Top World's Weirdest Hotels: Capsule Hotel. This particular Capsule Hotel is located near Kabukicho in the Shinjuku area of Tokyo, a red light district area. It allows only meale customers. It cost Y3,800 for the "room" and bath. It's on the 6th floor of a building and is called Big Lemon and it's open 24 hours.



A capsule hotel is a hotel system for countries with extremely dense populations. The rooms or ‘capsules’ are approximately 2 m x 1 m x 1,25 m providing just enough space to sleep. These capsules are stacked side by side and on top of each other, with steps providing access to the second level rooms. Luggage is stored outside in lockers. The capsules has either a curtain or a fibre-glass door to insure enough privacy. The washrooms are communal.




Interestingly, capsules are high-tech, each having a little control panel. There is an alarm clock, TV/Radio speaker, light and TV on/off switch, volume knob, and some panic button. Looks like a coffin hotel. Hehe!



This style of hotel accommodation was developed in Japan and has not gained popularity outside of the country, although Western variants with larger accommodations and often private baths are being developed.
