When traveling abroad, due to less-than-ideal flight schedules, many choose to spend the night at the airport to save on transport and lodging expenses—but it’s easy to imagine how poor rest quality can be when sleeping in a crowded lobby. To better accommodate international travelers, Tokyo's Narita Airport opened its first capsule hotel, “9 Hours,” in July this year, providing a comfortable and restful space for those in transit or catching early flights.
