*For some reason my comment has disappeared so I will comment again. 🏨 I asked the hotel staff if trans women could stay at this hotel. Official documents such as passports must be female to stay at this hotel. Is there too much pink?

Looks like STH out of a black mirror episode. Personally when I travel alone, I chose youth hostels and make friends. This is a very lonely experience. Maybe great if you're super tired and don't want to interract..
@@kro0018 or if you are on a budget! i personally think this is great! short vacation time means you willl spend most of the time outside your hotel, so just a place to shower and sleep for cheap sounds great! and this place is super cute too!
@@kro0018 some women may also feel uncomfortable being in a mixed gender accommodation because of trauma. This is a good option for women like myself who would feel more comfortable being in a women’s only accommodation. Plus it’s fairly cheap too
@@kro0018 That's just the first impression. I've stayed at quite a few capsule hotels all around Japan and if there are people around, you can always find someone to have a nice conversation with. But it's also cheap and extremely clean which is not what I've experienced from youth hostels.
@@elenalizabeth if you love gender segregation so much why don’t you go to a Muslim country? Go to Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia or something tell me if you like it you will be scared all the time actually 🙄😑
@@kiahmadison8541 The dividing is not sexism, but the dividing is necessary for some women to feel safe and also to be safe. The dividing is the response to sexism, not the sexism itself. Or are you saying that certain things are sexism that are supposed to bring the sexes closer together (meaning have the same rights) like laws, for example, that if there’s a leadership position and two candidates, a man and a woman, have the same qualifications, that the woman has to be choosen, that’s for the same reason, because the last thousand of years was the other way around that in such a case the man was always taken and even today men are still often preffered, when both people are able to do the same thing or the woman even more, so nowadays there are still almost only men in the top floor. These laws and a women-only hotel, for example, are meant to make our world less sexist, not more.
@@odil2476 Perhaps teach men not to attack women not teach women to behave in a fearful way. The single gender hotel reinforces this. Yes it's not an ideal world but it causes division . As I said there is security in most capsule hotels.You are more likely to be attacked on a train. As far as the statement about two people having the same qualifications there is a simple solution. Base your decision on personality and not gender. Yes it would be great if there were more women in top positions but not if everybody hates them or they do a terrible job while they have their position. Very few people liked Margaret Thatcher once she was voted in and she caused strikes and chaos.
Me and a friend stayed here for 2 nights in 2018 and had a great experience. It was so nice to stay in a place where we felt safe, was very affordable and so close to many things to do in Akihabra. Wish this type of opportunity was available for women all over the world.
How was your experience going with a friend? Asking since I'd like to go with a friend but it seems like a bit of an individualistic experience since you'd be in separate capsules and stuff
@@abril3873 when planning our trip to Japan, my friend knew that I really wanted the experience of staying in a capsule hotel so she was totally fine with it. I was in the top capsule and she was in the one below me so we still felt connected weirdly enough and once in our capsule ( which was only to sleep) we could still text each other. On our trip we made sure to do experiences that we both wanted to experience and communicated our needs and wants and planned everything around that. Plus it was only for 2 nights on a 2 week trip.
@@LilithsCosmicLounge Yes, we are still friends. We have traveled to other places together too. We most definitely would do so again in the future. We were actually going again in April 2020 but due to the pandemic and lockdown that did not happen. When we are able to we will be travelling together again. It is a very great thing to find a person whom you can travel with and stay such good friends. I also would be very, very comfortable going to Japan on my own and stay in this capsule hotel again.

We have women-only train cars in our local trains here in Mumbai, India. It definitely makes women feel a lot more safe and comfortable while commuting.
sadly I think a lot of people would make issue of it, not to say just men (but mostly men) like WHY do they get an only women's hotel/why not a mens, why do they need one are you saying we're dangerous, ect. ect. -- though I live in america and believe that'd go down as such but I truly wish :(
I love this hotel - everything's clean and modern, and only like $22 a night? That's amazing. Having no shower/bathroom in your own hotel room is no issue to me if there are no guys around. Are the front desk people women as well? Edit - oh my goodness, a place to sit and style your hair after your shower, too? This is awesome!
Actually I just found out that most capsule hotel in Japan is MEN-ONLY because they target businessmen only? So this is a really pleasant and nice change!!!
Yes, capsule hotels were originally created for busy workers. These days, people stay for a variety of purposes, but most capsule hotels in Japan are still exclusively for men. Thank you!☺️🌸✨
This has got to be one of the most cutest and cleanest hotels in general let alone a women's only I think I've ever seen This is the standard that all women hotels needs to be It looks like it just opened, it's beautiful
@@bitmes2910 Women’s only capsule hotel in Japan are not only in pink. This is just one place. Other ones are not pink though it’s the same group owned by a same company. There’re other ones owned by other companies throughout Japan for women only. And they are not in pink but catered to women, not men. If you look at modern capsule hotels catered to men, they’re also very clean. Go take a look there’re some videos.
@@canaryinacoalmine7267 Thanks for your comment! We also reviewed men-only capsule hotels☺️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NDWTLfqqL5U.html
@@canaryinacoalmine7267 I do understand, but you got your equality. Men have men only hotels, & women have women only hotels. Everything is equal and everyone is happy.
I heard that there was a manga Cafe for only women that was shut down because of men stalking and waiting outside for the women to come out.. :( I hope places like these will become more normalized in Japan to keep women safe..
Okay, that’s just creepy and fucked up. Imagine just chilling and you see a bunch of guys looking through the window, waiting for you or any women to come out. Sounds like a horror story.
@@bellebonebag8096 that is horrible.. What a terrible world we live in, and people really have the audacity to ask me why I'm scared of men and people over all?
I stayed at a back packers for both men and women. I said hello to a drunk dude and he followed me to my room asking if he can spend the night in my room. It’s creepy and I think more places like this should be build.
Many years ago in North Italy a serial killer travelled by train and killed several women, murdering them into the toilet. His name is still famous, donato bilancia
@@imnothere5801 Aside from the fact that other women only capsule hotels aren’t in pink, the color pink is said to rejuvenate and keep women young according to some Japanese psychologists. And this kind pink is calming.
im arab so i'm used to have only women's public facilities like gyms, hair salons, spas, cafes, parks and even taxis but i never saw an only women hotel! that's very nice idea i like the vibe of this hotel also it's very cute and fresh i wonder why no one thought of this idea here
@@riorio745 This is called Capsule Hotel, it’s another category in Japan. We have regular Hotel. They’re not the same. We don’t have hostels as it’s very strange to share a room with strangers and no one wants to share a room with strangers like a dorm outside of schools. Adults don’t want to share a room with strangers. Way too strange for most Japanese.
The safety and support that I feel from women- only places is astronomical. I was in a women-only dorm in college and it was a nice experience having nothing but love and support rather than distraction as I go through my studies
Us women need more places like this where we can feel safe and comfortable, and not just hotels but maybe trains, gyms,cabs, restaurants, etc. This place looks so nice and relaxing!❤️
@@rose_studios8674 how was what I said mean? Edit: I have reviewed my comment and it was not mean at all. I just stated a fact. I am not offended by your comment nor should you be by mine. I would add however, that i think we should be cautious about wanting segregated restaurants as that could result in men holding company meetings at male only restaurants which would make it harder for women to go up the career ladder. For the record, i 100% agree with hostels being one gender, especially since in Japan there are already men only ones, and it's only fair to have the same for women.
@@tagaukimasumi7818 y'know white people said the same thing about black people not being able to eat in "their" lunch counters. Nobody is being protected by a women only restaurant. That being said hotels are a different story.
There are so many reasons why I love Japan! A pink themed, woman's only hotel is one of those reasons!💕 I just love how roomy and comfortable those kimono style pajamas are, and the color rose matched your nails!❤ I need to find a pair of those pajamas for me!
I love this so much! Like other people here have said, it would be very nice to see women-only hotels throughout the world. It would make traveling so much safer for the solo ladies & friends
More places like this need to built. Traveling alone as a woman should not be as scary as it is, and if that means we need to make our own hotels then so be it.
Imagine if the creators of this hotel bcomes rich and the Women-Only hotel becomes WORLDWIDE. I'd live there lol. Pink is everything 💫 and safety? Count us in
If you need women-only hotels to feel "comfortable", then travelling alone is not for you. Travelling alone is for adventure, and there is no point to it just extending your home to another country.
@@oqeufh I didn't say it is wrong to want to travel in a safe way. I am saying it is pointless to travel and expect your destination to be just like home. Plus travelling solo is not for everyone. Especially not for people who are not prepared to handle unexpected scenarios and can only feel safe in a protected zone. Solo travelling is no joke and if you can't take the real world. Don't do it.
@@oqeufh also, most places are already safe as they are without women-only hotels. Are you seriously surprised that all reputable hotels already don't allow harassment on their premises without being women-only? But nothing can be done for percieved danger. Plus women-only hotels are not necessary safer since they will be high-target area for women-related crimes.
i stayed there in 2019 for 4 nights and i loved it! i felt very safe as a solo traveller. i loved the amenities bag and the shower/beauty room! + the location was really good and close to the subway station, 100% recommend staying there
Hi! I'm a girl who is planning on a solo trip to Japan (I've been saving for one year and plan on working another year before starting my travel to Japan). Do you have any advice since you experienced this personally?
Literally, it wouldn't work, space costs a lot, so, minimising your potential customer base means less potential profit. Everything is about money, if it isn't financially profitable in a short period of time, it won't be worth the cost.
@@annoyingginger5077 It depends. Such segmentation of potential clients can reduce expenses for adverts and increase loyalty, sales and income. Otherwise female magazines, female taxi, women's hairdressing salons and other types of businesses oriented to female wouldn't work. Female hotels have big potential really.
@@yuliaf5038 but only in the right locations, cities would be best but even then it has to be a prime spot in the right city. Cities prime for tourism would be hit or miss due to people often wanting to stay with their group, but Cities known for business would probably do best
@@annoyingginger5077 yes, sure, that's why I said, it depends. Strategy, money, business plan, location, design and so on, all above are important and should be observed carefully as in any business.
@@Milkythefawn not to mention, a lot of capsule hotels are male only, so a female only one isn't even that special or exceptional or 'women segrating themselves' since men literally did it first lmao
I love channels like these where the people who make the videos just show places in Japan with no commentary, just subtitles :) something about it is really relaxing
This might be a weird thing to notice, but out of all the Japanese hotel videos I've watched, this was the first time I've seen one that had shoe lockers in front with slippers inside them. Considering how much it has been ingrained into Japanese culture to have separate sets of shoes for indoors and out, I'm surprised more hotels don't do this; the slippers are usually found by the bed
Actually in Japan, in most hotels it’s kept by the entrance of a room which is right by the bathroom usually or near the coat hanger. Hotels are western facilities therefore we walk in with shoes as it’s a lobby and hallways etc. Only when you walk inside a room we take off shoes. And outside of the US, even in a country like Canada, we take off our shoes at the entrance. It’s very weird to see Americans just walk into a home with shoes on or watch TV with shoes on, it’s not that way in many countries in the West like UK, Spain, France, where I also live we take off our shoes when we are invited into another home. Otherwise moms usually scold us even visitors.
@@thatonegamer2921 Only in the US they don’t take off their shoes. I’ve also lived in the US and they walk around living room and dining room with outside shoes. It’s unthinkable for me.
This capsule hotel looks so cute! Definitely somewhere I'd love to stay for a night or two when I visit Tokyo! 🌸🌸🌸 I wish women-only hotels were everywhere 🥲
I stayed here in 2018 with a friend!! It was sooo cute, such a good experience. And the front desk attendants were the sweetest women, made us feel very welcomed
I’m glad that such a place exists so that women can be more comfortable and safe. It’s extremely unfortunate that it has to exist but am well unaware why it is needed. We need more here in the US. I also love the idea of a women only car on a train. The amount of times I’ve been harassed or bothered by a strange man throughout the years while taking the subway, I can literally write a novel. It’s unfortunate that I’m always carrying now.
Would never happen in 🇺🇸 you’d have lawsuits galore especially from 6ft5in Twomen banging on the door of the hotel to be let in. Very progressive society.
The problem is that women can victimize other women so claiming it's "safe" does not mean it is. Women DO harass and bother other women, women steal, women assault, women rape and women kill.
That seems like an amazing place to get away and be safe if your a woman suffering domestic abuse by a man as they wouldn't be allowed to come in and surely security would be called to remove them this is smart and cute too well done Japan for making an amazing place to stay
@@AOI_SATO I mean Im a woman who likes women so yea true didn't think about that I guess they would stop them from entering regardless of gender if you tell them who is harassing you even if it is a woman
I love how it’s perfect for those that spontaneously want to spend the night since it provides you with everything needed. Great for a weekend trip away.
6:21 The caption in this time-stamp made my heart warm. It's saddening that there is a need to create women-only spaces in order for them to feel safe, but at least it's nice to know girls can "escape" from the harsh reality and feel comfortable in places like these.
As a European, who can only say a few basic sentences in Japanese and otherwise can't speak and read it, I'm really happy that almost everything is there in English. Otherwise I think I would have been completely thrown out. I've heard that not many Japanese can speak English, so this is really well done. What I would personally be interested in is, how do you do that when you're hungry, go to a konbini and then can't speak Japanese.Can the cashiers and employees speak English and if not, what do you do if, for example, you are looking for something and then need help? Nevertheless, I find the idea of going to a capsule hotel designed for women only very good. I believe, it feels very safe there. Unfortunately, capsule hotels doesn't exist in Germany
Due to the coronavirus, accounting should not be too much of a problem since language selectable reimbursement machines are now in widespread use. (Sorry I don't speak English, I use a translation application.)
I'm certain that many more Japanese can speak English than English-speaking tourists can speak Japanese. I'm sure it's the same as travelling to any country that speaks another language; learn basic phrases, have either a little book or phone app that can help, use gestures, etc.
@@emilyb.8219 well actually the truth of this is that about 97% of Japanese natives aren’t actually confident at becoming a fluent English speaker, which is one of the top 5 or 10 least confident English speakers in Asia.
As a fellow European, I'm actually glad capsule hotels don't exist. Living in a coffin-like space is something I feel dehumanising, @2:40 looks like the niches at my local cemetery. It's claustrophobic. No sunlight, no windows for fresh air. I don't care about having TV screens or integrated technology, I don't need that stuff. Cramming people in impossible spaces. And they make money out of that. Sorry, but no. I don't want this to come to our culture.
looks more like a little self serve spa! I would love to go soooo bad, can't believe they have a powder room with so many amenities, thanks for the video! so glad they do this kind of hotels so we girls can be relax that we are safe :)
I've stayed here two different times and both times were great. I was able to request no cleaning on the first day of my second stay period as i explained i was severely jetlagged and didnt mind the noise from cleaning. The staff are amazing and i love the idea of just paying for a bed so that i can do my own thing during the day!
I've stayed in this Capsule hotel, it was really nice but the only thing that I didn't like it was the very thin mattress (I've stayed in other capsule hotels before and the mattresses were a bit thicker and very comfortable to sleep on) which I woke up with my body aching a lot, I asked at reception for another mattress to put on top of the other one but they didn't have it so they gave me a thin blanket instead which made no difference, so I just bent the mattress in half so I could sleep better, not the best experience sleeping. The rest of the hotel was nice though, the bathroom and the lounge were clean and the staff was friendly.
@@mebeb6399 No, both are sexist. And it's not a matter of safety, that's just dumb. If you feel unsafe around men then it sounds like a you problem. ShOwS yOuR tRuE nAtUrE.
@@anonymous-cx7ng Don't worry, I never asked you to stay in the same room with me. However if that's the case then you don't need a wome's only hotel, you need a you only hotel.
It is splendid and much needed. I hope it will stay in business for many years. There should be this option, when travelling, everywhere, literally EVERYWHERE, in the world.
Looks so cute, even for people like me who dont like pink that much. LOL! I really wish more places would follow and have WOMEN ONLY spaces again. We need to take back what's ours. I love the peace this video brings. Thank you for sharing.
this is really cool. it's nice seeing women being able to have their own spaces where they can feel safe, they deserve the comfort. a very visually pleasing place as well.
That was so cute and pretty, I love it being all women, makes you feel safe. I definitely wanna visit when I get older and learn more about the culture of Japan.
This is just lovely, what a treat for hard working women especially mommies who need rest time. Surprised to not see any sleep music or water sounds, that puts me right out.
Im glad that this capsule hotel is still going great. There are few of my favourites hostels to stay in Japan, had closed because of COVID-19 😢 One day, I'll be here. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Japan and east Asia in general is a misogynist’s dream as an East Asian. They have cheap attempts to take care of women then allow little girls to be cast in s0ft p0rn videos and all0w pedophilia and the romanticism of r@p3
me and my friends have been there ! I was more satisfied with this place than the more expensive one. I hope there will be more women-only facilities. 😊
I love capsule hotels. If any Malaysians are reading this and planning to visit Japan for the first time, I recommend staying in a capsule hotel. Don’t waste money on big hotel rooms; get that experience. There are really fancy ones too; depending on your budget
I’ve stayed at two capsule hotels for women and they are amazing, they make me actually feel safer then a actual normal hotel just in general, I really think that they need to be built more around the world and very supported, maybe it is not necessary, and we can just stay at a normal hotel or capsule hotel, but a lot of women don’t feel as safe or safe in normal ones
That actually is a good idea! They should build women hotels around the world! Yes some people may feel away, but I believe that women would have a great time!✨👌
Another lovely video! This hotel looks very cute and super safe! I hope when I go to Japan I can try and stay in some of the capsule hotels you've been. They just look so interesting to me I don't know why lol
I would love to visit Japan for so many reasons. And this women's only hotel is another reason to add to the list. It looks beautiful and calming and very safe. Thank you for posting this video. I had no idea places like this existed
Thank you for your video as it helped me chose a hotel on a budget and I really enjoyed my stay there! I've stayed there for 2 weeks, the staff is super nice and some of them even speak English. A note if you stay more than one night, you still need to return your key every morning to reception and get it back in the evening so that they can clean everything but no one will touch your locker. You can just ask for the same locker number to get your key back and they will give you a fresh amenity bag with it so you dont need to worry about keeping any towels or loungewear :)
Посмотрела с большим удовольствием. Достаточно разумно делать такие отели, именно для женщин. Приятный дизайн, приглушенная цветовая гамма, в таком отеле приятно переночевать, будучи в городе по делам. Спасибо
Wonderful video! I'll keep this capsule hotel in mind when I will be able to travel to Japan again! Looks very neat and clean and I love the small details like providing different lotions, sanitary products at front desk and very importantly being able to borrow a hair straightener, they definitely know what a woman needs haha and of course the lovely pink is so appealing 🌸💕 I hope more women can get the chance to travel and stay in hotels where they feel safe!
Well these videos are most likely taken during the least busy times of the day and maybe even week, with any footage with people in it probably being cut to avoid having to censor their faces etc. Tourism is also still recovering after Covid. You are sharing a room with like 8 other people, just within a capsule, and using the sinks etc you might also be sitting there with like 10 different people. Definitely not more introverted than a regular hotel room. Still, seems pretty quiet!
Brillant what a great idea "womens only" there should be more of these around the world. The cleanliness is second to none nice to see. Love this video.💁💯
Thank you for making this video, I'm planning a trip to japan for next year and was planning on staying at this hotel. It looks really nice and with all the amenities I was looking for.
Wow, this is crazy coincidence. I stayed here in 2019 (one night, as I flew back to korea the following day). The location is amazing as it’s right behind the main street of Akihabara. The staff were friendly and it was all very well organized. The bed was a bit hard personally but if you don’t plan to stay for long in Tokyo, I can definitely recommend it! Edit: it was also nice that it was woman only, as I believe the showers were a bit away from my capsule and everyone used the robes received when walking back to their capsules. No uncomfortable stares, and it was peacefully quiet!
I saw a few comments asking about the lock/why it cant. Its just for safety reasons, one being airflow if that was a door that could lock it would be like being in a locked cupboard meaning suffocation could happen if you cant get out. Also for disasters even in other countries and larger hotel spaces you are told to unlock your door for fire fighters and if inaccessible theyd have to break through(which wouldnt be possible in a capsule style hotel).
Wow I'm surprised at how cheap the price is for such a well run place. I love how immaculately clean it is, and the capsule is a nice size. It would make me feel so safe to stay there, would love to be able to try it some day

This is such a great concept! Fascinated by capsule hotels…. Americans would feel very claustrophobic but the price is so low with so many amenities that expensive hotels in the states do not offer. I’d love to try one!
This is so nice, there should be women/men only hotels everywhere! I loved the silence too, it must be so comfortable and relaxing. Thank tou for sharing 😊
