Mr. Nakanishi, who studied economics at a regional university, dreams of becoming a lawyer and pores over legal manuals during the day. But with no job since Christmas, he does not know how much longer he can afford a capsule bed.
The rent is surprisingly high for such a small space: 59,000 yen a month, or about $640, for an upper bunk. But with no upfront deposit or extra utility charges, and basic amenities like fresh linens and free use of a communal bath and sauna, the cost is far less than renting an apartment in Tokyo, Mr. Nakanishi says.
Still, it is a bleak world where deep sleep is rare. The capsules do not have doors, only screens that pull down. Every bump of the shoulder on the plastic walls, every muffled cough, echoes loudly through the rows.
Each capsule is furnished only with a light, a small TV with earphones, coat hooks, a thin blanket and a hard pillow of rice husks.

Ok, time for someone who isn't just making shit up off the top of his head.

The rent in Tokyo is high, but that's not the part that gets you. There are plenty of apartments that one could rent for around 59,000 yen/month (not including utilities, internet, etc). However actually renting an apartment is very difficult. You usually have to pay a fairly large upfront fee that can be as much as 3-6 month's worth of rent. You also need a guarantor- someone who is willing to take full responsibility if you don't pay your rent. There are also credit/background checks. Most landlords won't rent to somebody who doesn't have a stable, verifiable income, or to people who work in 'shady' industries.

So if you're unemployed, broke, and/or lack family or friends who are willing to take 100% responsibility for your expenses then your options are very limited.

Most internet cafes have maximum stay limits to prevent people from living in them. They also don't tend to have beds.

fucking exspinve consdering other "real" hotels cost only a bit less, but of course we did not stay in one for the cost, just the experince.

About $30 for a full night(all the capsule hotels in the area cost exactly the same) . before you enter, you take your shoes off and put them in a metal box with the key. You take the key to the front desk, they give you the number of your capsule and they take your shoe box key and give you another key for the locker. You open the locker change into their junbei(robe with shorts), and put your stuff and there and then enjoy the rest of the night. Theres a lounge where all the other salary men hang out and watch TV on this big screen. A public bath and restroom as well. So when you walk into the restroom, you see all these other japanese guys shaving. At least you get a free tooth brush. There is a reason why women are not allow at most capsule hotels.

The beds are surpisingly comfy. We don't regret going at all, it was a cool experince, but I could not live in one.
