Where there are people, there is a cultural formation.
As the most developed economy in Asia, Japan has formed a lot of its own unique culture. For example, " capsule apartment ", from its birth more than 40 years ago to the current hot market, has formed a unique cultural phenomenon, which also reflects the living conditions of the Japanese from a certain angle.
Japan has a small land and a large population, especially in large cities like Tokyo and Osaka, where the population density exceeds many people's imagination.
In addition, Japan’s overtime culture has formed very early, and has affected many parts of Asia. Many times, after overtime, I have missed the last subway trip home.
In order to solve the problems of many newcomers and overtime workers, this kind of affordable "capsule apartment" came into being. And as the pace of life accelerates, it has gradually been sought after by many people, especially young people.
Simply put, the capsule apartment minimizes personal space on the premise of ensuring a comfortable sleep for the residents.
It is like a honeycomb, usually only 2-3 square meters in each position, less than 1 meter high, a position can only "store" one person (this is very similar to our Hard sleeper on national trains).
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
Each position will have WIFI, independent TV, you can listen to music, and comic book , just in order not to interfere with each other, all devices that can make sound are equipped with headphones.
If you think crowded people are unsanitary, then you are wrong. Generally, when entering a capsule apartment, there will be a public area next to the front desk. In addition, when entering the accommodation area, you first need to change into the uniform pajamas and slippers provided by the store.In addition, smoking and odorous objects are not allowed in the accommodation area.
Moreover, it is said that not only capsule apartments, but many public places in Japan are not allowed to enter with tattoos.
Capsule apartments have now formed a cultural feature in Japan. Many young Japanese even like this way of life. First of all, it is more affordable, and it is safe and without having to deal with others. Stay away from the social circle and live in your own world.
Many tourists also intend to experience this unique lifestyle.
In Beijing, Chongqing and other places, some people have imitated and introduced this hotel form, but apart from novelty, it has not been welcomed by too many people.
