Capsule Hotel.


So I thought at some point I should stay in a capsule hotel, you`d be forgiven if you thought the picture was from the Starship Enterprise.

So after meeting up with Jason and his girlfriend who own a bar called MyBar in Nagoya (looks very nice!) for some Tacos and a couple of beers I slept in the dodgy sounding"fuji sauna and capsule hotel".

These places are a pretty surreal, you get to sleep in something which can only be described as a white coffin.. its pretty comfy though also noisy. So once again thank god for the earplugs (cheers Jo).

Everything is provided, pyjamas, toothbrush (of course with paste already inpregnanted on to brush), shaving stuff, hair stuff... bath/shower costs extra though at a 1000 yen (about 5 pounds). The only problem was that the locker was about 5 inches wide and thus I couldnt get my board or backpack in ... left the board with reception and slept with my backpack in the capsule.

Anyway sleep was ok, woke up every 2 hrs and won`t be trying another one but it was worth the experience.
