Frequent travelers may have had this experience: flights that are too early or too late make you either worry about missing your flight or not wanting to pay high transportation costs to get into the city, so you end up sleeping at the airport—but the quality of rest is inevitably compromised. A well-known capsule hotel“9h nine hours”from July will open at Terminal 2 of Tokyo’s Narita Airport, offering travelers a comfortable space to rest even if they have to spend the night at the airport.

The concept behind the “9h nine hours” capsule hotel is based on three human activities: showering (1 hour), sleeping (7 hours), and getting ready (1 hour).The goal is for guests to get sufficient rest before continuing their next journey. The hotel uses black and white as its main color scheme, and the sleeping spaces resemble space capsules—providing a quiet place for travelers to find temporary shelter. One of the most unique features of the hotel is its thoughtful gender-segregated design. At the main Kyoto location, everything from the sleeping areas to the washrooms is separated by gender, ensuring solo female travelers feel safe.
