9h Capsule Hotel
Check out this new capsule hotel that just opened last December. 9h is located in Kyoto, ready to service the burnt-out businessman or the broke backpacker 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. I love the concept and the simple pictograms. Everything looks so futuristic!
Monocle has your video of, what is, a joint collaboration between Fumie Shibata (amenities), Masaaki Hiromura (graphic design) and Takaaki Nakamura (interior design).

Is this place for real? Looks like that reservation they had in that Tom Cruise movie, The Island. I wonder how many cheap hotel reservations have already been made and how many of those people are happy with the accommodation.
[...] Capsule hotels, despite their kitschy nature and shock appeal, continue to be a breeding ground for guesthouse innovations. Check out the 9h hotel from Kyoto, which makes Holiday Inn look less relevant than your grandma’s US state quarter collection. Read more here at Spoon & Tamago. [...]
