  • I stayed in a high tech Capsule hotel for 1 night at Kyoto, Japan. This is a good way to travel cheap around Kyoto and for those who want to experience a hint of Japanese ingenuity.
    Fee: 2,000JPY / 18USD (prices may alter)
    Location: The Millennials Kyoto
    Room: Smart Pod
    Experience: Very spacious with lots of complimentary items.

    (edit note)
    The ALL-YOU-CAN-DRINK-BEER is back, due to the state‐of‐emergency declaration being lifted nationwide!
    However 26USD is the cheapest that I can find now!
    Please keep checking the hotel booking sites for updates!!

    Stayed at this place a few years ago, it was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. I didn't want to get a huge hotel room when I only wanted to have somewhere to sleep. And it's pretty close to everything, great place to stay at if you want to explore the city.

    Watching these makes me feel like a trip to Japan could actually be affordable for me. I haven stayed in hostels before so the whole "shared" experience doesn't bother me, and this is even cheaper and nicer than those.

      Dunno if you've gone yet, but I went to Kyoto last summer for ~6 weeks as part of a study abroad, and its pretty cheap (compared to the US at least). Especially due to the current exchange rate. You can easily find capsule hotels for $20-40 a night, along with pretty cheap food from places like ichiran and nakau, i think it's possible to survive in kyoto on only $1000 USD for a month, though I would recommend doing something like $1k per week so you can splurge.

    We love the historic & cultural heart of Japan - Kyoto. Love the traditional ryokans but this capsule hotel is wonderful - so clean, still private & at this price - unbeatable value!!! Especially for those visitors who want to spendmore time just soaking up the atmosphere in Kyoto. Thank you for sharing this gem with us on youtube.

      I only find it funny because you can't find public toliets with any of those features here. Like maybe in a high end hotel room here in the Rust belt? What he calls a B tier would be the top of the line at home Depot for close to $1,000+

    I love this and wish we had this accommodation option. I love solo travel but hotels soon become very expensive and the cheaper option is then a hostel but I don't want to share the room. This would be perfect for my travels - cheap, clean and private. Space isn't an issue for me when I'm only there to sleep. Thanks for letting us travel through your videos!

      I travel to Japan for work often before the pandemic... There is nothing in SF Bay Area that can compare food wise. Even Japantown in SF still has a gap. Japanese cuisine is too elaborate and labor intensive and it's just hard to do well for the US market.

      You’re overlooking the significant problem of not having access to key ingredients locally. Getting them elsewhere takes time and money that inevitably is recouped in increased menu prices. I lived in Japan for 3 years (and in S Korea for 2 years) and traveled the country extensively during that time. I quickly learned that the lack of available, quality ingredients is why it’s all it impossible to replicate my favorite Japanese dishes in the US. Hawaii and believe it or not, Alaska, IMO do it best. Being states with well established fishing industries, that makes sense. And as pricey as Japanese food is in SF, food in Alaska (where I lived for 3 years as well) is even more expensive, as is literally everything else there, paying war mfrom homes, cars and consumer goods to health care, home repairs and even concerts. As a traveling judge in the military I spent a lot of time covering the pacific including Hawaii and know how cost prohibitive living there is, including the cost of groceries but what Hawaii has over the rest is direct access to the fish/shellfish needed to make various dishes AND having readily available Japanese ingredients. Depending where you live of course a restaurant could order what’s needed but that comes with a premium price tag. But If you think prices are bad on mainland Japan, you’ll want to avoid dining in any semi upscale Okinawan restaurants in that prefecture 😬😳 😱 When you’re on an island that’s 60 miles long and 13 miles wide at its widest point you learn to expect paying at least one arm and occasionally a leg for your dinner.

    The size of the bed alone has me sold! It's larger than my single mattress at home, and I can sleep quite comfortably on its smaller dimensions :) I'd be fine with a conventional capsule too, but I can imagine that the wider and taller space would be extra appreciated by people who want something a little bit more spacious, but still fairly compact. This one's going on the list of hotels I'm keeping track of for when the time comes to book my first trip to Japan!
