4) First Cabin Akasaka

If you wish to stay in the centre but are travelling on a shoestring budget, this hotel could be an option for you. Basically this is a design hostel. What the cabins (yes, the word cabin is more suited here) lack in space, they make up for in terms of practicality and style.

5) Nine Hours Woman Shinjuku

This stylish capsule hotel is Japan’s first wellness capsule hotel and is all about comfort, providing towels, slippers, a toothbrush, and something comfy to lounge in. Their ‘9h sleep fitscan’ service analyses your sleep (you don’t have to take them up on their offer). Sorry guys, this is female-only accommodation.
