Capsule and Sauna Oriental

This property has experienced a serious decline in both security and guest experience. The second-floor guest area originally had controlled access through a locked door requiring a code. During my stay, that door was simply propped open, allowing anyone to enter. What was once a relatively private floor became a public gathering area with numerous non-guests or unidentified individuals lingering there. The bathroom "upgrade" was actually a downgrade. Four toilets were removed and replaced with five cramped shower cubicles made from fabric partitions attached to PVC pipe frames. Unlike the original showers, they do not provide proper privacy, changing space, or locking doors. The result is only two toilets serving roughly 35 sleeping spaces. The biggest issue was security. During the night, two valuable rings disappeared. When I reported the incident, the staff showed virtually no concern and immediately handed me directions to the police station. The speed with which this was done gave the impression that such incidents may not be unusual. After losing confidence in the property's ability to provide a safe environment, I chose to leave early. Despite the circumstances, management refused to refund any of the unused nights. I cannot recommend this property to anyone traveling with valuables or expecting even basic hostel-level security.

We stayed overnight on consecutive holidays in November. Since it was a long holiday, I searched for a hotel just before, but couldn't find a suitable hotel, so I stayed at this capsule hotel. It was only for men, and the place to sleep was quiet, so if you just slept there was no problem at all. There were also many foreign visitors. Gowns, trousers and two towels for overnight stays could be borrowed for free. Toothbrushes and razors were free. Footwear was strictly prohibited in the building, and slippers were sold for 100 yen.

You can stay here for as little as 2,000 yen. There's only one elevator, so there's time to get crowded. My bath is smaller than I expected. My locker is old. Bath towels and slippers are charged. Two towels are free of charge. The room is not very clean. It is convenient to drink around Ameyoko.
