Many people consider accommodation to be one of the most important experiential highlights of their trip. In addition to choosing conventional hotels or homestays, some also opt to stay in capsule hotels—not only to save on lodging costs but also to enjoy a uniquely different sleeping space, which can be quite fun. Now, when visiting Japan, there’s a new lodging option that sits between a capsule hotel and a traditional hotel—“First Cabin.”

“First Cabin” currently has branches in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Fukuoka, mostly located within a five-minute walk from train stations. Compared to capsule hotels, which offer nothing but a place to sleep, “First Cabin” provides two types of cabins based on room size: First Class Cabin (4.43 m²) and Business Class Cabin (2.53 m²). The First Class Cabin not only offers more space but also comes with a side table. As for other facilities such as showers and toilets, like typical capsule hotels, they are located in shared public areas. Overall, it’s a great lodging choice for travelers who want to stay simply and comfortably without compromising on space. Come try it out on your next trip to Japan!
