I have also been dealing with this issue. There are a few channels that I always go to to calm me down or pick me up. By the way if you have stress issues my favorite channel to relax and fall asleep is "Michael Sealey" he makes sleep hypnosis videos and has specific ones for depression anxiety and so on. BTW a lot of times a lack of magnesium could be the cause of depression and anxiety. I'm not a doctor but I've seen a lot of positive outcomes online.I'm about to try supplementing with it soon. Good luck and have a wonderful day !.
Did you know he has another channel, too? He live streams different stuff there and it's not edited like this channel, but it's a nice, bite-sized version of John's full channel :) th-cam.com/channels/DsvL48jluG3tvlyurB4K3g.html
I suffer with anxiety and depression and this is the closest I can get to living a Japanese dream. I'd love to go but my sickness stops me. This channel is amazing :)
Taran Williamson to film, we made this in the off hour. We’re the only people there! Of course. No filming allowed during operation when real guests are there.
I kind of wish they had these in the United States, but I have a feeling that it would be filled with drug users and criminals that would rob the shit outta you while you slept.
Yeah, it would probably be called out for being a sexist place where incels reunite, or seen as the place where mostly gay men would go. The different behavior of western culture would make it a problematic place.
I at least wish they had them at airports. Any time a flight is delayed, cancelled, you're stuck at the airport, etc... instead of trying to find one of the 3 or so seats that DON'T have armrests so you can actually lay down on them, just pop in a capsule hotel for a nap, or for the night.
American: Japanese Capsule hotels are weird. Japanese capsule staff: At least we are cheaper, a whole lot cleaner, and 1000x safer than a cheap motel in USA.
The 'cheapness' of the American hotel could be an indication of how safe it is. When Americans say 'weird', we are referring to something out of the norm, something we aren't used to. Weird could also mean different; it doesn't have to be an insult, as you are suggesting.
I thought my love for discovering Japan from TH-cam ended when I finished almost ever episode of japanology... SO happy I found your channel! This is QUALITY documentation, so informative!
OMG, I was rewatching the capsule hotel episodes yesterday (and the night train episode, my fav episodes)! Thank you, John, for letting me travel around Japan! Greetings for you and your wife from Italy!
@@M_Ouch He says it in the replies to Taran Williamson's comment. Quoted: "Taran Williamson to film, we made this in the off hour. We’re the only people there! Of course. No filming allowed during operation when real guests are there."
This reminds me of the enlisted men's clubs in the military. In different cities where US Forces served there were places that military men could shower sleep and get a meal away from the base or ship. Sometimes they operated on small fee depending on the location. ID was always required. They were a boon if you were away from home.
It honestly looks great and accommodating! I love watching videos like these. I think, Both women and men would enjoy this, there shouldn't be a stigma around it being only for men because women like doing exactly the same thing. Its a matter of comfort and safety and i think women would probably feel safer around an only women capsule hotel and spa.
I would feel super uncomfortable sharing a #2 dumper with a female. The concept of females taking a dump would make me scarred for life. It's just something I can't reconcile :)
John, this has to be one of my favorite videos of yours. I haven’t been to Japan in about 15 years and then I was so busy with work that I never got to experience old school Japanese culture. Videos like this make me want to come back on a vacation.
different cultures. The Japanese are respectful. Something like this would get torn apart by rude guests. Those mangas would get stolen. People would sneak food in. And forget about that strict no talking policy.
Actually this July I was in New York a few days for Miku Expo 2018 and I stayed at a place similar to this. Men only, communal areas, tiny rooms just big enough for a bed, etc... When I travel I only need a place to sleep and shower so such places are the best.
I like the idea of all women's or all men's hotels. I want to be able to let loose in an environment suited just for me, not have to worry about guys peeping at me. Just doing girl stuff, and hanging with the girls, or just keeping to myself. Heck let the men do their thing and the women do theirs. I see no problem in it. There are plenty of other hotels out there to satisfy the people that don't like it.
Sharon E Sadly in the west the opposite is true for men only anything. I wouldn't want pervy women peeping at me and trying to take over. Stifling the fun and male vibe going round so these sound great but sadly in the west for men these wouldn't be allowed.
Gambit771 I know what your saying, and yes your right it's stupid. If it's not holding anyone back in advancing in life then why the heck not. Of course I'm not in business so it don't bother me when men are all together doing their thing or visa versa for women. If its business that's needing to be done save it for the office as for rest and relaxation let's just keep the peepers separated.
All this information about the location, and how nice this is needs to be in a book for when a ron of foreigners visit Japan in 2020. Your first hand experiances both good and bad will help people navigate though Japan easier
There probably will be problems and I am sure they will scale up general protection, etc. . Foreigners also will be surprised how different the culture can be.
The first time I visited Japan, I stayed in a capsule-style hostel, the Khaosan Ninja near Asakusabashi. It was fun. They had a common area with a kitchen and beer vending machines! But now that I'm older I prefer to stay in a more traditional hotel with a communal bath, if available. The Khaosan Ninja was demolished in 2016, I believe.
John your videos are the best! I learned so much about Japan that my students wonder why I know these things. I just tell them, "I watch Only in Japan videos, you should watch them too!" Love from the Philippines.
I would say work is just a part of living, you can't separate each of one. And work is not viewed as westerns way(at least for old people). It is a process that continues until you can't do anymore, and we wish so...
Gasper Kosmac it’s changing a little. Workers go home early on Wednesday and on Friday, it’s almost law that people have to be let out early - to help the economy. If people don’t have time to shop, they can’t buy anything! haha!
So I’m walking down the Street market passed the capsule hotel and my brother says “hey look, a men’s only capsule hotel” I looked at it and went “woulda know... that looks really familiar for a TH-cam video I watched... wait... That’s the one from Only in Japan!” Sure enough we changed hotels and stayed there the rest of our trip. Thanks John!
You know what's crazy? You have done a video on everything I'm fascinated with when it comes to Japan: street food, onsens, anime but I still haven't seen a video about things related to Samurai. Maybe a tour of a museum dedicated to Samurai stuff? I'd love to see it!
Andy Au one video view few people saw was the Fukushima Martial Arts episode learning Naginata in “Samurai City” th-cam.com/video/TqKb-UnDfvs/w-d-xo.html TH-cams algorithm didn’t seem to like to suggest it to people but it’s one of the fun ones! Aizu Wakamatsu City is amazing and this was a way to see it. But I’d love to do one on the Code of the Samurai in the near future. Look for it around winter :)
Holy Mother of Ramen.. This is (capsule hotel)the first video I have seen in 2015. Since then I wanna be there. Part of you daily vlogs since the beginning of 2017 also.great job as always John.
I'm heading to Tokyo next summer, and I'll be sure to use this channel intensively to prepare for it. Accommodation was my chief concern, and I must admit I had a bit of a poor opinion on capsule hotels, but seeing this makes me think it's probably the best option for me. That way I can save my money or Tokyo's famous nightlife. Keep on keeping on!
My year long trip in Japan starts this October and you guys keep adding things to my list. A year is just not long enough. Keep it up :) btw this is so going to be my first capsule hotel experience :P
my favorite capsule was a nihombashi muromachi capsule hotel. it was not as decked out as something like this spa one, but it was really lovely and just fine for the needs of my friend and me when we visited the city.
The video quality is excellent, I do these full screen. So sharp and clear. Also adore the humor bits, the cold bath had me giggling! Your new sidekick (didn't catch his name) is nice. Use him again. Most enjoyable episode. You always make my day. Yes, I would use a Women Only cap hotel. Not a problem. This one has a vintage feel to it, I like that.
Shingo! He’s from the LET’S PLAY JAPAN channel. Always love having him on the show :) Shunta is the name of the man from the capsule hotel. Super fun team!
Overnight his and hers saunas, baths (no sleeping capsule) but with lounge chairs and quiet rooms have been common all over in J-Land for many, many, years. This is a new twist.
Not so sure as a tourist if it makes sense to stay there with a large luggage, but it would make sense if you worked in the area you can just stay there overnight and return to work in the morning on the cheap instead of commuting back home.
There's plenty of very different cities in the USA. Also in China. Also in Japan. Also, China and Japan have entirely different histories and cultures, even in their most metropolitan cities of Shanghai vs Tokyo.
I'm going to Japan this September and had a Hostel booked for 5 days in Tokyo, but after seeing this and the price I changed to this Capsule hotel. I can't wait to go here.
Places to crash in Japan under $40 a night? Sold. It has everything you will need to shower, eat. Relax, sleep and wake up fresh the following day. How does it work if a person wants to stay multiple days? Do they have lockers to hold your belongings while you venture out? Great video.
After hearing from friends (and you john!) that there was a hotel crunch in tokyo, this is a great alternative to look into :) I'm looking to travel around Osaka when I take a trip to Japan, but my friend wants to be in tokyo for so many days before we move on lol. We can probably stay longer on our budget if we aim for places like this
man that part where you can just drag a mattress near the manga shelves, pick your favorite reads and read away until you fell asleep really makes me want to try a night at this place
Considering the hotel crunch, please show other options available to visitors - short term or otherwise and show what it would be like to stay there. Karaoke bars, manga cafes, hostels, other lesser known places. Can you overnight at the airport?
panathenaea you can stay overnight at any airport, but it’s not super comfortable. I’m saving that for when I get trapped with a canceled flight in winter. It’s much more fun when there’s nothing else you can do except film it. I’ve always made a video on Manga Cafes and staying there. It’s a fun one! th-cam.com/video/z1CqqvAlKVs/w-d-xo.html
If you're at Narita airport, there's a capsule hotel called "Nine Hours" which is located within Terminal 2. I'll be trying it for the first time next month since I have a 16-hour layover in Japan.
Do you think this Capsule Hotel is for you? (It's certainly not for everyone!) Leave me your thoughts below?
ONLY in JAPAN 7th comment IDK
It's nice, and where it's located it very convient. Gotta visit this place when I head to Japan in 2020
its awesome ! . hi from indonesia john . 😁
Relaxing
ONLY in JAPAN relaxing and calm

Or maybe that policy is for night only
that's so me lol

I kind of wish they had these in the United States, but I have a feeling that it would be filled with drug users and criminals that would rob the shit outta you while you slept.
Silly they DO have these .in the US, they are know as GAY BATH HOUSES !!!
@@ragemodels Excuse me, but are you gay?
Yeah, it would probably be called out for being a sexist place where incels reunite, or seen as the place where mostly gay men would go.
The different behavior of western culture would make it a problematic place.
I at least wish they had them at airports. Any time a flight is delayed, cancelled, you're stuck at the airport, etc... instead of trying to find one of the 3 or so seats that DON'T have armrests so you can actually lay down on them, just pop in a capsule hotel for a nap, or for the night.
SkyWolfAlpha yeah this would probably be the only do-able was place in the US they would possibly work.
American: Japanese Capsule hotels are weird.
Japanese capsule staff: At least we are cheaper, a whole lot cleaner, and 1000x safer than a cheap motel in USA.
Ain't that the unfiltered truth.
The 'cheapness' of the American hotel could be an indication of how safe it is. When Americans say 'weird', we are referring to something out of the norm, something we aren't used to. Weird could also mean different; it doesn't have to be an insult, as you are suggesting.
Not all Americans hate everything that is different from what were used to
@Chris Green So, we are different? Lol, I concur.
on point!
The idea that grumpy, aging, japanese workaholic men stay in a capsule hotel to read manga all night is amusing to me.
Probably reading Gogo 13
@rustytr There's always that one curious person calling everyone else gay >.>
no one I agree It’s always the ones in denial who insult others the most
@@psyhense He's saving you guys by calling you gay. This way the wrong-think police won't get you fired or murder you for being hetero. Be grateful

I love that John says “and watch your favorite show” and pulls up his channel
Not gonna lie, I want a mini fortresses
MINI FORTRESS!!! That should be the title :)
Even full grown men need their mini fortress to unwind. Your man cave, away from home
Every man needs a mini fortress
Same here
Who thought it so cute when he got the manager to join in the video 🙋♂️🙋♂️
That hand crossing was golden
”there’s a strict no talking rules in the capsule”
Gets into capsule and talks loudly.
He got permission to film when no one was in the capsules

How to say that's enough beer in Japanes: "wo.. WOOOO"
I’m literally dying of laughter of this
Strictly no talking as people are sleeping when the curtain is drawn....then goes on to talk about the size of the capsual waking up his roomys...
The capsule hotel was probably closed for that day and he got permission to make the video thus being able to talk.
He said in the livestream they were closed for renovation I believe.
LMAO, was thinking the same thing.
Lol, I'm watching this late but I said the same thing
Clay Tall Stories then bangs on ladder
"Women Only" for me! It's nice for men and for women to have time apart among their own gender in a world that has become almost entirely co-ed. :-)
I'm here currently and that fact is being used as a good excuse to keep the restrooms in a disgusting state.
Indeed!
Hkyeng Naw doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to try and relax should they ?
I would feel super uncomfortable sharing a #2 dumper with a female. The concept of females taking a dump would make me scarred for life. It's just something I can't reconcile :)

My God look what all you get for $40.00 you cant even stay in a crack motel in America for that much less have all of that luxury
Lee Morgan The state of USA business hotels is a bit raunchy for the price.
different cultures. The Japanese are respectful. Something like this would get torn apart by rude guests. Those mangas would get stolen. People would sneak food in. And forget about that strict no talking policy.
CRACK IS WACK....
True
INDIA probably is not as technically advanced and developed as Japan, but 40$ can do quite more than that in India (maybe even in luxury hotels) .
shingo's english is excellent
Awsomiihill I second this!
No way! I thought he was a native!
Wait.. He isnt a native speaker?!? He sounds American
yeah i got confused too tbh
He sounds like the type of japanese who studies abroad for years
Sadly this would never work in the US.
I could see it working in or around an airport for stopovers or if your flight gets delayed or cancelled.
Some airports have pods like that, but they're self contained with a wet bath, so there's no social area.
Actually this July I was in New York a few days for Miku Expo 2018 and I stayed at a place similar to this. Men only, communal areas, tiny rooms just big enough for a bed, etc... When I travel I only need a place to sleep and shower so such places are the best.

You inspired me to go to college overseas to Japan so thank you

I'm going to Japan this September and had a Hostel booked for 5 days in Tokyo, but after seeing this and the price I changed to this Capsule hotel. I can't wait to go here.
Places to crash in Japan under $40 a night? Sold. It has everything you will need to shower, eat. Relax, sleep and wake up fresh the following day. How does it work if a person wants to stay multiple days? Do they have lockers to hold your belongings while you venture out? Great video.
I’m a women and I’d like to try a capsule hotel experience! Also loved the video very informative and entertaining Best capsule hotel video!
Yeah. A great place to get some time away from the family for a while.
if we had these in the us i would be so sketchy
I wish there were more man only places in the world. Great idea.
After hearing from friends (and you john!) that there was a hotel crunch in tokyo, this is a great alternative to look into :) I'm looking to travel around Osaka when I take a trip to Japan, but my friend wants to be in tokyo for so many days before we move on lol. We can probably stay longer on our budget if we aim for places like this
Just be ready and do some research because most capsule hotels will have you checking out and back in if you plan on staying multiple nights.
man that part where you can just drag a mattress near the manga shelves, pick your favorite reads and read away until you fell asleep really makes me want to try a night at this place
"Exclusively NO talking in the sleeping pods"
As soon as he lays down..
"WOW UHAH"
This one is way nicer than the one I stayed at in Tokyo
I’d stay here any day
7:22 ... Well so much for that strict no talking policy.
Keep up the great work been watching you since 2015 please never stop😭💯 you make Tokyo feel so alive
lol 15 degree's C? *Laughs in Nunavut*
Wheres our ladies version? Id never leave lol I love how happy he looks when he's sitting in the spa
Considering the hotel crunch, please show other options available to visitors - short term or otherwise and show what it would be like to stay there. Karaoke bars, manga cafes, hostels, other lesser known places. Can you overnight at the airport?
panathenaea you can stay overnight at any airport, but it’s not super comfortable. I’m saving that for when I get trapped with a canceled flight in winter. It’s much more fun when there’s nothing else you can do except film it. I’ve always made a video on Manga Cafes and staying there. It’s a fun one! th-cam.com/video/z1CqqvAlKVs/w-d-xo.html
If you're at Narita airport, there's a capsule hotel called "Nine Hours" which is located within Terminal 2. I'll be trying it for the first time next month since I have a 16-hour layover in Japan.
Thanks for creating this video! I actually spent a night here from after watching this.
