Okay but let's just agree that 60 bucks a night in the middle of a massive city is still unheard of.
I stayed in a hostel that was 66 a night it was in London as well there is another that is like 14 a night
In America 60 a night is unheard of.
alycia broadbent HOW . where
1800 a month in the middle of Tokyo
Id like but its 333 likes so you understand
As little as 600 a month , and i'd be living in Tokyo? Tempting.
Max Welsh 7 grand a year
How are you getting the 300 value? haha isn't it $20/night*30 nights = $600? or am i missing something?
@@itsehsanh just catching my terrible math. Lol. Ooops. Edited.
Max Welsh haha all good man. Still not bad for Tokyo!
You could pay the same for a room at a share house and have larger and more reliable personal space, common cooking area, etc.
People: Cheap can’t be good!
Japan: **cough** hold my anime producers
Uusimaa mapper without videos well you see money has less value as there’s so much of it going around, but unlike us they don’t get paid a lor

I wish we had these in the US. Often when I'm traveling, I'm not looking for "an experience". I just want a clean, comfortable bed and a place to shit, shower and shave in the morning.
We do have them. They are called pod or pod hotels. It's just not as common yet because Americans are used to having space.
@@DarkestDeeds I've never seen one in the USA, or even an advertisement for one. What cities are they in?
@@steverandall5814 A number of the larger ones like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City. Sometimes they are called pods or capsules. Though, they don't always mirror the cramped tube style that the ones shown here do.
@@DarkestDeeds Thanks for the tip. I found one in San Francisco (the closest city to where I live), but it looks like it's totally booked months in advance.
@@steverandall5814 I'm not surprised. They are still "trendy" since they aren't so common place and are still a new concept.
Honestly, the $20 place seemed more like a place I'd enjoy spending some time in.
Same
Me too, they have cool magazines in the rec room
@@stevenh8174 including some japanese porn magazines
ReturnofBenjamin The endless and endless manga could keep me in there for days
AssassinDefault7 its in japanese though
Remember kids, if you want a homemade capsule hotel, just use your washing machine
*turns on light cause it's dark*
If i acindently turn it on I would use A 🔨
NOOOO
You must have a great humour and den ur ma turns it on thinking its full
Remember use a tidepod

Imagine ripping a fart in there
That’s just made my day 😂
I did once I had to break the capsule lol
Spinel Meow Serious?
-oop
@@b54 he doesn't mean break it, he means "open"
These capsule hotels are soon going to be more expensive than normal hotels! 😂
Millennial Travel Confessions waddya mean?
Capsule hotels are supposed to be affordable but they are more like a tourist attraction now which inflates the price
Millennial Travel Confessions oh i guess that makes sense
@Barry the twat ! Lol
Superhotel is cheaper than this lol, with your own bathroom, toilet, bigger bed and breakfast.
honestly i’ve always wanted to stay in one of these capsule hotels, but there’s always part of me that thinks claustrophobic
Me too, I don't think I could do it 🤣🤣
If you pick the more expensive ones they’re usually a lot larger with higher ceilings. I get claustrophobic as hell in anything from a cramped train to a small cubicle and was fine in one!
Emma Smith I am the same but I didn’t have any problems with the capsules but I thought some of the elevators and some of the floors where pretty bad. I had quite a few struggles with myself in Japan.
Emma Smith oooo I’ll definitely consider them for traveling, expensive ones are still cheaper than hotels
I actually kinda like the cramped areas, it gives me a sense of security. And also, with the more expensive ones, you get more space, so that's a plus. And sometimes the capsule hotels could be your only option
Personally as someone who wouldn't really be looking for the other features other than just a room I would definitely take the expensive capsule even over regular rooms at an equivalent price just because it looks so cozy
The bunk beds are for people who wants to read manga in a bed
and blocking the secondary exit door
The bath tub rule: shower before taking a dip.
Your unwashed hair gave it away.
he said there were no showers in the cheap place.
@@ZMBproductions He said no traditional showers. At 3:18 it shows where you are supposed to shower on the left.
You can rinse your body without getting your hair wet.
@@DarkestDeeds Not his chest hairs. It's obvious he didn't wash first.
It seems like these things are not that hygienic only because of foreigners who don't know to wash first. I'm also starting to get the idea that the capsules would be quiet for sleeping as long as there aren't vloggers around, lol.
this makes me want to go to japan even more. lol you're living my dream bobby
The expensive capsule, isn't a capsule. It's more like a roomette on AmTrak.
I thought exactly that. A cabin on a train
Haha i expected this comment. A replica of Amtrak's first class Roomette sleeper cabin.
BOBBY! Awesome video and the ad didn't even feel like one! Definitely going to stay in one of these capsules for my next trip and just downloaded your recommendation and going to listen before my trip to Japan!!! Keep on making top content and thanks for the great recommendation
Best vloger, hands down.
blushing so hard right now. Thank you :)))))))

I don't know if you are intending this with your videos, but you not only made me subscribe, but you also make me want to visit the places you go to.
Japan has a very prominent:

Medium Brain: Hot Tub Culture

Smart Brain: Orphnoch culture
Not sure I get this comment
@@StefanReich smart Brain and orphnoch are referenced to a Japanese TV show (kamen Rider faiz).
@@pacifistattack But Orphenoc are literally undead soooooooo... Idk if thats a good thing
It's crazy seeing how much Bobby has grown over his channel. I've been subscribed before the 10,000 mark. Great content Bobby!
Yooo! Means so much you’ve been around since then! ❤️ and thanks man :))
So your basically saying
You can sleep in
Bathtubs
Or
Small rooms
can't be worse than a standard navy issued coffin rack
That's what I thought of, an enclosed rack, like when you block off the view of your head with a towel.
Yep, no privacy at all besides the blinds
Americans: anything that’s cheap sucks!
Japan: hold my boku no pico
Im actually going Osaka soon 😊
Im not staying in a capsule tho

Sowski have fun!
@@ishaahmed8540 haha lool 😊
Osaka is so cool! You must go to the MASSIVE onsen there called Spa World haha, its so big aand such a cool experience

@2:24, I noticed that the bunk bed on the left side was blocking an emergency exit! Safety First!!!
Mitchell Barnow lol, didn’t notice that!
LivingBobby Thank you so much for making such incredible and unique content, but always know where your exits are! I really appreciate your taking the time to write to me personally, especially with how busy you are.
@@LivingBobby Ehh doesn't matter. They are clearly loose of fire safety codes. God forbid a fire breaks out in one of those places its gonna go up quick.
The other "capsule" hotel was closer to a cabin hotel. It's a more private space and has more room. But then again, at the same price(~$60), you could just rent a regular hotel room.
9:51, that transition was nice af xD
11:19 sound like he’s using autotune there
on that t-pain game
true facts
Something similar for our homeless on the streets of our cities might be a cost-effective humanitarian thing to do......
I was thinking the same thing.
the expensive one looked more like a really tiny room, i would prefer the cheap one if i wanted to the capsule feel
9:51 "Ohhh! That transition tho!" 🤙
The last one looks like a slightly nicer college dorm
Okay but like why is no one talking about how clean those transitions were!?
Your an inspiration to get out of my comfort zone and do things I would never imagine. Much love Bobby!
"I'm not really sure what this is."
My computer:

Noooooooooo

Personally I would head for the nearest Hilton-esque hotel in the area...
Gaunter O'Dimm also not planning to head to Tokyo anytime soon...
As someone who stayed in the Tokyo Hilton at a higher level suite (since I travel for work and got a ton of points), it's pretty good. But it doesn't have quite as many Japanese inspired touches (outside of the premium buffet which includes fresh squeezed OJ), you won't get a bathtub unless you get an upgrade, and there are other options too. APA International is ~$80 a night, you'll get a clean compact room like the capsule, but it's also located in popular areas with a short walking distance. Which is the most important thing, IMHO, of a hotel.
$40 dollars difference isn't even that much
depends how long you stay
200% is
Yeah but it’s a more realistic comparison. Other CZcamsrs have a less realistic comparison
@@Lennartdebeste 300%*
@@BrandanG19 Nope. 200% extra, 300% of the initial price. I was correct earlier
bobby: i honestly thought it was a hot tub but it was a cold bath
me:ok-
bobby:the first thing im thinking sitting in this hot tub is-
me: wait what-
i thought it was a cold tub-
I had already like 10 seconds then when he said “ i’m sleeping on to bathtubs on top of each other” 😂😂😂
bobby, u have to take a shower before u go to the hot tub that's how they do it in japan
*points at air con* I’m not sure what this is and there’s no air con
Bobby: What did you just buy?
Random dude: Uhh. I don’t know
I was thinking maybe he bought something shady haha
The expensive one looked amazing
Your videos are amazing ...you give the real inside of things. No biases...
You cant find a real big onsen in Tokyo's capsule hotel. This means there is a volcano below you while you're sleeping. LOL
You have to go to rural area to find the onsen in your picture.
I think he meant sento, not onsen.
To be fair, one of the hotels I've stayed in (Onsen Ryokan Yuen Shinjuku) claims to get its bathwater from Hakone. :'D Definitely not in a 20$ capsule hotel though...
I wish these could take off in the US.
That's a whole new kind of osha violations
They already have enlist in the Navy and you can get paid to sleep in one of those
No, I love the night-shirt transition! Quite a difference between the two "rooms." The bike lock is your room safe! Very Japanese. I blew past the Audible segment. Good tie-in though - they could help the traveling experiences for sure. And you're getting some scratch for it. So not too shabby!
2:04 I wanna be there *shocked Pikachu Face*
1:58
The new and improved Pewdiepie chair. Only $599
I actually stayed in the cheap capsule hotel in the vid in 2014. Was great value for money. I didn't use any of the facilities though. I only slept there, as I was out exploring most days. Showering with their showers was awkward but I got used to it. I had to turn the handle several times throughout a shower because the water would keep stopping.
I swear to god these capsule hotels are so satisfying.
the mattress is like a beefed up jail mat lol
$50-70 for the "expensive" hotel is basically normal price hotel.
Nesiko Tomoe
That means that the expensive capsule hotel is overpriced. Its supposed to be cheaper than normal priced hotels because you have VERY limited space
That's a very cheap hotel
@@bigmorg1267 or a run of the mill motel lmaooo
That's the thing about capsule hotels though, they're supposed to be cheap. What's the point if it's on the price range of a regular hotel toom
What shitty hotel costs 50-70 a night? These are all great prices in Tokyo lol
I remember watching Bobby’s videos when he had less than 1k if viewers. Look at him now. Well deserved, Bobby.
I love how excited you get about stuff, it gives good vibes. I get excited over little things so I like this!
those capsules look like the interior of a 5-6 meter boat.
Buddy, that's a hell of a lot more comfortable then being on an aircraft carrier for $20. I would kill for that capsule on a carrier!
Thank you for your military service!
@@steverandall5814 You are welcome!
I've done a fair bit of travelling and stated in hostels...these capsule bed would be so much better because you have your space and don't have to worry about waking people up and can keep your light on to read and stuff
CAPRI SUNNNNN !!!!

Dont be racist 😆

I like Bobby because he travels all around the world and does different things 😄😀
3:50 nice spa batch the sound of snot everywhere.
Wonder how long a fart would linger in there
Chloe Young 😂 u special bruh
Nobody like it's on 69
Regan Holland no get too 420
Do you have to let it linger?
Depends if it’s your fart or someone else fart. You might think yours don’t stink but it is worse to others and last longer to others.
That’s the first time I’ve heard someone say “pun not intended” that I think they actually meant it
That babies cute... Not a pedo lol just saying
Tokyo Dome in the background!!! Stayed at Tokyo Dome Hotel earlier this year (March) and had a great time there. Amazing hotel highly recommend.
Also, great content!
Leaving a like for that transition, hot damn!
Me: *Looks through recommended section*
CZcams: *Yes*
YOOOOOO! I FOUND YOU IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF A RANDOM CZcams VIDEO!!! THIS IS CRAZYYYYYYY!!!!
Before watching this I didn't even know "capsule hotel" was a thing.
I actually stayed at the same expensive capsule hotel a couple of weeks ago. Being 1.92 meter, I really had my doubts about staying at one, and I didn't particulary enjoyed the idea of sharing bathrooms and showers. But I have to admit, this one blew me in terms of facilities and just how clean and organised everything looked. And I fit in the bed! I ended up staying only one night, but I probably wouldn't have minded it if I had stayed a few nights longer, it really suprised me.
as someone who hopped from one capsule to another for 7 days.
cheap is always to go, its basically a place to put your bag and sleep while you explore the city/town.
the onsen is just an added feature. the one in Sapporo that i stayed in had no onsen in the place but gave you a voucher to use an affiliated giant capsule/spa. that spa had 2 massive warm bath, 1 small one and 1 big icy bath. it also had 2 sauna rooms, one is set at boiling temperature...which had a challenge which i sort of joined in. i lasted for 10 mins before my brain said nope.
He should have a translator with him or try to learn the language its awkward for everyone when you just speak stright English expecting them to understand
its just because english is a pretty worldy known language, i do agree he shouldve atleast attempted to use some kind of app instead of expecting him to know english but alot of residents in tokyo/seoul know basic english
Nobby Heads Well... me personally when I went to Korea i learned basic korean and atleast always had my translator available on my phone, also its very very obvious when a non english person is talking about you so dont think you are hiding it well, even more so for russians/europeans
Nobby Heads Well at least you've found a way of pretending you're superior to others.
@Giovanni V All humans are expected to know it, but not necessarily to understand it.
Its in everyone's interest to know english, after all we have more money and the better country
I can honestly say that I didn't know this was a thing.
The amount of mangas in the first hotel there just make me so happy
This is epic, love your videos! They help me get through quarantine
I prefer the $60 room, not a fan of how the $20 room is designed it being smaller is fine but it looks super dated and I prefer showers over baths. But, the free breakfast is also a nice touch for the $20 room.
"Bah humbug" damn i approve that sweatshirt bro🖒🖒
comfortbility, new word of the day.
This the first video I've ever seen of this guy and I had to subscribe bc he gives off a good vibe lmao
:) Welcome to you man! Happy to have you on our amazing side of the internet :)
That cheap capsule hotel looks like heaven compared to my ship
Bobby says : "Cheap and Expensive"
What i hear : *EXPENSIVE AND EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE*
60 bucks a night is almost nothing in America.
@@squidletdos6624 FR, like if I need an impromptu place to spend the night, I'm gonna guess I need to drop 70-150 bucks per night
Since my friend's dad works 4 a business, the company pays for the hotels.
They go to hotels that charge like $2000 a night...
Those capsules are crazy. They don't look very comfy but there pretty dope
If I have a bunch of kids this is my inspiration. Thanks Capsule Hotels!
this guy looks like the brother in The Croods😹
Yeah 😂😂😂😂
I would pick the $60 capsule because it has more space
Your vids are so easy to watch. I mean they're too cool for school. Vicariously enjoying Japan.
You are literally living all of my dreams lmaoooo but i will deffff get the more expensive capsule hotel, looks much more cozy and more private. I can honestly see myself hanging out in the capsule all day, watching movies or getting work done
Staff *:* *sleeps in bunk beds*
I like how he's disappointed in the expensive one because it's too small. In a capsule hotel. What.
I’m *fr* late, but he meant the hotel as a whole, not the room.
@@veuliie still no reason to complain? its in the name lol
@@_splix I'm used to sleeper trains so the expensive wins. The cheapest capsule hotel is on par with second class sleeper cabins in Europe while the expensive one is very similar to the Amtrak Roomette.
@@HBC101TVStudios very cool
3:48 when you realize the door says employees only and the “hot tub” says Green tea
Cheap is definitely the way I would go.
Bobby any capsule for couples? Can u make a video about, i want visit Japan with my wife thank you great video
Most, if not, all capsule hotels I know about in Tokyo are separated by gender.
@@wowdude999 also if 2 people have sex in a capsule all the oother capsules will feel it
Check out the tokyo kiba hotel, a capsule hotel that has capsules for couples
when i heard capsule I immediately thought of dragon Ball z
All right I’m sold. Your videos are so good and I find them relaxing as well, subbed my good sir.
Personaly I'm a bigger fan of the expensive one because I like that room space.
We need that for the homeless 20$ a day cool
arturo garcia they’d destroy the place easy. Just look at California. They take sh*ts right in front of businesses all the time.
If it wasn’t for the mind set, it probably would be a great idea, but Americans feel that ‘it’s their job so I can do whatever I want’ so they feel they deserve to trash businesses (hotels included there) Where as the Japanese feel they are only owed the service they buy, not the employee’s labor to fix their trash, so they have a much higher respect than Americans. At least that’s how I think it is.
Norinia 100% that’s how it is unfortunately
I always wanted to stay in one, but my snore sounds like a motorboat
I've had an ons with a guy one night and he woke me up and told me to stop snoring. I feel so miserable because I have this sleep apnea... I mean how do I stop it? I wish I knew! I tried not to sleep so hard but damn... I slipped back to the Dreamland
@@kim7990 not sure, mostly sleep apnea happens on people who are overweight(like me), but in my case i had a problem whereas i had polyp on one side of the nose thus contribute to the sleep apnea, my body always feel unenergized and i kept feeling sleepy during the day,
Cheaper seemed the more interesting & funky option. Sleeping/capsule the expensive one was by far better. For all else, the cheap one seemed more fun and functional. A lot would depend on how much you were asleep or awake.
Finaly another capsule hotel video love these videos livving Bobby your great man always waiting for these videos to drop keep it up 💪💯😤
