The latest innovation in travel lodging can be found primarily in Japan but has also spread to a few other countries. It is the "capsule hotel," where the weary traveler can rent what is essentially a well-furnished kennel for his (many of these hotels will not rent to females) overnight stay, which includes a TV, wi-fi, heating and cooling, a bed, a desk, and a large red button which can be pressed to provide, at extra cost, porno movies. Each "room" is a plastic pod of about 6.5 feet by 3.3 feet by 4 feet (2 m by 1 m by 1.25 m).
There is a communal bathroom and a locker room for the traveler's suitcase. The hotel provides sleepwear for use in the cubicle.
The cost per night is usually about $20 to $40 US.
