Welcome to Okachimachi in Tokyo. This is Ameyoko market and the area around it buzzes with life

Future continuous

And this is also where I'm gonna be spending the night

So what makes Okachimachi a really interesting place to stay is its location? It's so convenient. It's located between

Which makes it the perfect location and the fact that it's next to this market which has

Amazing nightlife, great restaurants that spill out into the streets with really delicious and affordable food. I mean what more could you want?

So let's go check in to the capsule hotel

Spa Resort President is located on a side street across from Ameyoko Market. It's been in operation for about 40 years

As you can plainly see, it's men only. But today, everyone will get a look inside of this typical Japanese capsule and sound our resort

When you enter, take off your shoes and go up to the desk

It's 3,700 yen a night for a capsule. But with online deals you can save a few hundred yen

Depending on the season. You can use the lounges and baths between 10:00 and 3:00 when cleaning is taking place

Give the key to the front desk, fill in the registration form,

and get your locker key. The number corresponds to both the locker and the capsule number

Change out of your street clothes and into the hotel's loungewear

If you leave the hotel, you have to change back into your street clothes again

Keep in mind that the locker area can get a little crowded and privacy is minimal, which is authentic Japanese style

It's a typical and authentic Japanese style capsule in with sauna where you have very little privacy

You get a clean place to rest than a new way to experience an overnight. Stay in Japan

Perfect for the backpacker in you. Knowing this, we can continue to the lounge area. It's a place

that's essentially your living room for a night with

Lots of other guests pick a chair or area on the floor and make yourself at home

This is how busy Japanese men crash for a night. You might even make some friends here

If you don't want to get a capsule, you can opt for a sound a stay and just sleep in a lounge chair

You might even say it's better than first-class on an airplane! The seats go way back!

There's even a control panel in the lounge chair to watch TV

You can also order food and eat it at your chair

It's a place where guys can be guys, you know, be super lazy and forget the outside world

Hold up partner! Before you go to sleep, how about taking a bath?

They've got an incredible Japanese-Style bath too! Before we get in the bath, it's important to rinse off the body

This is Japanese community bathing and the norm around the country

It's really a great way to reset the body after a long and tiring day

This is a reason to take advantage of, public fads and ever you stay in an accommodation that has one of these

Use it because, it is just yet pure paradise

Japanese live by the principles of Hadaka No Tsukiai (はだか の つきあい), we're all equal when naked.

Any difficulties you had in the outside world just melts away in here

The water here contains minerals good for the body. And it's not the only place you can relax here

The upstairs steam room uses Japanese mugwort called Yomogi (よもぎ) adding a little aromatherapy to your relaxation

So you may need to bail when the body says split

If you can stand the heat, the sound is the place to go to sweat it all out

The temperature in here is near 100 degrees Celsius

When you can't take any more, it's time for its polar opposites

Cool the body down in this polar bear 15 degrees Celsius chill bath

The toughest of the tough can grit their teeth, and fight it out for a few moments

Shampoo, soap, and shaving cream all included

Wash up after the bath and leave happier, healthier, and definitely cleaner because it's dinner time

This is a busy man's home away from home. All the favorites are here and very reasonably priced

Share a beer with new friends over a meal

Capsule ends have all sorts of services to add to the experience for some guys. This is better than home

This sukiyaki may even taste better than your wife's cooking. And if you're here because she kicked you out of the house

Here's a typical guy friendly meal, meat spice vegetables, and beer. Not too shabby

Take care of your mates and leave happy and full

Now here's the capsule area at Spa Resort President

There's a strict no talking policy here, people already sleeping have drawn the curtain

Inside the capsule there's an air vent, control panel with alarm,

I've been to so many capsule hotels and each one is a little different. In 2015, I stayed at one in Shinjuku

It was the classic 1980 style. All plastic shell with a small back door and curtain

So I can see right away, there is a huge difference in the size of this capsule! This one is

210 centimeters long compared to the other one that was 200 centimeters

So if you're, if you're a tall person, this probably can accommodate almost anybody. This feels like a fort when I was a kid

I used to make forts out of blankets in it. It does have this this very comfortable feel to it

Opens on the long side. And in most capsule hotels, they open up on on the the end of it

There is free Wi-Fi in here. So you don't have to worry about not having internet connection. You have it inside of this

It also comes with headphones, so you don't disturb your neighbors, which is very important inside of any capsule

But I have to tell you this is a very comfortable experience and I'm quite satisfied

They also have deluxe capsules which give you a little more privacy, and a small workstation

Let's see what Shingo has to say about his capsule. It's actually not like a capsule or a conventional capsule

Look at the height here. It's much much higher than a usual capsule, and oh check this out

iPhone, you can enjoy all you like, and the mattress is really, really thick

Arms length, everything that you need is right here

And I'm already half asleep because it's so relaxing. If you want to sleep, you're just gonna lie down and little bear sleep.

I'd say this is, this is not a capsule hotel. This is like a mini fortress

Here are some of the dont's at Spa Resort President

Want to make a call?  Don't do it in the sleeping rooms! Be a good neighbor!

So you want to bring in cheap beats from an outside convenience store? Bust it! No outside food here

Your valuable should be kept with you are put in a locker. Don't leave anything important in the capsule or sleeping areas!

How about making calls in the lounge area?

and neither will the manager! Do it in the lobby! running around and making trouble is prohibited. If you have a problem, contact the manager

If you don't want a capsule, you can lounge around until morning like this guy

Pick a few of your favorite manga from the library and bring a mattress nearby, like you would at a friend's house

Many people like to read manga, even in their sleep!

Another option of the Japanese-Style booths similar to those at manga cafes

They're not very big but offer more privacy than a lounge chair
