'COFFIN LIKE' JAPANESE CAPSULE HOTEL

Capsule hotels are extremely popular in Japan and are sometimes known as coffin hotels due to the space available and the way the rooms are designed and stacked on top of each other.

They tend to remind me of an animal home where they keep abandoned cats and dogs, apart from there are no metal cage fronts.
Each room has a single bed and in general the basic amenities are a TV, electronic device and a wireless Internet connection. There is also a roller blind that can be put down for privacy.
You have to check in using a ticket vending machine and luggage is stored in a locker. With the lack of en-suite facilities the washrooms are communal. Some of these hotels have a restaurant in house and where not snack vending machines are available.

An electronic device housing an alarm clock, radio, light on/off switch, volume control knob and a panic button.

You could be in a room from 50-700 capsules and strangely the rooms are usually only offered to men for security reasons apparently. However sometimes they do offer this type of accommodation to women.
The type of people that stay in these hotels are those from a night out or people needing temporary accommodation for a month or so. As well as the occasional tourists too I'm sure.
This hotel pictured is called Asakusa in Tokyo. I think I would feel like I was in Prison if I stayed there. Would you try it out if you had the chance?
