A “capsule hotel” is reasonably priced, starting at around thirty dollars and a uniquely Japanese answer to overnight accommodations. The bed, in the shape of a space-age capsule, is about one metre in height, two metres in length, and one metre in width. It is your private space. The hotels usually offer sauna and public bath facilities and sometimes other amenities. It is becoming common in Japan, especially for a hard-working “salarymen” who missed the last train home to seek a night’s rest at one such hotel.
