Japan Capsule Hotels! - Budget Solo Travel
I stayed at 3 different types of capsule hotels in Japan. A small, medium and large sized capsules. They were all clean, comfy and relatively cheap - Especially if you plan on traveling around Japan solo.

*The prices!!* Roughly $30, $80, $45 USD respectively for the ones I went to. But day of the week and location (Tokyo is expensive) are a big factor.
Were all 3 hotels in roughly the same location of Tokyo?
No. Specific locations are in the description. The second one was most expensive because it was in Shibuya. The others were in Osaka and Kyoto.
Wait so the first class units at Osaka were cheaper than the millennial ones at Shibuya? So first class units in Shibuya would be touching $150 easily.
For $45-$80 you can get decent to nice hotel rooms, even in Tokyo.
Thank you for sharing this. That was a really neat look at different capsule cabins. I liked 2 and 3. I'd have trouble in number 1. I'm 5'11.
My sisters and I stayed in a capsule hotel on our last day in Japan when we went there last year. We had come from visiting another town and will just be catching our flight home the next morning so we felt it unnecessary to shell out a lot of money when we just needed a place to sleep. Well, we also did want to experience a capsule hotel at least once. Definitely love the inexpensive price when you just need the basics. Loved seeing these three different ones.
I like the idea of capsules hotels. Seems very safe for a single traveler like me
I would freak out in the first capsule hotel.
nice video! 10/10 production and quality
The first hotel looked like your own personal hell.
Yes
🥰
Everything is just super clean, that’s what I love about Japan.
Eagerly awaiting your Japan travel videos!!!
Great Review!! Wish I could go to Japan one day! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
That looks nice and cozy.
So soothing!!
Pretty cool and informative.
I've always wanted to try one of these capsule hotels!
Wow! Amazing1 Japan is on my Bucking List.
this was super interesting!! I want to visit Japan one day.
Started following your channel 👍🏽 amazing videos! Got a lot of ideas from your home office designs. Very detailed and giving your viewers easy access on the items ❤️ Love the Japan vid . Please post more vids in the future ! - Mikey
Great comparison. Thank you.
David, I would love to see more footage of your time in Japan.
Literally stayed in the first one when I was in Osaka last month. It was actually pretty quiet and I slept well, although it helped that it matched up with jet lag getting the best of me so all I wanted to do was crash. As you said, it was nice but one night was enough.
you really deserve more subs and views ... good videos :)
I'd love to see your footage from around the city to experience more of what Japan is like. It doesn't all have to be about tech :-)
There's a channel called Abroad in Japan, think it might be what you're looking for.
@@lazartodorovic8138 I just watched one of their videos. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!
@@Spud_E_Buddy No problem!
The first capsule hotel is very nice even if it is small. The bed is comfortable, they give you free breakfast, it is very clean, cheap, and also well located just next to Dōtonbori sign !
Nice video!
I've always been a fan of small cosy spaces, so I feel like I'd actually especially really like the first two. I think my only complaint would be the curtain doors most of these have. Don't think I'd feel like I had any privacy without the ability to lock a door (and a solid one at that). Still would definitely give one of these a go just for the experience though.
First Cabin here I come
David Zhang, can you possibly outline how you planned your trip and what you chose to see? I think a lot of your fanbase would like to visit Japan one day, but because it is such a foreign land most of us are not sure of how to tackle planning for it. If you could, maybe in the coming weeks, upload a video detailing the process and what you chose to do, that would be a great help. Thanks :-)
Japan is the country that no one could hate, what a wonderful land, full of culture and technology at the same time
I usually waiting to watch your video
“The first one is the size of a coffin. Sounds like a great night slee
Interesting. The one thing I ran out of time to try when I visited. I always worried at 6’3” that my feet would hang out into the hall :-) Didn’t know about the larger room versions, those are cool.
I literally started panicking when he tried to stand up in the small capsule. Omg I would die
what's the other side of claustrophobic? bcause i kinda like the first capsule lol would be perfect with lots of blanket and pillows
1:53 I'm surprised you managed to find something on tv other than talk shows! Every time I turned it on - morning, noon or night it was always talk shows! And then some very rare anime (which was terrible). The larger capsule hotel seems somewhat suitable but I think I preferred my furnished 16sqm Ota (near Tokyo) Airbnb new apartment for ~$40 per night with my own bathroom/kitchen/laundry etc
Haha. That's sounds like what I would expect on the TV in Japan.
Jesus Christ, the blue light on that first rooms TV.
Thanks for sharing! How'd you find the facilities for restroom/showers etc.?
My favourite was Do-c Ebisu... just for the sauna present :P Otherwise, the small capsules are always a bit warm and stuffy, and the bedding is no better.
I stayed in Tokyo at hotel for 3 month and it was one of the smaller ones, I did not have any problem with feeling it to cramped, I got used to it quite fast.
So the biggest one is only $15 more than the smallest one? That's crazy!
Pyridius I think that's due to it's easy accessibility and the many guest these hotels have on a daily basis.
@@lordizzy666 the crazy thing is the motorized bed one being 80
@@lucamagnani5243 Damn !!!
Bruh my local hotel with 1 king size bed and 1 queen size cost 50 usd. Or less.
Bigger guy's beware - I was in Japan two years ago and because I'm 225 lbs, I found I had to make sure anyplace I stayed had an actual mattress rather than a 1" futon in some places that felt like I was basically sleeping on a blanket on the floor.
i stayed at the first class cabin in nagoya....i got the first class room which is what you showed. i liked the space but that bed was too firm for me....like sleeping on a wooden board...the japanese like their firm matresses. the capsule i stayed at in sapporo was an all male capsule and didnt have private showers, just communal baths so thats interesting lol...if thats an issue for some, you might want to check and make sure your capsule has private showering areas; most do but some dont, especially the men only capsules.
I missed your videos it's been a while.
Would you create one video about yourself? School or work, where do you live? I like the way you create a video, you are just being the narrator behind every scene.
everything is so fucking clean
Like your vid, daviid. :)
I can live in that for a few days. Solo traveler here.
So it seems i need to pay more for a decent amount of space in Japan, and will you be uploading any travel vlog in the coming days Zhang ?
miss ur videos bro uploaded a bit regularl
David, did all three have a lack of air flow or was it just the first one? Very interesting video.
Just the first one.
I been in The Millenials I will go again 10/10
Was language a problem for you? Please make more videos about that trip!
Welcome to japan! Where You go in OSAKA? Enjoyed?

どうもありがとうございます😘
@1:30 a spare phone??? that shit get jacked in 2 seconds here in the states
Ooooooo that third one. They give you PJs.. not a fan of no locks but I do know Japan's culture of returning lost items so...yeah. but still!!!! If your having a lady over you don't want some dude accidentally grabbing the wrong cabin
Whats your thoughts about the new IKEA JÄRVFJÄLLET :(
looks like a good chair im on the market for one
the last one was the best..look more like a bedroom than the other 2.. i would go for the last hotel.. not the $30-$45.. add them up $75
Great video. Unfortunately, i'm a fancy boy and require my own bathroom.
But none of them have doors that actually close. Why?
🥺😍🧸
your small ain't small, the one I've been was smaller than that. Yours was spacious in comparison.
Did you travel alone?
Ummm, David, that's is a iPod touch. LOL
how about the toilet?
Why no mention of prices? Even a range, I would have no idea how much any of those would cost.
Sorry forgot about that! About $30, $80, $45 for them.
@@HelloDavid Thanks!
i wouldn't save 30-40$ a day just to stay in a little box and share public bathrooms i went to a hotel that was only 70$ in the tokyo area stayed for 5 nights
How are the restrooms for each of these? Are they just regular public restrooms in the lobby, but with a shower etc?
No. The washrooms/lockers/showers are for Tennants only. Very clean. Private stalls for showers and toilets.
Altrenative title: Fallout tiny Vaults tested!
2:32 iPod touch??????
But where do you shower
*lmao that's a **_tight fit_*
I woudn't mind any of these if only they had a sound isolation door. Hearing the neighbours would totally kill the experience for me
Wow these hotels aren't really BIG IN JAPAN.......Get it?
"all of this is controlled with an iPhone" scans phone on rfid thing and the back reveals that its a fucking ipod 2:37
why you don't mention any price ?
Perfect asian. Haha
Second
How was it...I hope that you can visit Hawaii and go barefoot everywhere I go
I wouldn't be able to sleep in the smallest because of claustrofobia!
First
Ben Ivory who cares? Useless comment.
Can one fit 2 ladies with me.
Claustrophobic
my life sucks
The first one is just plain bad
