- We tried using the mysterious sleeping pods & working booth located in various stations in Tokyo.
We also visited a robot cafe in Shibuya.

Folks, please share your thoughts on how this pod would be used if it were in your country or town.
These pods are great for many reasons I can see the benefits of these pods for all walks of life tho, in 70s 80s 90s I can see them being used like phone booths yuk! Lol this is a a good invention I hope unlike the phones booths of the past these pods are monitor by people and not just left their like old fashioned phone booth.
Americans need this
@@gymcelmaxing so we can get even more lazy lol. But to be serious, this would be a great service for a homeless person.
@@gymcelmaxing
So True,
This could help a lot with our homeless by adding a small 🚽 and portable shower.?
Just a thought
I find it ironic that it's supposed to be a sleep pod and when you drink coffee it's hard to sleep. They could use these for all the homeless people in the United States cuz there's many all over the place what does one of these cost? I'm surprised how quiet it is inside that pod
I love how the Japanese keep everything so clean and sanitary considerate of others. If that pod was in America it would be filthy with things missing and paraphernalia everywhere. I can’t wait to visit Japan
Homogenous society
@@stn7172 it’s their culture of being respectful in all aspects. No other homogenous societies are like this. This indoctrination starts at grade school.

@@JD______ the nordic countries
@@tedchad I don't see their cafes like this
A private booth is very much needed in a place like an airport, or station. Especially if you have to do work, or just want to create a bubble and relax.
I would definitely pay for this during a layover!
@Michelle Amen!
@@zakiyyah463 Definitely it's worth the money
@Michelle in Jesus name amen
Often times, travelers are under slept. Sometimes a power nap is really needed. In some cases, a nap may prevent a person from getting sick, if they were just on the verge of getting sick.
As a 21 year old, confused and a bit lost in Narita airport alone and en-route to Sydney, I asked a passing Japanese lady how to purchase an international phone card. She reached into her purse and handed me the equivalent of a £50 card. I tried to give her money, she smiled and shook her head and was gone. That was 28 years ago, and is my lasting memory of Japan. 💛
I think every airport should have pods like these but specifically designed for sleep. I got stuck overnight in St. Louis a few months ago and sitting in the cold terminal waiting for our early morning flight with no place to lie down was awful. It was also cold in there. I would have loved to have a place inside the terminal to lie down and stay warm for a few hours while I was waiting for our next flight.
Happened to us at JFK.
The first pod had a comfortable chair at least, but w/ all that room, and being called a sleeping pod, I was expecting that chair to really recline so people could sleep a bit. These are more like working pods than sleeping one. Esp. the second one, that was all about a place to to work.
In big airports in Europe there are pods and private shower rooms.
This was $2.50 for 15 minutes! Lol.
but how do you lie down? I only saw a chair in there.
a power nap with coffee a chance to charge electronics and get a little work done when you're having a busy day and waiting for transportation to catch up with you, that sounds amazing~ More cultures should do these small things that keep people ready for whatever is next, and it helps make job opportunities even if they are small ones for people to care for these pods...
Here in America these would be abused. We have a lot of homeless people so unless these were available in buildings only accessible to employees or people with keycard access, and regularly cleaned, then it wouldn’t be worth the money or tax dollars.
In other words, if they were open to the public, they would quickly become destroyed.
Busses, subways and bullet trains, public systems are dirtied and to me they’re uncomfortable. It’s not just homelessness too. It’s homelessness mixed with drug abuse and lack of hygiene. It’s very sad and heartbreaking.It’s also destructive, unsanitary and unsafe.
that's because in japan, they have one culture and everyone communicates and believes the same things. everyone is on the same page. in america, these machines will be turned into toilets or smashed up because of some people's hang ups and complexes created by multicultural agendas
@@cagneybillingsley2165 I have to Agree with You.
@@magdalena2115 Don't blame everything on the homeless, there are a Lot of homeless people Who Never destroy Anything; and American history has Shown and proven that many with a LOT of money and Huge Egos who are also drug users and have proven to destroy Several Expensive Hotel Rooms, and plenty of youth who never been homeless; and have destroyed entire buildings. It's just the kind of people that we have in AMERICA.
@@magdalena2115 they are a rented space in places of mass transit that I'm already suggesting have a job position opened up for a small team of people to maintain them... i mean someone has to check the stock of coffee creamer sugar make sure the lights all work fine change the trash... im actually in program for a homeless shelter program with my own place right now... i see a lot of people that could use this framework for success because it gives them that extra to work with and makes time management and coping with a day that might be too stressful mentally easier to manage
i love how once he steps in the loudness from outside completely disappears. makes you forget you’re in a busy station.
He turned down the volume i think. You cant even hear him drink or type
@@headphonic8You do actually hear him drink and eat, just softly. He was eating a pastry, which itself doesn’t cause much noise when eating, nor does drinking. The pod itself is also sound-proofed to an extent.
@@headphonic8 8:50 here is one such case
These rooms are amazing for people with anxiety, just a little private space to calm down.
Would not even have to be completely enclosed. But would be nice to see these everywhere really.
In reference to how clean Japan is and how polite the Japanese are, the comedian Jim Gaffigan has said that the Japanese are the only people who deserve earth. I spent two weeks in Tokyo with my husband in 2014 and cried when we had to leave, it was that wonderful. So I agree with Mr. Gaffigan.
You should live and work there for 15 years like myself. With a Japanese boss and Japanese coworkers. Every week you think about killing yourself at least once (I left).
@@f.n.6218 Yipes, that's a reality check.
@@f.n.6218 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro doesn't know about the war crimes just like Japanese schoolchildren😔
Funny considering they unalive themselves more than anyone else. I wonder what the cause is?
I was very surprised to see how quiet it was inside of the pod! 😮
Ultra quiet!!!! Nice❤️❤️❤️I think more than a catnap will have me dead for 8 hours!!!🤣🤣
Of course it's quiet it is closed ! What do you expect in a sleeping pod ? Heavy Metal ?
Well that's the point of the pod isn't it? To have peace and quiet
And how spacious the first one was - with all-you-can-drink coffee.
I thought it seemed too loud and distracting, you could hear every noise outside the booth
The first one was $2.50 for all the coffee you can drink, a comfortable chair, plus 15 minutes of quiet inside a busy metro station.
That's just a wee bit better than a Starbucks, I'd say.
How many hours we can stay?
@@marianedegamma5089 I think this is why Americans aren't allowed to have nice stuff. If there's ever an opportunity to take advantage of any situation, they will as long as they can afford to
@@marianedegamma5089 No idea. There's probably a 2-hour limit.
@@thewiseoldfox dang you absolutely murdered that guy 😂😂
@@thewiseoldfox Ah yes the "Americans" comment. I get where you're coming from, but this is why you have hour limits in these things. Besides, these would be pretty brilliant in airports where flights get canceled so much lately.
I am a Canadian living in Ontario. I love how Japan has developed so many wonderful and useful things that we use every day! But Japanese culture is very different from North American in that Japanese people are much more polite and respectful of their environment and country than we in NA are, generally. As much as I would love to have trains with these wonderful amenities in them, I know that the pods would not be kept as clean and carefully used as they are in Japan. We have too many people who would vandalize places like the office working pods or sleeping pods on trains or in stations and these facilities would be ruined for those of us who are respectful of property.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's interesting to see the cultural differences and their impacts. I hope one day we can bridge the gap and enjoy such amenities everywhere!
Aloha! I’m on Oahu in Hawaii. I think it could be a neat trial alternative for travelers who have stop overs through HNL, or even travelers coming for quick business trips, especially inter-islanders … Hawaii probably has a good test market ability in the Hawaii International airports.
Canadians are mostly respectful too.
Japan is an example of how when you build a society off or respect and consideration, you often create an environment where everybody plays their part in maintaining social spaces. It makes it much easier for employees to keep a space immaculately clean when there isn’t people too lazy to clean up after themselves.
Then didn't have much respect and considereation for the countriess they attacked. They don't respect their women and are highly discrimiatory society.
If it were where I live, those things would have been trashed in days
I almost get jealous seeing things like this in Japan. If these existed in the United States, they would be destroyed in a matter of days.
I've been to the US (one year as an exchange student) and that is true only for some locales. Where I was it was very clean (and that includes DC and NY, though we didn't wander to the seedier parts thereof). You'd have to go to Mordor to see what it's like here to truly appreciate the depths of human depravity in this regard.
Yea… probably hours 😢😢
@@BoraHorzaGobuchulno you haven’t been around much in the US then. It would absolutely be destroyed and not respected
In France, the coffee capsules stolen, and the armchair torn with a knife, we received all the degenerates from Africa and Eastern Europe.
Not too many 13%ers in Japan hence a peaceful, respectful, very low crime society.
I know this pod for people who had to do a work or just take a breath. But this thing also help people with mental health problem like anxiety, social anxiety, panic attack to just cool down. Great invention! 🇯🇵
Edit - Thanks for the likes and kind words. Whoever you are out there going through a hard time, i hope you doing well in you life. Remember that you are not alone in this path. Don't go too hard on yourself and take a good care of yourself ❤️
Ikr. I've been thinking about it now
in an airport it would be amazing for me, calm and quiet area, even if this 1m square, just settle down before flight, it would be like a lounge on a budget
Yeah, I was thinking the same! I'd be very happy to use it, when the surroundings would get overwhelming ✨ I have a sound sensitivity and pod like this would be a blessing 🙈
Shows how little foreigners know of Japanese culture. You don’t want to be going to Japan if you have mental health issues lmao
that's true. it could be very helpful.
Overstimulation can be a problem especially in such a busy place like a train station. It's good when people can retreat somewhere quiet, so they don't get a meltdown.
The fact that the Japanese considering a place of comfort and relaxation in such a busy and crowded area just shows how much they appreciate to always have a moment to let your soul rest.
Very pleasing to watch. Japan has simplicity I adore in many ways.
I watched out of curiosity because my late son loved the Japanese culture and he had been weighing heavily on my mind because his birthday is in a few weeks. Then I saw you mentioned his name Eron, I know you meant Elon but still made my heart smile. Thank you
I'm sorry for your loss. That's a sweet story 🙂
What happened to your son?
@@domhamai does it really matter that’s kind of an intrusive Q. Point is this parent has suffered the loss of their child and were able to reconnect in a poignant way through this video. Just respect that sentiment.
@@moominmay yea sure, but I’m just curious. Maybe talking about it would be good for them, maybe not; they aren’t compelled to do anything they don’t want.
I think your son's spirit is floating over Japan and is happy and free 🙏🏻
The attention to detail that seems so widespread in Japan is just incredible
Thing is with Japan , if they were to be attacked by an EMP
They wouldn't be able to function for even a day
imagine someone rent the booth just to set the hidden camera

Such a polite and clean society. It's like heaven compared to the metropolitan cities of US.
It is for the Japanese. But Japan does not have to deal with millions of people with different cultures and beliefs.
It is, but it isn't without it's problems. Very high suicide rate, pretty strict rules about certain things, especially guns, ect.
I noticed you keep your places tidy , unlike here in the UK , respect to you and your country seeing you take great pride in it !
Because they have money. They are rich so can keep tidy.
This is a rich country too , anyway what's that to do with keeping tidy ?

Cleanliness is a lifestyle choice. The Japanese have mastered it.
As a german person i made such a happy face when i realized you were eating Baumkuchen! I did hear it's popular in japan but i never thought i would see it outside of germany. We love eating it during christmas time!
We call it BaamKuuHen and yes, it's quite popular. 😊
a german baker opened a bakery in japan and made the baumkuchen famous in japan. its eaten every time of the year and not only during christmas time like we germans do it
Huh? Baumkuchen nur an Weihnachten? Du verwechselst das doch mit Stolle? Hab noch nie gehoert, dass Baumkuchen zu Weihnachten gegessen wird.
@@famaccount479 Nene, hier wo ich wohne (Oberfranken) gibt's Baumkuchen nur an Weihnachten in den läden

In the west the first person that goes in immediately puts all the coffee capsules in their handbag when they leave leaving none for the next person lol this would never work here, still it's always astonishing to see the things that are possible in a place as sophisticated and respectful as Japan
It’s sometimes easy to think this way and I see comments like this on a lot of videos extolling Japan’s wonderful virtues of tech and cooperative society. I think it’s important to keep in mind that people are people, all around the globe. Part of the reason it might be less likely for conveniences like the coffee pods to be taken advantage of in Japan would be that Japan already has a very successful social support structure! Food and basic goods are largely affordable and there’s a lot of socialized medicine, so people have a little less reason to “panic stash” free public goods. When a society provides for its people, we know crime goes down and cooperation goes up. Basically, try not to beat up the people of your country too much, there’s almost always a reason for sociocultural behaviors and they can change with proper social supports ❤
@@eleabolar There's whole channels dedicated to the poor and the homeless in Japan, according to official statistics 16% of Japanese children live below the poverty line so they exist, but even the poor and the homeless don't steal in Japan, it's cultural, it's not a matter of money.
Also the things people steal in the west aren't basic foods, they're things like over-the-counter drugs, coffee pods, electronics, sneakers etc. most of the time people are stealing they're not doing it out of necessity, they're doing it out of opportunity and because their upbringing doesn't provide any counter-balancing force to the idea of just taking whatever you want
I think the west is making a massive mistake by fooling itself into believing that people are all just equal everywhere regardless of upbringing or cultural norms, that culture doesn't matter and that no effort needs to be put into this.
In the west people who are employed, housed, fed and own cars and expensive clothing still steal sneakers if they find themselves in an opportune moment to do so, in Japan even the most destitute homeless person refuses to take something that's not theirs.
its less about sophistication and more about cultural uniformity. way before we can get to the stealing theres just no reason to put these things in America due to the multitude of different cultures and way of life. pros and cons to both things.
@@eleabolar Your post is so accurate. I see people saying it's because Japan is a homogenous culture, which is only partially correct. In the USA, the "establishment" of elites, corporations, and well moneyed people use the media and all kinds of propaganda to stoke divisions in the country: people of color vs white, upper middle class vs working class, Democrat vs Republican, etc. In the USA, there is a lot of propaganda to make people just have disdain for the homeless and the extremely poor. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people here that think all homeless and poor people are in the position they are in because they were lazy, they didn't want to work hard, or they were dumb handling their finances. It is to the advantage of our corrupt government and the moneyed elites to keep those of us, who actually have a lot in common, from joining together. In a homogenous society, it is a lot harder to find as many divisions in society. Also, our overly expensive healthcare makes everyone live with possible financial insecurity hanging over their head. Even if you have health insurance, there is no guarantee the claims will be paid. I think a lot of Americans are one disastrous illness from bankruptcy. That kind of insecurity and stress in a society results in people acting out more. Like you said, a healthy, well taken care of society doesn't have as much desire to destroy things.
As soon as I saw the coffee that’s what I immediately thought. People are so greedy
I love the technology, so cool.❤
I cannot sleep in a chair, why does the sleeping pod not have a bed?
Space
@@jimbojimbo6873um, make them longer, derp.
Makes sense to have a bed
exactly - they can fit a bed there
it's NOT a sleeping pod.
It's a work station.
I lived in Tokyo for a year and I was fascinated at how good the fast food was, it doesn’t taste like ours at all. Also, the grocery store only had foods that were in season. Very clean, and very crowded and I mean crowded all the time and everywhere. The cabs are also extremely expensive but the culture and fashion and people were all very nice. Get this! I lost my wallet and passport in a park and it was returned to a police station the next day. Everything was in it! The nightlife in Shinjuku is FIRE! Don’t buy shoes there though, I couldn’t find a size anywhere pass a US 9😂. Also the wearing a mask if you’re sick is a MUST over there, and this was before Covid.
Lets be honest anyone that concerned about the wearing of a mask isn't going to Japan to visit anyway
@@indubitably_ they have worn masks forever, also all the scumbags that defile places probably won't travel either so no loss to Japan, went there many years ago, I will have to go back someday
I experienced the same thing in Copenhagen almost 20 years ago. When I wanted to buy flowers for the man who found my wallet, I learned that he didn't want flowers just because he had normal morals. I wasn't allowed to give him anything.
Womens shoes are amazing to buy there! The shoes snap close with a decorative buckle on top of the snap, so you dont have to fiddle around with your wedges or heels every time you step into them
@@headphonic8 I’m a man, and buying shoes was not fun. Plenty of cute sneakers, but nothing over a 9 and I’m an 11.
As an introvert, this would be a welcome oasis while travelling anywhere.....wonderful concept.
That’s not what being introverted is about.
@hannah60000 for me, its about that😂
first pod could be better if the seat reclined for sleep...and the table pulled across
That’s not what “introvert” means.
Maybe social anxiety? Do you become uncomfortable & overwhelmed by groups of people?
@@Rae_777 Cambridge dictionary literally defines introvert as "someone who is shy, quiet, and prefers to spend time alone rather than often being with other people" - so a space to spend time ALONE is appealing to me as an INTROVERT......😂
That panda cake was so cute, and the coffee robot was a good worker 🐼🤖👍
Whatever the Japanes do, is is always perfectly thought out and done

They need sleeping pods in Universities. At the University, I used to take naps in the library. I would reserve a seat in the 4 hour section so that I could take my one hour nap and still have time to get work done. One time in college I also couldn't stay awake so I went to the restroom and took a short 15 minute nap leaning up against the wall of the handicap stall. 😓
Our students union building had comfy couches, and there was a gas fireplace that they would turn on when it got really cold. It was the best place to nap. 👌
@@tarazieminek1947 The student union is where I did all my napping in college. It was very comfy with couches and chairs. Even if you couldn't get one of the comfy chairs, the tables with chairs made good napping spots too.
I lived in Yokosuka from 1985 through 1987. I LOVED living in Japan and wanted to stay permanently but life happened and it didn't come to fruition. I climbed Mt. Fuji (A MUST if you travel to Japan during summer months) and absolutely LOVED the courteous and most polite group of people on the planet. You can hear a PIN DROP on the trains (at least back then you could) ..... it was so surreal to live there and I pray one day to make it back before Im off this rock. First timer here but enjoyed your little visits to locations I I haven't seen in quite a while.
Japan doesn't allow foreigners to live in Japan permanently, per a documentary. Too bad. I would love to live there among polite, orderly people and in a clean environment.
@@wownewstome6123 that's not entirely true. For most people you just have to prove to the Japanese government that you can self support yourself and wouldn't have to rely on the Japanese government for any financial support like their version of US social security or medicare. So to live there you either need to find a job that allows you to work in Japan or remotely from Japan. OR be rich enough to prove that the Japanese government doesn't have to worry about you financially.
The only other options after those is to have good Japanese friends who can vouch for you or family who are from Japan
@@wownewstome6123 Not true. There are many legal ways to live in Japan as a foreigner either by being married to a Japanese citizen, getting a job with a Japanese employer etc. I am doing it myself and it’s totally doable if you have the drive and passion. Once you establish PR (Permanent Residency) it’s not a problem.
Did Michael Jackson visit Japan on his BAD tour while you were there.? I remember Yokosuka being one of the stops on the tour. ❤️
@@mindpixel523 When I visited Japan years ago the wait for most trains was minutes, not sure why you would need a pod?
I named one of my cats koneko after kitty in Japanese. I was hiking at Mt, Mitake and ran across an outdoor cat, I said here kitty, kitty, kitty, then realized it did not speak English, hence finding out what cat was in Japanese. I was quite surprised how beautiful the country was.
Enjoy your time…
I would love to visit Japan, just bc I know the people are nice and kind. These “sleeping” booths are not really for sleeping, just resting? I always thought of making a capsule with a comfortable cot inside at train stations and airports for people to take a nap. Thank you for sharing all these incredible places there. Japan is definitely on my bucket list. 😊❤️

@@SuckasNeverPlayMe that’s exactly what I meant when I said people with sensory issues or are overstimulated. There are neurodivergent adults too. These pods serve many purposes that extend past what you personally would use them for.
I have a “room” like this in my home. We use it to store things but I often thought about making it into a podcast room of sorts. This gave me a great idea.
I thoroughly enjoy watching this. Now I want to visit Japan even more. Tho it seems busy and chaotic at times but it can be fun!
The cleanliness for Japanese folks. No crimes and no graffiti!👍
We want both
Graffiti is a must!
No multiculturalism.
To be fair, crime in Japas does exist, and the crime rate is worse when their economy is troubled.
Homogenous society
When you step into Tokyo it’s like you went through a Time Machine into the future. I was there in 2019 before pandemic (luckily). It is truly super clean, cool, beautiful, delicious food and awesome products. If flight wasn’t that long I would go there again
Still there would be others germs on everything they touched and slept on. Many ppl would have sex in them. Who cleans the furniture when ppl leave it? I didn’t see a sanitizer person.

@L G I mean I sure would. Its toyko and she's never had sex that good
@@LGAussie Actually no, no one would have sex in there. Its too public. Japan is very different from the west, they wouldnt take it as a opportunity to have sex.

@@Dabeliiuteef The jobs it is replacing should be entry level for young people.

I am amazed how quiet is in Japan. So many people but so quiet and peaceful.
That's because Japanese people are intelligent. Intelligent people have more empathy and care about other people's well-being.
@@maidsua4208nope that is because of the culture. It's good place to visit, not to live, you should check suicide rate in Japan, their work ethic and culture. There is reason a lot isekai story come from Japan
@@ribertfranhanreagen9821 Yes, the work culture is demanding, long days and I don't know how many holidays they have. The USA has similar long days and here I know that many people cannot afford or are given holidays by their employer. Here where I live we get 5 weeks paid holiday, plus an extra week for everyone over 60. So for us it's horrible that people don't get a proper holiday after slaving for an employer for a year.
When it comes to the suicide rate, the USA is also clearly higher than Japan - along with a lot of other countries. Japan is not the country with the most suicides per capita, although many would like to think so. Both the UN and Wikipedia have lists of countries' suicide rates that you should look at. And while you're at it, check out the world IQ map 😉
So I agree, the Japanese culture is beautiful when it comes to consideration for other people.
Basically any monoethnic society that they want you to deprive of in the west
@@maidsua4208 What a naive little world you live in. Generalizations like that are equally as nonsensical as saying American people are stupid.

few years ago i was travelling by train very often back and forth to uni. some days i was so tired i'd fall asleep anywhere just to rest a little. i really wish we had such sleep capsules here, in poland. would definitely help me a lot and make my travels more enjoyable

Down from the living arrangements, food, culture and just everyday life. Y'all got it going on! Everyone was masked up and I didn't see one person smoking. That's very odd. I think they should have pods like this on the side of the streets and roads where people are homeless and allow them to stay in them for a small fee. It's so cold outside and I always have a heavy heart for anyone out in the cold. Even animals. Anyway great video and thank you for sharing! It is very interesting to watch especially me being the US. ❣️ 🐼
Thank you very much 😆
Those pods in the US would be vandalised and destroyed in a minute
I hear what you're saying, but the Japanese people are very respectful people. And if we had these in the US, They would be destroyed, full of drugs and needles, no one would upkeep it. The US is selfish and can't have nice things.
@@wowerz82 The same would happen in the UK. They would be used as toilets.
Wow, that much stupidity. Everyone is masked😂😂😂 very clever. This keeps every infection away 😂😂😂😂. And the jabs, oh my god. They are sooo effective, anyone should have 20 or 30 of 💉, because its sooo effective, right. 🤣🤣🤣
Everyone is alone in his pods an get his food from machines, sooo smart buddy. And they pay their robot coffee with CASH😂😂😂😂 they are sooo smart there in Japan. And they also get no relationships, grow childs, they get older and older and some day...
Di u ever heard about the novel 1984 buddy?
I love watching Japanese craftsmanship and artistry videos. Everything is done with such precision, grace and beauty. Even the way they wrap gifts! It's mind-boggling.
I’m always amazed at how quiet everyone in Japan is even when there’s big crowds of people.
You hear the machinery and background noises but never too much loud chitter chatter going on like in most crowded places.
its very much because of their own culture, extreme respect for another, and their privacy and rights, keep everything clean for the next person, just like you would want to find it yourself. they are like that.
Wow! Amazing . Thank you so much for sharing. whoever invented the Sleep Pods, excellent idea. Wished we had that here. Cute robot. Your video is greatly appreciated. ❤❤❤
Not quite sure what I was expecting, maybe reclining chair as oppose to putting your head down on the desk for the power nap (maybe a westerner thing) but a great "pit stop" rest stop for the busy traveler or business person!!!
my thoughts exactly i was hoping the leg part of the chair would lift up under the desk or something so it could recline a bit.
The chair should have had some way to slide under the desk to lay down and nap.
Yeah where's the bed... it says sleeping pods... not sitting pods lol
@@kee-tu4cq agreed
Actually if you pause the video at 1:39 it says work station, so I'm not sure why the video labelled them as "sleeping pods", we have these work stations in Singapore everywhere as well and it's really amazing and quiet.
Love how clean Japan is! From food to living.
impeccable cleanliness! it seems everyone is clean, polite, respectful and quiet!
@@InglouriousBradsterd and ready to jump out of a very clean window .
@@InglouriousBradsterd the opposite of what Americans are fr 🤣
@@kyleculmer8693 that may be true but America is still the greatest country in the world despite how luxurious japan looks
@@dragerdet America is way ahead of Japan, it's just that it's a country of extremes
These things are actually amazing
Love it! … quite space for about 3 hours…
That second pod is more than you can ask for in a UK full time workers office (in my experience), let alone something like this. I'm amazed
Well the UK is the biggest dump in the western world
I'd love to go to Japan one day. The cleanliness and the discipline most japanese people practice is the kind of thing I would want my future children and all other chidren to learn about someday.
They have some cleanliness but they also have many illegal things.
Loved seeing your video and can’t wait to watch more. Very interesting, thank you.🇨🇦
Japan is in my bucket list ! Can wait to meet Ultraman ,Godzilla! Sorry ,Great video
Japan has definitely remained one of the countries on my bucket list that I would love to visit!
I can’t get over how quiet it is
If it was darker it would be perfect to sleep for a couple of hours
Things are so clean and organized over there, much respect to the Japanese
I LOVE Japan..... What a BEAUTIFUL Country and people! Their culture is incredible too!
Thank you for this!
You have Asian fetish?
So was the USA until the liberals took over.
Im having an ASMR vibe from your video. awesome 👍
The train stations are spotless in spite of the number of people going through everyday. I wish the US was as clean as Japan.
This was very cute and calming. In America the experience would be quite different. I’m always in awe in general how polite and kept to themselves people in Japan are. No one minds you filming, no one bothers you over it, people just mind their business and respect that other people are doing their own thing. And so clean! More and more I wish I could move to Japan. If I had a skill I could bring to the workforce I would.
Yeah same with UK, it would be filled with fag butts, pess, vomme, empited cans of ale, etc. Right horrid
Get a skill
@@bobsag1164
Leave Japan for the Japanese.
I’ve seen a public bathroom pod on a street corner in Los Angeles. It costs 25 cents to enter . Has 1 toilet and sink. Once you exit the pod, the entire interior of the pod is flushed out and sanitized and ready for the next person. I thought that was genius!
Some one died in one of those in London recently, they were unfortunately trapped inside when it went into the sanitisation mode.
They have something like that in France on the street.
@@ExLibris-Alys Seem futuristic but it is scary, what if it got malfunction. I would only use it when I have no choice. 😨
@@sola4393 Yes, I agree
@@AlanPoncet no, I saw it on the street of France on my travel. It is there, just not everywhere.
Edit: I saw one on the street. It looks like a tube where you need to insert coin to enter. It is certainly a toilet with sign posted outside. I can't said it is everywhere, since I only seen one there on the street. Even a relative live there told me they have such, so I took notice. I don't know if it is a promotion or a testing run, but it is definitely there, saw it with my own eyes.
I honestly don't know what to say. I'm a big American and a bit claustrophobic. Yet, those little pods seem cozy and inviting. The pastries definitely appear appetizing and I'm curious, but I usually avoid unhealthy sugary treats. Still, I suppose if I was making all that effort to travel through Japan, I'd probably try new things. Good video.
Imagine if u enjoyed ur time in those pods lol
@@franky-fr9ow The only way I'd enjoy one is if I had a pretty little jap girl sitting in my lap. LOL
Go to Japan to sit in a cubicle made in China.
first pod was my favorite.
Thanks for sharing this.
Thank you! Cheers!
The little rest booths should have option of sleep booths with a reclining chair of sorts. The 2nd rest pod had a chair that looked uncomfortable. I guess I’d you just want to work in quiet, they serve their purpose. I loved your coffee and sweets! And the coffee robot was definitely novel!
I thought the robot was a LOT bulky. We had robots at Cray Research 30 years ago that looked more like the Terminator and were a lot sleeker looking and were faster.
Try a capsule hotel
But this is avail only in Japan that's the point. I neae future they might have bed.
Yes, if you don't lie down horizontally to sleep once every 24hrs, you start to retain fluid in your feet & ankles that never gets filtered by your kidneys & causes health problems.
I know my opinion of all this does not align with most people's here in the comments, but I hate all this! I think people shouldn't be working so much that they have to rent time in a pod to rest, or get more work done, or whatever. It's just unnatural. I make my own coffee at home usually, but if I buy coffee out somewhere, I want a human being to make it.
We evolved as social animals. We need to interact with one another. We need to touch grass. We need to move away from the kind of existence shown in this video. It's not the way we should be living. I'm so glad I won't probably live long enough to see what happens to society in the future. If this is any indication, we're doomed as a species. To me, this is pure nightmare fuel.
The Japanese, though, ARE a little oddball. NOBODY pays as much attention to detail where the PRESENTATION of food is concerned. Sometimes I don't know whether I should EAT something, or frame it & hang it on a wall! It's a little weird to me.
I've never seen people so fixated on appearances, the presentation of every little thing in their ordinary, day-to-day lives.
I think they should spend less time making everything look a certain way, work fewer hours, & relax for real at home! IMO, I'm just say'n. Every Japanese person I've ever interacted with in my travels has been very stressed out, suspicious of everything, & fearful of everyone. Of course, I haven't interacted with all that many, since they're almost always tucked safely way in an air-conditioned coach with other Japanese tourists. You almost never see a Japanese tourist on foot in the streets, experiencing a place first hand.
I hate robots and anything that makes us even more lonely than we already are! But I can still feel the love, care and work that has been put into this robot, no matter how far I am, you can feel it. And for that, I like this.
I feel the exact same way. I love the concept. But there's still an underlying feeling of loneliness from a robot making your coffee and not a person.
Bet that coffee is perfect every time, no, I just had a bad day, no, I have a lot of stress. No, I'm not feeling great today. No excuses
I'm usually old-fashioned lately but I love this idea. Someone who travelled in her car I didn't like the pay for hotels and I worked all the time. Sleep is very important
I am enjoying seeing how different Japan culture is…no pushing or shoving. I miss people being polite in the USA. I LOVE seeing the upgrade in electronics! Please keep showing these interesting snapshots of Japan. Aregato (gosi?)😌
So artistic! I loved all the special small details when I visited Japan. I spent three weeks traveling, but my favorite stop was Kyoto. The most beautiful place. Another beautiful spot was Toba. So many things to see and do.
It was the trip of a lifetime. And the Japanese people are so polite. What a lovely manners!
It was expensive due to the dollar being way less than the yen. Plan accordingly.
I’m sorry I won’t be able to return, but I will never forget the lovely people I met and the beauty that overwhelmed me💕💕💕💕💕💕
Kyoto is awesome! I had a layover in Osaka when I was a Flight Attendant and I loved almost everything....except traveling during rush hours 😊
@@ElaAusDemTal I thought Osaka seemed to be more manufacturing and business town. But loved the old castle. Wouldn’t be a top spot to revisit like Kyoto. 😀
Food, coffee, nap, etc. It’s a charging station for people. Cool.
That looks like an awesome travel item
I can’t believe how clean everything is.
Barista Robot doesn't spit into your coffee, give you attitude, make you wait, and isn't prejudiced. Can't wait for this to go international. Thank you, Japan!
Barista Robot also doesn’t make coffee just the way you like it after seeing you, remember your name, ask about your family or have anything unique to offer. Be careful what you wish for. Perhaps you should find another coffee shop.
@@Jonas-gl9ke I agree, I'd find someplace other than lame Starbucks to go for coffee in the first place. I definitely do not want robots everywhere dehumanizing society even more than it already has been.
Robots might be interesting to see for the first time, but it further isolate human interactions and cause mental health issues.
and doesn't ask for a tip
@@kirarakurokawa8747 . Maybe it will be programmed to in the future.
Amazed at how quiet it is, with so many people.
I could have used one of these sleeping booths during my younger traveling days when I had to wait several hours between connecting flights.
"i think Eron might be involved" XDDDDDD 13:13
this would be great in libraries. I like the automatic lock feature, I used to try to hold my bathroom breaks for as long as possible because it wasn't safe to leave your stuff and I'd have to pack up everything and of course, when I returned the seat would be gone.
Great idea! We’ll consider this in our rollout!
no bed = no sleeping pod
I‘d use it anytime since 2.50 is pretty cheap for a coffee in a station. Plus you can make a second one for takeout when leaving. And you sit more somfortable while drinking in private. Incredible!
This is such a Japanese idea lol. I love Japan so much. It always shocks me how quiet the train and airports are there too compared to the US as well.
They crush people to fit them on the trains there! Extremely dangerous
No black people here
It's a Japanese idea forced upon them because their ratio of people to available space is shockingly disproportionate. In other words, they're having to think of all of these ways to conserve space because they've flat run out of it. And never forget that Japan's economic recovery post-WWII is a 100% American effort. We bailed them out, like we have bailed out (and continue to bail out) many of the countries in the world. Put that in your pipe & smoke it the next time you speak ill of the U.S.A.
@@kenh5799 Americans when someone says the train stations in Japan are quieter...
They have woman only carriages too because of groping.
This could not exist in America. People would garbage the interior, steal the fan, chair would be sticky 😂
If america Homeless would live there in the pod and cocaine powder spilled everywhere
They definitely would, or any other country!
Its remarkably quiet in that pod! It would be a fantastic place to sit and work or study if you dont have a quiet home, or just need an hour or two to work or nap
when i saw "out of this world" on the screen i heard "done and dusted" afterward in my head now all the subtitles are read in my mind as the narrator of those tiktoks about japan
4:13 hey I'm Italian and that coffee machine is the Nespresso competitor! It also has cappuccino pods and other beverages! :)
Homeless people can use this idea, a 12 hour rest in recliner maybe provide a disposable potty too, and they're safe for the night that gets cleaned in the morning. Plus, a card that only works with recliner booth.
That was interesting, I wish there was things like that in Sweden, I sometime want to stop and work on ideas I get or to edit a photo and send it of fast, to go to a coffeeshop is often too distraction. Thank you for sharing.
That sleep café is a DREAM for the socially anxious or introverted person! 😂
That's pretty neat
$2.58 in USD
Sounds reasonable, I would use one if they existed here at that price
man, being from NJ/NY I cant BELIEVE how quiet the train stations are.. over here you'd be lucky to hear yourself speak
