Fantastic
who gets the top pod?
I remember here in California motels would discount rooms for a few hours handy for the working homeless
Been to the one in Kyoto. You can stay up to 17 hours.
I keep telling my friends about this and they never believe me lol
I love the way everything is designed, so clean and modern, looks super futuristic. Wish we had design like that in the UK!
I couldn't stomach this myself. There is no privacy, & rest time outside of work is about freedom, so this would make me feel like a Jew in Nazi Germany - "YOU HAVE ONLY SEVEN HOURS FOR SLEEP! SCHNELL!!... NOW YOU HAVE ONLY ONE HOUR LEFT!"
Cool concept bro, but I need 9hrs for sleep, not 7!
IVE BEEEN HERE! you could stay for 12 hours. it was a very odd experience....even odder to stumble upon it a week later.
You set your own alarm clock, and you are awakened gently by the light turning on, first dimly, then slowly brightening. Remember that Japan is a crowded country, and its people needs to make the most of available space. One can stay up to 17 hours in "9hrs"; the name came from the expected "average" stay. I don't think it will work in the US because of all the laws concerning handicapped access.
Didn't I see this place on a spaceship in The 5th Element?
This is definitely something from The 5th Element...
where's the tv, shock horror
GOOD JOB JAPAN !!! keep those worker droids going!
Are couples allowed to sleep in a pod together?
Who showers for an hour!?
