A Capsule Ryokan in Kyoto

Yesterday, I visited a unique new form of accommodation here in Kyoto: a capsule ryokan! On the first floor, it's got capsules with Japanese touches, like tatami mats and sliding shoji doors. On the upper floors, it's got business hotel-like rooms with lots of interesting features. It's close to Kyoto Station and it would make a good base for travel in Kyoto/Kansai.

Here are some pics of the capsules:





It costs Y3500 for a capsule and Y7890 for a private room (for two people). For more information visit their website.
