Simple, neat, affordable but still full of necessary utilities is the advantage of "capsules" compared to conventional hotels and motels. Photo: Uniqhotel.

The hotel has a unique design with a bedroom as boxes are stacked continuously. Each room opens and closes with a separate door or curtain. There are hotels only for men, but there are some separate floors for men and women. Photo: Kotaku.

The concept of a capsule hotel was born in 1970 but in 1979, the first hotel opened in Osaka. This model quickly replicated in the central cities of Japan, especially in business or shopping districts. Photo: Uniqhotel.

At first the hotel was only for those who missed the train or were "too drunk" and could not go home. However, due to rising demand, the capsule hotel gradually expanded for more guests. Photo: Kotaku.

Although called a hotel, this is simply a regular bedroom with the most basic facilities, arranged on an area of ​​only about 2 square meters. Each room has the necessary equipment such as television, radio, personal storage and electrical outlets of all kinds. Photo: yesicanusechosticks.

The price of a capsule hotel is only half that of a normal hotel, at around 2,000 yen (400,000 VND) a night. In addition, the hotel for women also integrates more services such as spa, massage, skin and hair care ... The hotel also has a fast food vending machine and anti-theft camera operating 24/7.
