DAY 2 Finally in Tokyo

At 5am, quite early in the morning came the shuttle to take me back at the airport.

I had a quick, but very delicious breakfast at the business lounge, and after came a 10 hours flight from Doha to Tokyo Haneda. The flight was OK, but as OK as a long flight can be. 
No turbulances we were flying like knife in the butter. 
After arrival there was a health control, the immigration, and the custom, it was an hour :(.

After the procedures there was no other choice except the taxi, no shuttle, no limouisine bus, nothing, because it was too late :(. First I went to my "basic accomodation", left the luggage and went to the Capsula Hotel in Kyobashi. How shall I say, I got what I expected. :)


A capsule hotel  is a type of hotel developed in Japan (the 1st was in Osaka in 1979) that features a large number of extremely small "rooms" (capsules) intended to provide cheap, basic overnight accommodation for guests who do not require the services offered by more conventional hotels.


The guest room is a modular plastic block roughly 2 by 1 by 1.25 m (6 ft 7 in by 3 ft 3 in by 4 ft 1 in). Facilities include a "television", an electronic console, and WIFI connection. The capsules are stacked side-by-side, two units high, with steps providing access to the second level rooms. The open end of the capsule can be closed, for privacy, with a curtain, but you can hear everything:). There are separate mae and female sections.
Luggage is stored in a locker,capsule and washrooms are communal.

Once it was interesting, but enough!
