Capsule hotel

I wanted to try it for quite some time, I finally did it in Tokyo! I spent 4 nights at a capsule hotel, mainly for budget reasons.
I think everybody has heard of it, but here's an explanation just in case: as the name says, in a capsule hotel you sleep in a capsule, that is a tiny box. Don't do it if you're claustrophobic! Here's a pic of the corridor:
Looks like a spaceship!...
Here's Florian just before he's gonna enter his presidential suite:
Close-up shot of the beast:
Inside, just a tiny TV, a radio and an alarm clock. However I slept well, and there was a nice Japanese style bathroom, so I could get a real good bath everynight.
To conclude, I'll just say that I wouldn't go to a capsule hotel for the pleasure, but it can really help. In 4 nights, I've almost exclusively seen salary men and backpackers, which is really representative of targeted customers.
