Sleeping Capsules Are Common In Japan

Cultural traditions and norms around sleeping in Japan can be a bit quirky. Maybe because of the deeply entrenched work culture of Japan, it's normal to see people taking a nap just about anywhere they can. Because of this, sleeping capsules or extremely small hotel rooms have become quite popular in Japan. These tiny rooms cater to people that just need a place to catch some shut-eye between shifts or thrifty travelers.

Apparently, they're much cheaper than hotel rooms, so honestly, they seem like a good option if you're traveling through Japan and you're trying to save some money, despite their small size.
