As much as I wanted to go through the experience of a traditional house + authentic Japanese food + Japanese bath at a rokyan, the fact remains that we cannot really afford any of these expensive guest houses. Even the normal-out-of-kyoto-in-the-middle-of-nowhere ryokan we saw on Agoda is beyond our budget. It is not a secret that hotels in Japan are very expensive!<\/p>\n<p>Still wanting a \u201csomething different\u201d experience, I figured out that staying in a \u201ccapsule hotel\u201d for one night would be the next best thing. Capsule hotel is literally \u201cextremely small capsules\u201d that provide just enough space for one person to sleep. A truly no-frill style accommodation. In fact to some extent it resembles a corpse drawer in a morgue! At that point, I had some difficulties convincing my wife to explore staying in a capsule hotel for one night.<\/p>\n<p>After a long debate, she finally knocked some sense into me and I started to see the disadvantages of a capsule hotel such as space of our huge luggage, privacy to pray, claustrophobic, etc. Finally Alhamdulillah thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.agoda.com\/first-cabin-kyoto-karasuma\/hotel\/kyoto-jp.html?CID=1437595\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Agoda<\/a>, we discovered something that still has some elements of a capsule hotel but provides a bit of luxury (and space!). To top things off, it is an aviation-themed hotel!
