treading lightly on the landscape, the building cantilevers out 27 meters to a point 18 meters above the terrain below.

the micro-hotel room is enclosed by a tiny topography of stepping terraces.
the architects say that the building, and the activity that takes place within it, is meant to transform the way in which buildings are designed, engineered, and built.

more commentsThis is just a fresh look of the old Japanese cell hotel that exists….
i can’t wait to stay there.. it’s way better than YHA backpackers.. esp one time i had a bad experience.. staying with 7 other blokes.. in the middle of the night the other side of my bunk started to shake at 4am… i sat up and found the guy was masturbating.. This capsule will definitely be more private and more comfy.
I have stayed at this capsule hotel for two nights in 2010 and plan on it again this year 2013. It’s in a wonderful location within walking distance to Gion district too. It was Very comfortable and clean. People there were so polite. It’s really larger than you think. I feel it’s large enough for two to sleep side by side in comfort. Shoes are checked in at front desk and then you have slippers they provide, towels, robes and everything needed for showering. It saves lots of money too as all I do in a hotel is sleep as I’m sight seeing during the day. Luggage can be kept in a locker safely. If you haven’t tried one you should to experience the culture. Sleeping pods were quiet too. Didn’t hear anyone snore. You do check out for part of day for cleaning of pods.
It would be great if you will try to improve your hotel. It is nice but not that luxurious enough to catch the attention of the people to check-in in your hotel.
