Coffin Hotel in Tokio

Capsule hotels in Japan are popular with local businessmen who miss the last subway home at night, or are too drunk to make it home on their own.
Gangsters, students use them, and low-budget travellers use them too.
One night sleepover? Just pay around US$30. Tiny sleeping capsule with flat-screen televisions inside.





These rooms can be seen in the movies The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift and Gung Ho. They were also used as a basis for sets in the film The Fifth Element. They also appear in the cyberpunk novel Neuromancer under the name of "coffin hotel."
