More Than a Capsule Stay: Why Solo Travelers Choose “global cabin Yokohama Chinatown”
“I want to stay at a capsule hotel at least once during my trip to Japan!”
This wish often appears on the must-do list of Western travelers because of capsule hotels’ futuristic, minimalist spaces that feel uniquely Japanese and frequently go viral on social media.
