"This unique new accommodation offers ryokan-style capsules (meaning tatami mats inside the capsules), as well as comfortable, cleverly designed private rooms." Full review
Fodor's "Arranged like bunk beds, the capsules can be three-high. Each unit contains a TV, an air-ventilation unit, lights, and an alarm." Full review
Frommer's "In any case, all three facilities ensure guests get the most out of their stay by providing sightseeing and dining recommendations, maps showing locations of nearby restaurants, and supermarkets." Full review
