They act as a perfect last-minute option if you have missed your train or need to stay in that area of the city for a short while.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However<\/strong>, this doesn\u2019t mean that pod hotels would not be a great option for tourists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only issue that these hotels hold is the luggage problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned before, you are provided with a locker that can hold backpacks and various clothing items. Tourists with much larger <strong>suitcases <\/strong>can give them to the receptionists at the front desk to hold until your stay is over.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And this is great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are staying in Tokyo for a <strong>couple of weeks<\/strong>, I would <strong>highly <\/strong>recommend <strong>not<\/strong> staying in a capsule hotel for the whole stay. Although you can store all of your luggage at the hotel premises, it is just <strong>too inconvenient<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your locker can only really hold clothes that will last you for around <strong>3 days<\/strong> at most. You would then have to go to reception, ask for your suitcase, switch the items around into the different bags and then you would have to ask reception to take back your suitcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only is this <strong>extremely inconvenient<\/strong> for you, but also for the staff at the hotel. If you spend a whole <strong>2 weeks<\/strong> at the hotel, you&#8217;re going to be asking for your suitcase and for it to be stored again, at least <strong>4 times<\/strong> during your stay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It just <strong>doesn\u2019t <\/strong>make sense to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"320\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/s864828342.websitehome.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/safecapsulehotel2.jpg\" alt=\"are capsule hotels safe for tourists?\" class=\"wp-image-2912\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expeditiontokyo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/safecapsulehotel2.jpg 320w, https:\/\/expeditiontokyo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/safecapsulehotel2-240x300.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 320px) 100vw, 320px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Photo Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/renankamizi\/\"><strong>Renan Kamizi<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>It is recommended that if you do want to try out a capsule hotel, then just spend a couple of nights there maximum.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe you are visiting a location on the complete opposite side of the city, why not book a short stay at a pod hotel then?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You would be keeping it simple for yourself and the staff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Capsule hotels are an extremely unique concept, and I, myself, cannot wait to try sleeping in one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"421\" height=\"400\" src=\"http:\/\/s864828342.websitehome.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/capsulehotelbeds.jpg\" alt=\"are capsule hotel safe\" class=\"wp-image-2913\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expeditiontokyo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/capsulehotelbeds.jpg 421w, https:\/\/expeditiontokyo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/capsulehotelbeds-300x285.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong>Photo Source: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mayukoyamaguchi_tokyo\/\"><strong>Mayuko Yamaguchi<\/strong><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most unique and intriguing things for tourists when visiting Tokyo, is the capsule hotels.
