Capsule hotels in Tokyo

Last time I visited Tokyo I tried some capsule hotels. Well, I also tested some other EXTREMELY weird accommodation sauna style I could talk about other day (probably the weirdest accommodation I've ever been).

Capsules are an experience for 2 or 3 days. Clean as Japanese standards and usually good located. But they are not ok for a relaxing period of time since its just a honeycomb gap and people are not bees.

Here some photos from different places.
Someone could think it's claustrophobic or washing machine feeling but it's not the case. Maybe a small earthquake during the night.

 

Next one is not a proper capsule but a tiny room with walls, etc. See the organized space and cleaning. All so great but the strong air con everywhere all the time.

Some pages from Japan

Just some pages written while I was in Japan recently.

As usual, traveling brings a huge quantity of information and ideas. They are impossible to process and document. One approach to solution is selecting and optimizing the information. Even so I need a lot of hours to keep my journal. It's not enough to write in the gaps (waiting for a meal or before sleep) but dedicate fresh and high quality time fo this precious and enjoyable task. For example a whole morning in a terrace. Accumulate delay everyday and eventually finish the travel pages at home is not a good way.

When writing is set a priority everything works.

 

Tokyo 2004 - 2018

Same place, same view and same concrete but maybe not same me.
Happy to see you again, Japan.

Tokyo underground

I'm realizing how good film photography is. Rich gray tones, grain and special atmosphere than digital has lost.
