Read a story about a Japanese man who's family had reported him missing in the mid 2000's. They found him a decade later in one of these internet cafes, he spent years in them. You can genuinely disappear into these things
@@priyachoudhary9896 i heard about that. Something about the rising costs of apartments and the population being one of the loneliest, most depressed people in the world. Crazy stuff out there.
A place like this here in my country would look nice for less than one business day Then there would be garbage on the floor, writing on the walls in the bathrooms, noisy rude people disturbing everyone else, the computers would be vandalized and parts stolen, I absolutely love and admire Japanese people for their respect for their fellow citizens
The captions are the best part of the entire video. My favorite part was the explorer section at the start and the manga names you did. Hopefully I can go here when Japan opens up!
I'm not gonna lie, this is my dream home. I have a specific thing where I feel most comfortable in very small spaces (as they were the only place I was safe as a child) so a room that consists solely of a bed and a computer (to talk to friends) would be perfect. This seems really comfortable to me.
Me too. Feels so cosy to have a small space, I also love sleeping on the floor over a bed. I actually tried a net cafe in 2019 a few months before COVID, it was great! So cheap, you get to stay in a central area, and I slept probably better than I would in most hotel rooms.
@@Lia0302 oop🤭🤭 not you telling what I plan on doing before I do it. I would love to convert a van it's been a dream of mine for years it would be so cool to be able to travel freely w not a lot of stuff
I thought I'm a freak for preferring this too, ever since I was a kid I always love tiny spaces because it soothe my mind and make me feel safe and also cozy
The amazing thing about Japan...all the rental or public things are in good condition. How come every single person be a responsible person not ruining a public thing? That's what I like and couldn't find it in any countries. So responsible and tidy as well
You express a powerful level of sassy through your calm text. It's remarkable. Lol Also a pretty great deal, all things considered. The price especially. For $50 here, I get a hotel room that isn't soundproof, mildew and an unclean bed, smells like smoke, no breakfast, etc. This was great.
I stayed in this type of private box at a net cafe in Shinjuku once while waiting for an overnight bus to Kamikochi. The layout is exactly the same except the door didn't go down all the way to the floor so I could hear more noises but it was ok since I was staying during day time. The free internet, shower, unlimited soft drinks, soft cream and soup were the true highlights!
Thank you for this! I've been trying to come up with some ideas to make my next visit to Japan cheaper, and manga/net cafe seems a good option. I'm also loving the humorous comments. I burst out laughing at the descriptions you gave of the manga.
I've actually used a net cafe room to write and submit a report that was due in 2 days while I was on holiday. Internet in my hotel was abysmal so I went to a netcafe like this. Was incredibly shocked by how much privacy it had, but the internet was the fastest I've ever used in my life it was great.
@@RexZShadow You are missing the point: overseas tourists naturally need the room for 24 hours a day, for sleeping, to store their clothes and belongings during the day. Then the process starts all over again in the evening when the tourist returns to the hotel after the day's outing. This typical tourist's daily routine is quite apart from a local Japanese person who would only use the net cafe for a few hours after work or school, for perhaps much of a night, before returning home to sleep.
Oh, man. I love Kaikatsu, and I still have my membership card in case I ever come back to Japan. Net cafes can be a lifesaver in a pinch when you're backpacking, though the private rooms like this can be a bit stiff on price depending on what day of the week and if it's a holiday. Worth noting too, for anyone who might wanna visit a net cafe like this - not all Kaikatsu Club's have rooms like this! Services offered are almost always a bit different from location to location. Though thankfully both the location and their website listing has helpful pictograms to depict what is and isn't there ( food/drink, private rooms, showers, etc. )
kaikatsu i stayed at only had a curtain that stopped halfway, fucking pointless. watched a guy get thrown out though that was pretty funny, he was playing that goddamn pineapple song for an hour and everyone was super annoyed, eventually some guy came running out from the back and shut off his computer and told him to get out, he was PISSED, ive never seen someone that angry in japan, the guy tried to pull some "i paid for the right to be here i am a customer" and the employee basically told him "not anymore, i dont give a shit, get out" i took a video and have it saved somewhere on an old phone, this was in 2014 though, hopefully i run across it again because i will definitely upload it, dont remember the name of the place but it was in dotonbori somewhere. I dont know if the guy was drunk or if he was just intentionally being an asshole, it was funny for like the first 10 minutes cause he was getting really into it but then if someone would get up to go buy something he would jump in and change whatever they were doing to that fucking song. I know he didn't speak english but he definitely understood it, i told him he was going to spill his drink and he danced back over to it and put the cap on.

Net cafes were the best for when I went overnight to Tokyo. I’d rarely go early since I’d be out adventuring and so the rates were way better than going to a capsule hotel. The free amenities were great (thank god for free all you can eat soup and beverages),the places were always a bit too air-conned but you could ask for a blanket and pillow (and the flat rooms are definitely the way to go if you want to sleep). Unfortunately, sometimes you hear things you wouldn’t want to hear (“night sound”, alarms from cellphones, one particular time a business meeting through Skype), so invest in good headphones or earplugs. Edit: your type of room was way fancier than mine.
Dora the explorer made me laugh more than I should! Thank you for the great videos, and happy New Year SST! I hope 2022 is full of amazing curry, beautiful views and many happy adventures.
I spent many late nights in Kaikatsu Club in my first year and a half in Japan (2005-2006), as my apartment didn't have internet. The one I went to didn't have rooms like this, but I had a private booth for about 3 hours to use the internet. I always went after work (done at 10pm), and usually stayed until around 2 am. No trains after that, so I walked 40 minutes to my apartment late at night. I did this 3 times a week. I miss those days, but they were pretty lonely days.
@@japanjaydeeyour story just like anime that i use to watch when i was a kid, where there is a scene when the main character comes home from internet cafe late at night on foot in the rain.
These places really are a gem in the country. I've stayed in a few private capsule rooms in Tokyo. Some have hot springs in them as opposed to the coin operated *by time* showers. One of the nicer cheaper lodging in Japan. I know couples that go there as well.
If it's around $52/night, it's 1560/mo BUT all amenities and utilities basically included. You lose on space, but you make up for it in convenience. It's a steep rent in a small town, but actually a pretty good deal in most big/major cities. I think it's a better deal as a temporary thkng though- like a cheap "hotel room" or a place to live between housing situations if you need it or, frankly, a safe place to stay if you need to lay low from an abusive situation or need to cool your head away from your partner-even a safe place for a young person who ran away from home to stay, if they're able. I could never live so small, but i could see myself staying over night in one of these rooms much more so than minimal size capsule hotels. It's pretty genius.
That's insane. If you can secure a mortgage, you can pay less than 300 a month with principle in a house with three bedrooms and a bathroom. Cost of living total at around 550 bucks a month.
@@thehardcoreninja1875 how can I get my hands and I ain't for sure not be there for a couple days now ain't gonna get me a job and then the other one piece is just old enough that it was Christmas and the other is the safest place to keep the money
It looks so soothing and cozy, being able to hide from all of the noise in such place, but also depressing. I am sure that people who live there regularly burning out in underpaid jobs don't enjoy meals either.
Thankyou for this video for showing this ! It is a similar price to a capsule hotel , but you get a private room ! I also love your choice for breakfast ! It is like when you first move out of home, and realise you can eat anything you want for breakfast !
The living arrangements in these kinds of places always fascinated me. It would be one thing to stay for a period of time in them, but to actually live here in one of these rooms, what do you do in your day to offset the cost. Do people work online? Is this to lessen a commute to a job? It's just such an interesting lifestyle. Kinda reminds me of a NEET. Not one that you would really want to have, but it seems like one that a lot of people have fallen into and just seem to accept.
For some people it's cheaper and easier than commuting. Go to the city on monday morning, move to the hotel - from there, go tto work. after work, sleep in a hotel. on friday evening, go back home. Some people go there when they are sick, so they won't get the family sick.
I used it daily during my Kyoto-tokyo cycling trip last year and it was great, especially the free toasts and french fries in the morning and the 200 yen curry rice in the night time. But note franchises in Tokyo seem to have different rules from other areas(no free breakfast, even no food service at all), so it's a necessity to check the information of each one before deciding.
Do these capsule/cafe hotels typically have area where you can park or store your bikes? I'm planning a bike tour in Japan and I was thinking these type of accommodations as an option. My route will be Osaka-Kyoto-Nagoya-Tokyo
Hey, I'm interested in travelling to Japan for a cycling trip, how long did Kyoto-Tokyo take you? Also, same question as previous guy, where do you store your bike for the night?
@@Jason-fo5xu Hello, It was nine days because I was visiting tourist sites while advancing. It is only 500km so if you go fast 4 to 5 days is pretty enough. I just parked my bicycle in the parking lot of the internet cafe. You can also bring the bike into the box if you disassemble and pack the bicycle first. ps. some of the franchaises don't have parking site so make sure to check their websites before making the planning.
@@remainsofmewu2548 thanks for the reply, did some research and planning on the route and seems like if I want to include some sightseeing will be looking at a 10 day trip as well.
This is what we need in the Philippines right now for us nightshift workers since public transportation is so bad it would take us forever to to go home from work and vice versa roughly 3 hrs travel time, the ability to check in with all the ameneties available is so good and amazingly a room that small/soundproof is a God send where we can sleep peacefuly and do some remote work specialy if you have noisy unruly fukin neighbors which is common in this country.
Uso ngayon ang transient rooms. For as low as 300 a day, pwede kang makituloy sa isang kwarto. Marami din mga monthly room for rent and bedspace na affordable, even sa mga minimum wage earners
As soon as I saw the notification, I immediately clicked the video in lightning speed XD. Anyways, thank you for your relaxing videos. Waiting for more in the future!
your videos are so awesome and relaxing. just found you yesterday while scrolling through YT. It's truly amazing how advanced Japan is! It is definetly on my bucket list. I would love to do a cruise through there eventually
I found channels like yours after growing addicted to Abroad in Japan. I love all the different perspectives of a country I don’t know if I will ever be able to visit…
Greetings from Florida!!Thank you for your videos! I’m loving them, they’re so peaceful and relaxing. I hope I can travel to Japan one day and experience these places!
Love the videos. I want to take my family to Japan next year or 2024. We're gonna say your channel was the reason we visit every place. Hopefully they'll send you some money. Lol
I remember seeing one in Shibuya where the rooms are bigger and you can stay the night. Got into a heated debate with my travel group at one point and had to stay in one, was 100% more comfortable than it had any right being
this is really cool hahaha i imagine i can live there for long for sure hahaha doing stream have great food and fast internet damn i want to live there now
Your free breakfast reminds me of when I went to an anime convention in Los Angeles. We'd get to the con center so early, that we'd grab breakfast at the little cafe they had there- a real fruit smoothie, and french fries. I'm amazed I made it three whole days without getting sick on breakfasts like that XD
As someone who has slept in most major airports and train stations around europe, this would be pure luxury to find. I have tried out the capsules in airports, but they are too expensive when you just can sleep on the floor instead. But sometimes you need a place with a shower and this looks like a great alternative, I would set my alarm and stay 6h (5h of sleep and 1h to eat and shower)
Gotta say, pretty impressed that you dipped your fries in the ice cream, that's genius level for sure. This is the first video I've seen on your channel, I really like your content!
These capsules are great, especially for times when maybe your out with friends or workmates, they live close but not us, so instead of having to travel home late at night just stay in one of these. So often I’ve been to spas with friends (I admit I’m envious of the onsen) then the lovely relaxed state is crushed by crowded trains, late, cancelled buses, traffic jams…ugh! We’d definitely do this and go home the next day or spend some time having a nice time then go home when it’s not so busy. The jacuzzis and pools here are a bit cold tbh. The onsen always look a toasty temperature 😀 I’m not sure I could be convinced into an outdoor one in winter though 😂
While my condition doesn’t allow me to take long baths in the onsen, an outdoor winter onsen is actually amazing! The hot steam of the onsen will immediately heat up the surrounding area so it doesn’t feel cold at all.
This was super interesting to watch! (Also the the movie selection screen delighted me because I spotted the Rurouni Kenshin: The Beginning cover :D) The breakfast was...something but there's that saying about gift horses and such.
I admire your courage. If I had seen Internet Explorer in my private capsule, I would have made a run for it. I would have ran all the way to the first train to Hokkaido.
whenever you get fresh toast and cold margarine/butter, please try putting the butter to rest between the slices immediately after toasting, then it will be soft enough to spread later
One thing that I have noticed in a few of your videos now is that many public places in Japan have a Shoehorn (the thing that you put in the heel of the shoe to make it easier to clip the foot in). Makes sense when in many places you take your shoes off, but it is interesting nonetheless that they are provided in places like this.
The toilet rankings are one of the best bits about your videos! Lol at that all crack me up all the time! I haven't noticed that they supply courtesy spray you might need to deploy after one of your meals for the next user????😂
Huh. I've been aware of "private booths" in manga cafes and Internet cafes, but I didn't realise they were quite so well equipped and actually private. I wonder if the soundproofing is good enough for me to listen to music or talk on the phone or something (or muffle snoring 😬)
I always pictured an awful seedy-looking place when thinking of what a "net cafe" is. I've seen it depicted in anime or whatever, but I always thought that was just like typical fantasy like how everyone on TV lives in a massive apartment or home. Seeing how it works is actually pretty cool. We have no concept of capsule anything where I'm from (our people would trash the hell out of the places, if I'm honest) so this is absolutely unreal to me. Also, this video is really quiet without the constant rattle of a train in the background. Really cool view into this kind of place and it's easy to see the potential lifestyle some hard-luck folks would get out of it.
It seems clean but I'm sorry...a private room you can book by the hour, with what appears to be a wipedown bed and complementary boxes of tissues...? Not everybody is booking those rooms to sleep in, and that's all I would be able to think about lol
the selection on the computer screen along with movies and video games you could play also had a red heart with 18 in it at the end there at 5:20. so at least the place is aware of what it's used for, what it was made for.
The Japanese are a clean people. If this was the US it would be full of needles, rodents, and “for a good time call” style graffiti. With people fighting down the hall.
8:07 omg that looks so good 😭 If I saw a gourmet crab cream croquette with such a generous portion here on the Eastern coast in the U.S., the price would probably be around $16-20 💀
Not only are these things informative, interesting, and comfortable to watch, but they can even be really funny. I smirked at the screaming over Internet Explorer and laughed out loud at the silent rendition of "Jesus Christ, it's Jason Bourne!"
Sorry i'm late! It's a jungle out there!

i am not an introvert , but why this feels so relaxing
It looks so soothing and cozy, being able to hide from all of the noise in such place, but also depressing.
I am sure that people who live there regularly burning out in underpaid jobs don't enjoy meals either.
so impressionable. If there was upbeat music in the background you wouldn't be saying this.

Thankyou for this video for showing this ! It is a similar price to a capsule hotel , but you get a private room ! I also love your choice for breakfast ! It is like when you first move out of home, and realise you can eat anything you want for breakfast !
The living arrangements in these kinds of places always fascinated me. It would be one thing to stay for a period of time in them, but to actually live here in one of these rooms, what do you do in your day to offset the cost. Do people work online? Is this to lessen a commute to a job? It's just such an interesting lifestyle. Kinda reminds me of a NEET. Not one that you would really want to have, but it seems like one that a lot of people have fallen into and just seem to accept.
i mean i would kill to have this type of internet speed
For a lot of people renting these I'd wager its better than the alternative which is probably being homeless.
For some people it's cheaper and easier than commuting. Go to the city on monday morning, move to the hotel - from there, go tto work. after work, sleep in a hotel. on friday evening, go back home.
Some people go there when they are sick, so they won't get the family sick.
It depends on the hotel. I know of one that is actually only around $350 US a month. They often give deals for long term stays.
I used it daily during my Kyoto-tokyo cycling trip last year and it was great, especially the free toasts and french fries in the morning and the 200 yen curry rice in the night time.
But note franchises in Tokyo seem to have different rules from other areas(no free breakfast, even no food service at all), so it's a necessity to check the information of each one before deciding.
Do these capsule/cafe hotels typically have area where you can park or store your bikes? I'm planning a bike tour in Japan and I was thinking these type of accommodations as an option. My route will be Osaka-Kyoto-Nagoya-Tokyo
@@田中太郎-p7w8q Ah! Thanks for the info. I'll add that as an option for parking my bike.
Hey, I'm interested in travelling to Japan for a cycling trip, how long did Kyoto-Tokyo take you? Also, same question as previous guy, where do you store your bike for the night?
@@Jason-fo5xu Hello,
It was nine days because I was visiting tourist sites while advancing. It is only 500km so if you go fast 4 to 5 days is pretty enough.
I just parked my bicycle in the parking lot of the internet cafe. You can also bring the bike into the box if you disassemble and pack the bicycle first.
ps. some of the franchaises don't have parking site so make sure to check their websites before making the planning.
@@remainsofmewu2548 thanks for the reply, did some research and planning on the route and seems like if I want to include some sightseeing will be looking at a 10 day trip as well.
Your videos are so peaceful. I cannot wait to travel again to Japan.
This is what we need in the Philippines right now for us nightshift workers since public transportation is so bad it would take us forever to to go home from work and vice versa roughly 3 hrs travel time, the ability to check in with all the ameneties available is so good and amazingly a room that small/soundproof is a God send where we can sleep peacefuly and do some remote work specialy if you have noisy unruly fukin neighbors which is common in this country.
we dont need this,,, we need proper transpo first. and proper salaries and proper fucking politicians

@@ShopperKungTVplay Japan is not a place to live in. It's so depressing.
I like how you took your time and showed us everything, this was cool.
Your free breakfast reminds me of when I went to an anime convention in Los Angeles. We'd get to the con center so early, that we'd grab breakfast at the little cafe they had there- a real fruit smoothie, and french fries. I'm amazed I made it three whole days without getting sick on breakfasts like that XD
As someone who has slept in most major airports and train stations around europe, this would be pure luxury to find.
I have tried out the capsules in airports, but they are too expensive when you just can sleep on the floor instead.
But sometimes you need a place with a shower and this looks like a great alternative, I would set my alarm and stay 6h (5h of sleep and 1h to eat and shower)
You're the quickest manga reader in town! This place looks delightful, and well-priced, too.
Gotta say, pretty impressed that you dipped your fries in the ice cream, that's genius level for sure. This is the first video I've seen on your channel, I really like your content!
I like how it has both Edge and Explorer. A plethora of choices!
Che tristezza...
This is just so funny idk why I’m laughing lol especially the “free breakfast”
"Breakfast"! :D
Me too! What's for breakfast?...carbs, carbs and carbs...but one of them is ice cream! 😀

Was waiting for your video only thanks for uploading! Your videos are somehow very relaxing. Love from India ❤️
These capsules are great, especially for times when maybe your out with friends or workmates, they live close but not us, so instead of having to travel home late at night just stay in one of these. So often I’ve been to spas with friends (I admit I’m envious of the onsen) then the lovely relaxed state is crushed by crowded trains, late, cancelled buses, traffic jams…ugh! We’d definitely do this and go home the next day or spend some time having a nice time then go home when it’s not so busy.
The jacuzzis and pools here are a bit cold tbh. The onsen always look a toasty temperature 😀 I’m not sure I could be convinced into an outdoor one in winter though 😂
I too am a fan of womens rights
While my condition doesn’t allow me to take long baths in the onsen, an outdoor winter onsen is actually amazing! The hot steam of the onsen will immediately heat up the surrounding area so it doesn’t feel cold at all.

If I had seen Internet Explorer in my private capsule, I would have made a run for it.
I would have ran all the way to the first train to Hokkaido.
whenever you get fresh toast and cold margarine/butter, please try putting the butter to rest between the slices immediately after toasting, then it will be soft enough to spread later
Oh so that how people do it. neat
One thing that I have noticed in a few of your videos now is that many public places in Japan have a Shoehorn (the thing that you put in the heel of the shoe to make it easier to clip the foot in). Makes sense when in many places you take your shoes off, but it is interesting nonetheless that they are provided in places like this.
The toilet rankings are one of the best bits about your videos! Lol at that all crack me up all the time! I haven't noticed that they supply courtesy spray you might need to deploy after one of your meals for the next user????😂
For me, it's the worst bit
Man,your videos are amazing.No unnecessary music,speech...
Huh. I've been aware of "private booths" in manga cafes and Internet cafes, but I didn't realise they were quite so well equipped and actually private. I wonder if the soundproofing is good enough for me to listen to music or talk on the phone or something (or muffle snoring 😬)
ive watched overnight videos of internet/manga cafes in japan. You can 100% hear all the people around you snoring.
Its good but not to a level of when you scream
LMAO at the washroom peasant description . No shade. That would be my broke ass living there.
Love the vid!
The Jason Bourne reference AND a JoJo reference... truly a man of culture
I always pictured an awful seedy-looking place when thinking of what a "net cafe" is. I've seen it depicted in anime or whatever, but I always thought that was just like typical fantasy like how everyone on TV lives in a massive apartment or home. Seeing how it works is actually pretty cool. We have no concept of capsule anything where I'm from (our people would trash the hell out of the places, if I'm honest) so this is absolutely unreal to me. Also, this video is really quiet without the constant rattle of a train in the background. Really cool view into this kind of place and it's easy to see the potential lifestyle some hard-luck folks would get out of it.
It seems clean but I'm sorry...a private room you can book by the hour, with what appears to be a wipedown bed and complementary boxes of tissues...? Not everybody is booking those rooms to sleep in, and that's all I would be able to think about lol
Just think that somebody was happy there.
I was thinking about the poor women who have to clean them…
nasty place
the selection on the computer screen along with movies and video games you could play also had a red heart with 18 in it at the end there at 5:20. so at least the place is aware of what it's used for, what it was made for.
The Japanese are a clean people. If this was the US it would be full of needles, rodents, and “for a good time call” style graffiti. With people fighting down the hall.
8:07 omg that looks so good 😭 If I saw a gourmet crab cream croquette with such a generous portion here on the Eastern coast in the U.S., the price would probably be around $16-20 💀
In Brazil is price value is 200 R$ Brazil Money = 60$
And the minimum wage is around 1,100 this is very little for so many drops of sweat
