There is a reason why these capsule rooms don't have doors with locks. These capsule rooms aren't "rooms", legally speaking. The whole place is technically categorised as "basic hotel with multiple bunk beds", so each capsule is considered a bed. Same as barracks etc. Because of the Japanese hotel business law, each hotel "room" will have to meet the standards set by regulations defining minimum size (volume), emergency equipment, washroom etc individually. By not having clearly partitioning doors with locks, these capsule hotels can operate with these basic and compact rooms at cheap prices, without meeting hotel regulations (at individual levels). Of course, the whole floor would have every safety and sanitary features required for hotels.
This room-ish capsule hotel appears WAY better than a noisy & hot regular capsule in most all other capsule hotels. Wow. I have seen similar on UA-cam but the price was $49 per night, not $18 per night like in this video of this particular capsule hotel.
No wonder so many are popping up So the ppl who open their own capsule/Internet cafe do so without needing the background as a full fledged hotel experience Hilton, Millennium, etc? Great quik Ed Thanx
Well, I imagine there could be a flimsy sliding door with no lock (like in some internet cafes), but so that a creative guest could use the door's features ("features not intended for that purpose") and his own small wire padlock to make it impossible to open the door from the outside without a lot of force and without making a lot of noise. Add a small locked cupboard (effectively a locker for bags) and I'd say that would be perfect even for a few days' stay! Though I suspect it's not allowed anyway, since they're not offering it...
お早うございます！！！ 日本人の皆さん、お元気ですか？？？ 私はあなたが投稿したビデオを見ました。 「いいね」ボタンを押しました。 私はこの場所を知ることが大好きで、この列車の旅が大好きでした。 日本人の友人、あなたの国からこのビデオを公開してくれてありがとうございます。 素敵な一週間をお過ごしください。 Sergio São Paulo Brasil
I really like the way these videos are done, without showing the videographer at all. It makes it so much easier to put yourself in his place and feel as if you are the tourist.
I lived in Iwaki City for 3 years! It's also known as "Hula City" for its famed Spa Resort Hawaiians and post offices where all the employees wear Hawaiian-themed shirts. The people are very genuine, and it's a mostly rural area in Fukushima. It's about an hour from the Daiichi Power Plant, so many people who lost their homes in the 2011 disaster had to relocate here. A very charming city that's at least worth visiting once while in Japan.
Thank you for uploading the video. Iwaki is my hometow which is famous for Spa Resort Hawaiians, a waterpark with hot springs. The venue of breakfast is named after this. Another thing I like is the hot pot. I miss it so much. Year it has small bones but still delicious. Iwaki is also famous for golf courses, one of which is Ocean Onaham Hotel. Nice location and nice food and a big bath. There are so much more.
I'm like you. I can't believe this luxury hotel for such a low price.😲 The only thing I didn't like about it was that you can't lock your room. Everything else looked amazing!
Hello there ! i do really love your videos i just started to watch them about a month ago and it made me look up to go to Japan i do live in USA and every one day Japan is expensive but thanks to your videos we know can be affordable and we can go with a good budget ! love it and thank you
What amazing is that how management and staffs keep these rooms so organized and cleaned, needless to say the guests are respectful and best manners, civilized. Only in Japan 🇯🇵
Belgian here, never seen that brand before in my life xD It's probably one of those "export only" kind of brands, however the cookie itself is very famous, a cornerstone of our culture. It's great for dipping in coffee!
I live in America in State of Florida. 🇺🇸 こんにちは I love watching your videos … you do an excellent job of showing all details. Your videos are very helpful for someone visiting Japan. ありがとうございます
Love your videos! Particularly the additional food and other information. You would make a very good travel guide! I plan to visit Japan in a few years, you convinced me :)
hello from belgium,amazing that you find a belgian biscuit. in bruxelles,you can find those also With à side with chocolate or almond.very delicius! Nice day
What an amazing hotel! I don’t think the cabin could have been any better, it had everything! I’ve often seen people complain about some capsules being extremely hot with no ventilation, but this had air, and it felt like a little hide-out ☺️. Also, I just love how tasteful, simple and elegant Japanese design is. Even when futuristic there is always that warmth from the use of wood and light. Anyway, thank you again for another beautiful video! ❤️
I really like your videos. It's great the way you show us some of the local foods, and that you sometimes take the slower trains so we can see the countryside instead of just a blur.
Another great video !!!😊 All the trains in Japan look brand new ! The technology far exceeds ours in style and condition. I wish America would invest in railroads over here. It would be nice to be able to travel coast to coast uninterrupted. Your trains are always so clean ….not even fingerprints on windows. At rooms are spotless too ! We are so sloppy over here !😂
Hello from New Mexico, USA! One of our license plates is on the wall in the restaurant you had breakfast in! We have three designs we can choose from and the hot air balloon is very popular. It's fun to try and figure out what custom plates "say" haha! Great video!
I am a belgian viewer and to answer your question, I do not know the name of the cookie but once opened I recognised it, we call them SPÉCULOOS, it is ginger cookies and I do love them too. As for the hotel, it looks like you were almost alone and I must admit I would be totally unable to sleep in such a confined room, moreover, what about your valuables ? As far as the ''western'' breakfast is concerned, the Cesar salad surprised me, I travelled in many western countries and never had it for breakfast! Don't take me wrong, I love Japan and I watch all your videos, this one was simply different. Thank you and take care.
Thanks for showing about suica card. My friend and I will be traveling to Japan in a few months time, and I am the one preparing for our itineraries and stuff that we need.
If I had more time in Japan, I would visit these more provincial towns and cities. I´m going to Japan for the first time ever next winter. Osaka and Tokyo are given. Then I´m going to Hokkaido for a week. I love how well connected Japan seems to be with public transportation. I would probably like to stay at that capsule hotel just for comfort and keeping costs down.
with no 24 hour staffing the rates can be less than a fully staffed hotel. A LOT of money goes into paying auditors, front desk, maintenance, housekeeping, internal dining/kitchen, concierge etc... so minimize the amount of staff and you can charge a lot less for the rooms.
Hello and greetings from Poland 🇵🇱 I really appreciate and like your videos❤ they show the surrounding , different areas of Japan, I always ❤️❤️❤️ feel like travelling 🧳 with you especially in the subways , trains 🚆 and walking 🚶♀️ through busy districts! Thank you 🙏 Dziękuję ❤
@@magdalenakordys5543do you mean service dog or pet dog? Most Japanese hotels don’t accept pets. You will have to book the more expensive ones that do.
These videos feel like a little vacation! And I love the Belgium cookies too. Do you know there is a sandwich spread made of them? It's like peanut butter but then with the incredible Speculoos taste. Yum!
If UA-cam was possible on that TV, you should have turned it to this channel. 😊😇 Also...Pocari Sweat is still available? Amazing...it was available when I lived in Tokyo in 1989-90. :)
Beautiful country. beautiful people. Their ingenuity in using every available square inch of real estate is absolutely amazing. I could do without the bones in the fish dish though.
As an American, one of the things that never ceases to amaze me about Japan is how reliable its public transportation is. Seeing so many students taking the train to school at the end of the video just really made it sink in for me. I’ve heard that many working people there don’t even have cars, simply because they’d never have a need to use them, since public transportation is available pretty much everywhere all the time. If I didn’t have a car here in the States, I’d be screwed. There’s no way I’d be able to work. The United States has a lot of catching up to do in that department.
Great video, thank you! Is there any chance you might do a local trains video? The views looked amazing and I don't think I am the only person curious about how to travel that way. Thanks again for all of your hard work.
I love that hotel - it seems so laid back and comfy. No one to bother you and everything you need at your fingertips. US number-plates baffle me, but here in the UK we have (IF you can afford them) personalised number plates. A few of my favourites that I have seen on the roads are K9 MUD, A850LUT ( ABSOLUT the vodka) and U9980OTS (Ugg boots)
Each state regulates their own plates so think of each state as its own little country. I know what you mean though, here in AZ we have so many different plates its kind of stupid.
I’ve seen a woman drive a white flashyBMW convertible with the plate M1NGE, and the best one was a Ferrari with PEN15. I nearly crashed my car when I saw the second one lol
Oh so wish we had these in Europe, what a brilliant concept and so well priced -could have fainted when you told us you got breakfast in at that price! Thanks for the video😊
Paráda slušné ceny na to že je to v Japonsku . Skoro bych tam dal i 14 dní dovolenou . Ty jídla máte pěkné , ale já bych stejně dal přednost České kuchyni a klasickému guláši se šesti knedlíky . Nebo vepřové se zelím a knedlíkem.

The location of the street camera is "Shinjuku, Tokyo"! More specifically, the square in front of Seibu-Shinjuku Station in Kabukicho area.
I’m actually watching this cam sometimes. It’s on UA-cam as well😃
I’ve been to Shinjuku a couple times and I couldn’t identify that 😂
That was easy ... 😉
Dang....i said rock as well 🤣Retry?🤔

NICE!!! SUPER value for money !!!
綺麗でカッコよくて機能的で素晴らしい。いわきに行く機会があればぜひ泊まってみたい
安い！安すぎる！しかもSuicaでチェックインと支払い出来るの便利ですね。カードキーの受け渡しなんかをせずにお部屋に直行出来るのは非常にいい。一般的なカプセルホテルと違い一部屋ずつ机とミニ冷蔵庫ついてるのも良いですね。朝食も美味しそうでした。
Very nice capsule hotel and the food there looks good!👍

I really liked that capsule hotel. The room was private and very good value. The amenities were so clean too.
Simply incredible !!!
What amazing is that how management and staffs keep these rooms so organized and cleaned, needless to say the guests are respectful and best manners, civilized. Only in Japan 🇯🇵

I agree! But capsul without door? ... best regards from Austria
Only possible in Japan. In Europe, you would be robbed or worse by some religious weirdo by morning.
@@h.h2610right? Like i need a door that locks

I really enjoy your videos. They are very soothing and gentle - the perfect way to unwind :)
Nice. If camera is flickering you just need to change shutter speed to match the lightings frequency
Another great video !!!😊 All the trains in Japan look brand new ! The technology far exceeds ours in style and condition. I wish America would invest in railroads over here. It would be nice to be able to travel coast to coast uninterrupted. Your trains are always so clean ….not even fingerprints on windows. At rooms are spotless too ! We are so sloppy over here !😂
Somebody please tell this girl that Japan is shockingly low tech and it's probably unmanned coz it's located in Fukushima! ;) ☢️

If you make a Suica at the airport, it will have a sakura pattern.

シャワーブレイク業務用１０リットル箱買いしてます、洗顔にも利用して、2人家族で7〜8ヶ月使えます😊コスパは良いですが、保管に場所をとりますね😅Amazonだと送料かかるので、楽天かヤフーで買ってます。
This capsule hotel offers great value for money and is excellent！😇
What a fun way for me to be able to share in your culture. Thank you
ホテルの一階に、天丼のおいしい店あったのですよ（笑）鍋もおいしそうでしたが（笑）昔は、駅ビルで半田屋とかあったの覚えてます。

How do,these places survive when they are practically empty?
OMG THE SHOWER IS SO COOL 🙀
Thank you for the information. I so want to book there for when I come to Japan next year 2024.

This was a fun trip, as are all your adventures! I like the hotel.
Very elegant and efficient hotel. These videos are ASMR for travellers.
I find it amazing they say unmanned yet who cleans up and restocks the free snacks and stuff?
この朝食内容なら絶対￥1000プラスして食べたいですね！
Question I saw the bed was on the bottom capsule like. Does that mean other rooms would have same layout but the bed would be on top?
Nice ❤
