Located in Otsu, a 9-minute train ride from Kyoto Station, Calendar Hotel has a terrace and rooms with free WiFi access. Featuring a shared lounge, this 2-star capsule hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a shared bathroom. Guests can sample European dishes at the on-site restaurant.

Very clean and comfortable to stay. They provide various amenities including pajamas and moisturiser cream, that may be common in accommodations in Japan but I didn’t expect they would provide it in a capsule hotel. The staff are really friendly and helpful. They would tell you good places to visit in Shiga prefecture. The breakfast was good and definitely worth the price.

Situated in Kyoto, less than 1 km from Gion Shijo Station, TSUKIMI HOTEL features air-conditioned accommodation and a terrace. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Sanjusangen-do Temple is 1.8 km away and Heian Shrine is 2.2 km from the capsule hotel.

It was great location near the main shrine in Kyoto. I could walk around easily. It was like a capsule hotel which you can enjoy your private hotel in the same room. Very clean and modern.

Amenity Hotel Kyoto offers affordable Japanese-style rooms and is situated around a 10-minute walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Kodai-ji Temple. It features free Wi-Fi, a Chinese restaurant and drinks vending machines. Lockers and a launderette are available.

Love that they have bunkbed and separate single bed in one room. Perfect location since it’s super near to Ninenzaka, kimono rental shop, and the bus stop. There’s also some restaurants nearby too.

At Rumor Plaza Sauna & Capsule Hotel, guests will find a communal sauna and bathroom. Guests can enjoy reading manga at the shared lounge. Luggage storage is available at the 24-hour front desk and vending machines are also available on site.

EVERYTHING! The location is great. The Hotel with breakfast included, top!. Everyday fresh sheets, pijama and bottle of water in the capsule. Reception open 24 hours. The workers are all of the really nice!!! The Onsen, 24 hours open (I think, if not, they close just a couple of hours), with 3 different Saunas and a great outside Spa with views of the city. Every bathroom was ready with toothbrush, razor and anything you can need. The installations are clean and new. It's definitely one of the best experiences that I've had in my whole life. Best relation between price and quality ever. I recommend it 200%. (Just in case you have tattoos, you have to cover them to use the Onsen)

All units at the capsule hotel are equipped with a flat-screen TV and a safety deposit box. The shared bathroom is equipped with a bidet, free toiletries and slippers. At Glansit Kyoto Kawaramachi every room is equipped with bed linen and towels.

Very clean, excellent facilities, free tea/coffee/hot chocolate in the lounge which I didn't expect. Sleepers in other cubicles were audible but very quiet. I stayed here for the novelty but would come back.

Looking for a capsule hotel?

Developed in Japan, these cheap 'pod' hotels are a novelty for any traveller. With rows of small single bed enclosed capsules, accommodation is basic and intended to be overnight. There is separate storage for luggage and gender-separate communal bathrooms — some capsule hotels also have a sentō, a Japanese bath house, often for male guests only.

    The hotel staff assisted me to find back my AirPod lost in the room, and delivered to my Tokyo hotel. Truly appreciated . And thanks for the help. There’s free shuttle bus take you to nearby railway station, kind of convenient instead of by walking. The lake view is awesome!

    1. Room with Japanese style and stmosphere, but big enough. 2. Service is very good, not only the friendly and passionate staff, but also the local snacks, wine, provided in lobby.

    I loved everything about Yumotokan. It was my 2nd time staying at their accomodation. Everyone is friendly, the staff were very professional and welcoming. They treat you very well, take care of you as if you were a king/queen. I really do appreciate all the staff there who made my 2nd visit welcoming & fun! The onsens were beautiful & relaxing. Food prepared by chef tasted so fresh & delicious. Rooms are huge & very japanese traditional style. I would definately come back in the future.

    The staff were super friendly and helpful and the guy owning the cafe downstairs plays really nicely the piano. The kitchen is beautiful and has a relaxed atmosphere, and I especially liked the Sento (Japanese bathing house). Oh and of course, the beach is almost in front of the hostel!

    It was very nice to stay in a real Japanese house. It was well outfitted and very clean with many amenities. It was a little hard to find in the dark. Hostess was very friendly and communicative

    I loved everything about this stay. The hotel and rooms are beautiful and very traditional. We had the room with the garden view and I highly recommend, I could have sat on that porch for hours looking at the garden. The staff were so friendly and helpful and very patient with my terrible Japanese! The breakfast was delicious and v generous. Good location - easy to find and walking distance from the station. I recommend the local restaurant Kadoman to try Omi beef, the best meal of my life!

    Very friendly staff, always happy to oblige. Beautiful large room with spectacular lake view. We ate in the Italian and Garden buffet restaurants, food in both was fabulous if a little pricey by Japanese standards.
