A capsule hotel (カプセルホテル kapuseru hoteru)
is a type of hotel, developed in Japan, that features a large number of
extremely small "rooms" (capsules) intended to provide cheap and basic
overnight accommodation for guests not requiring the services offered by
more conventional hotels.
This style of hotel accommodation was developed in Japan and has not
gained popularity outside of the country, although Western variants
known as "pod hotels"[2] with larger accommodations and often private baths are being developed.
The first capsule hotel to open was the Capsule Inn Osaka, designed by Kisho Kurokawa and located in the Umeda district of Osaka. It opened in 1979.[7][8]
