Amazing Capsule Hotel - Japan..!!

capsule hotel (カプセルホテル kapuseru hoteru) is a type of hotel in Japan with a large number of extremely small "rooms" (capsules).


The guest space is reduced in size to a modular plastic or fiberglass block roughly 2 m by 1 m by 1.25 m, providing room to sleep. Facilities range in entertainment offerings (most include a television, an electronic console, and wireless internet connection). These capsules are stacked side by side and two units top to bottom, with steps providing access to the second level rooms.
This style of hotel accommodation was developed in Japan and has not gained popularity outside of the country. Guests are asked not to smoke or eat in the capsules.
Capsule hotels vary widely in size, some having only fifty or so capsules and others over 700. Many are used primarily by men. There are also capsule hotels with separate male and female sleeping quarters. Clothes and shoes are sometimes exchanged for a yukata and slippers on entry.

Indeed its an economical cum leisurely confided place..!!
