      Wondering if anyone tried staying in a capsule hotel?
      I can’t decide if it will be an interesting experience for my kids just for one night or if it is not worth a potentially sleepless night.

      We tried capsule hotel at Narita airport on our last night in Tokyo for the sake of experiencing it. Anyway, our flight to Singapore was in the morning so capsule hotel at the airport makes sense.

      The capsule hotel is clean, modern and orderly. There was no drunken workers. Most (or all) are tourists. There are no baths, only individual standing showers with doors. Male and female are in separate sections. You don’t see other gender other than in the check-in/out lobby.

      @ ngl2010 Amazing experience you hv there with capsule hotel! Think it works coz at the airport, there’ll be less chances of shady character & wld generally be safer. Good that M/F segregated. If ever I hv time, might just try it.

            Is there any place/area that we can venture out of Osaka as a day trip, besides Kyoto, Kobe and Nara, within 30mins-1hour by train?

                For us, Kyoto is highly recommended. Nara is subjective. Unless you hv very young kids, they might enjoy. But be very careful with deers who might ‘bite’ for their food & scare yr kids. I didn’t enjoy the visit coz nothing much to ‘sightsee’ with deers. We enjoy more of their atmosphere, food and culture. Try their kabuki & theatre. Kobe not much except I managed to get nice soap fr the Garden (can’t rmbr name off-hand).
