Experience of the stay
About transportation: Take the Haneda Airport Monorail for 25 minutes directly to Hamamatsucho Station, and then it’s about a 3-minute walk to Nine Hours Hamamatsucho (9 hours sleep laboratory hotel Hamamatsucho). After spending one night here, I plan to choose this place for the first day after landing on my subsequent trips to Tokyo.
About the hotel space: In addition to convenient transportation and the view of the Tokyo Tower from the rooftop terrace, the hotel has electronic card keys that separate the floors for men and women, including a first floor with about 10 separated wet and dry bathroom areas, a third floor for storing personal luggage (locked with an electronic card key; a 28-inch suitcase can fit, but don’t forget to ask the front desk for the lower luggage space), female capsule spaces on the 6th and 9th floors (even this area has windows with external views, isn’t that beautiful?), and a shared space for men and women on the 10th floor with a rooftop terrace.
About the room: To be honest, this is probably my first time sleeping in a real capsule pod. The pure white design made me feel completely unconfined, and the pillows and blankets were of very good quality. I guess it’s because the upper and lower levels fit so closely that even going up the stairs or turning over didn’t make any noise; the quality of the guests was also high, and the whole place was quite quiet, looking like it had Japanese female business travelers around 25-35 years old rather than tourists. I really loved it.
Experiences during the trip
Today I want to stay in Shibuya, tomorrow I want to go to Tokyo Skytree, and the day after tomorrow I have plans with friends to go to Yokohama to ride the Ferris wheel. Every night, aside from the after-parties at izakayas, whenever I have some free time, I want to explore the annual Christmas illumination spots, getting lost in the mesmerizing golden Christmas lights. After deliberating on the itinerary, it became clearer that returning to the room is only for sleeping. Since that’s the case, affordability, being solo-traveler friendly, and convenient transportation would be my top considerations.
