One of the best capsule hotels that I’ve ever stayed in Japan. It contains everything a TV. The location is just near the Himeji station. The shower and toilet are clean. You can get extra towels for free. The common space where you can get free drinks.

Booked solo for overnight stay to leave for Kinosaki onsen the next morning. Kind staff and had little occupancy. First time capsule hotel and very happy with experience of shared amenities. Infront of the beds are cable locks provided for luggage and bags.

They don’t have luggage storage despite claiming to on booking websites, kind of the minimum I would expect from a hostel.

Wearing slippers instead of shoes is great for reducing noise at night. When I stayed in a capsule where shoes were required, I was disturbed by the loud noise of people walking in platform shoes late at night or early in the morning. The toilet and bathroom were clean and comfortable, but the shower room was a bit dark, so I think it would be better if the walls were painted a lighter color or had cute wallpaper.

Nice capsule hotel, the entrance is not very obvious. The only downside is the thin mattress, sleeping on the side is a bit uncomfortable but on the back its ok. You have a lock for your luggage right in front of your bed and a small locker inside the capsule so it was very convenient in that aspect.

I booked a single room for 1 night and was assigned room 801. This room is considered a "premium" room as you have your own private space instead of sleeping in a capsule. I must say that I'm quite amazed that I was given 3 pillows and they were extremely comfortable! However there is no lock on the room yet you can store your things in the small cabinet using your room key. However I'm not sure if the heater is not working or something, the room was extremely cold at night! Nonetheless, i will say this hostel is a good stay as it is very close to the train station.

A short walk along Ekimaecho leads to iccyoura for casual Japanese meals quantities and Shokusaiya Usagi for set lunches. For a proper dinner, Nihonshu to Kushiage Kura specializes in sake and kushikatsu skewers, and Shusentei Nadakiku Kappa-tei serves hearty teishoku.
