This word was chosen by the company who opened the<strong> world\u2019s first capsule hotel <\/strong>in 1979: the \u2018Capsule Inn Osaka\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>The designers laid the successful blueprint which many others have since replicated.

They key for the shoe lockers is often left at the reception.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Capsule hotel robes.\u00a0<\/strong>Guests are usually <strong>given a gown or robe<\/strong> to change into. It is not considered rude to walk around the hotel wearing these.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cover tattoos when bathing.\u00a0<\/strong>Many capsule hotels have <strong>fantastic communal baths<\/strong> which are normally separated by gender. Wash your body and hair before bathing and also cover your tattoos if possible. <strong>Tattoos are associated with crime<\/strong> in Japan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Be quiet and courteous in your capsule.\u00a0<\/strong>The <strong>walls are generally thin<\/strong> and you\u2019re very close to your neighbors.
