Creator's voice
A capsule hotel in Tokyo, one stop away from Shinjuku. The creator's friend Natsuki found it like a "doghouse," but the creator personally sleeps better in capsule hotels than hostel dorms due to their coziness and quieter atmosphere. Expect to pay around 25,000 Yen per week for a good capsule hotel in Tokyo.
