食べ物とか旅行とか

東京在住 アラサー社会人の備忘録です。

If you want to travel Japan cheaper..

When I travel somewhere, the biggest problem is the hotels, where shall I stay? students like me prefer to stay at cheaper hostels and may choose dorm room. But! It cost over 20 British Pounds when I stayed at dorm room of Youth Hostel in London. upps! I run away from London after 3 days because it was obvious that my wallet will become empty in a few days.

It's easy to imagine that this kind of hostel problem will trouble you if you come to Japan. Ofcourse there are some Youth Hostels in whole Japan and they are very friendly and kind. But usualy they are in inconvenient areas. (There is International YH in Tokyo and this locates in central tokyo, cost you just 1 min to reach there from the station!) So if you need convenient and cheap bed in Tokyo and some places of Japan, I reccomend you to stay at Capsule Hotel. It's very unique and original style of stay for Japanese working men.

Capsule Hotel(sleeping module, tube hotel) is a kind of Hotel. There are an array of Cupsules to sleep on your both sides in Capsule Hotel. Some have over 600 capsules!! It cost about 2000-4000yen based on their location, confort and facility etc. Here in Capsule hotel, only the private space is just your capsule. In addition, locker, public bath and resting-space are available.

Even if you know some cheaper Japanese inn(Ryokan in Japanese), well worth trying to stay at Capsule Hotel once but most of Capsule Hotels are only for men. If you need more details, just google "Capsule Hotel" and will find some reports about it. Have a nice trip in Japan!
