the premium buffet which includes fresh squeezed OJ), you won't get a bathtub unless you get an upgrade, and there are other options too. APA International is ~$80 a night, you'll get a clean compact room like the capsule, but it's also located in popular areas with a short walking distance. Which is the most important thing, IMHO, of a hotel.
You cant find a real big onsen in Tokyo's capsule hotel. This means there is a volcano below you while you're sleeping. LOL You have to go to rural area to find the onsen in your picture.
To be fair, one of the hotels I've stayed in (Onsen Ryokan Yuen Shinjuku) claims to get its bathwater from Hakone. :'D Definitely not in a 20$ capsule hotel though...
You are literally living all of my dreams lmaoooo but i will deffff get the more expensive capsule hotel, looks much more cozy and more private. I can honestly see myself hanging out in the capsule all day, watching movies or getting work done
I prefer the $60 room, not a fan of how the $20 room is designed it being smaller is fine but it looks super dated and I prefer showers over baths. But, the free breakfast is also a nice touch for the $20 room.
Been to Japan 4 times and I’m a big fan of capsules my self! Stayed in a ninehours in Osaka and a place called The Millennials in Kyoto which is a different take on a capsule (not to mention free draft beer for a bit in the evening) Both right there in great locations which I found to be the trend for a lot of capsules. Would def recommend for those traveling on a budget or looking to do something different.
Hello, just want to ask, how far nine hours hostel to train station ? Is it walkable ? I ever stayed at boothnet - kabukicho, ueno hostel, and wanna try nine hours for my next Japan trip
Okay but let's just agree that 60 bucks a night in the middle of a massive city is still unheard of.
I stayed in a hostel that was 66 a night it was in London as well there is another that is like 14 a night
In America 60 a night is unheard of.
