The idea of the “pod” hotel, and similarly the “capsule” variant, is a Japanese invention that appeared on the scene as long ago as 1979. Since then, similar hotels have opened around the world offering basic but cheap accommodations to travelers who wanted somewhere to stay while traveling light and didn’t want to pay the often exorbitant costs of larger hotel rooms. However, the innovators of this concept are still the best, and visitors to Tokyo can sleep comfortably and soundly in some of the finest hotels in Tokyo near train stations, seeing sights such as the Imperial Palace or shopping in the iconic Ginza district. Have a restful night’s sleep, waking up ready to see the best places to visit in Tokyo. Scroll down and check into one of these pod and capsule hotels in and near Tokyo Station.
