The people of Nakagin Capsule Tower are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the history of the soon-to-be-demolished iconic building.
It’s time to congregate around the entrance gate and gasp in awe at how big and cool this house is.
Historic building used to be a brothel, now its ornate interiors are in danger of fading away.
Architectural landmark will soon be gone forever, but there’s still a chance of preserving its history for the future.
We move into a capsule apartment in the iconic landmark, and find out it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.
The announcement suggests you can print your own futuristic home sphere for the price of a car!
A hidden treasure opposite the Imperial Palace looks set to go under the hammer for a high price.
