So for this trip we decided not to move our stuff every few days, which led me struggling post-finals trying to decide where to stay during our trip in Tokyo. Most people recommended Shinjuku, but most bedding spaces have ran out or were getting too expensive for my willingness-to-pay -hence the choice of staying near Asakusa.
We arrived Haneda late in midnight, and I found out that there's not too many public transport options to the city centre. V is against the idea of staying over at the airport, and my friend J recommended this capsule hotel in Shibuya to try out if I go to Tokyo... so here goes my virgin capsule hotel experience for the first night here!
P.S. Public transportation from the airport costs twice as expensive at midnight, so think twice before you book.
Nadeshiko Capsule Hotel (Female only)
I would recommend travelers who pack light to stay here, as there is no locker size that is humongous enough to fit a 24" suitcase (why am I always going home after visiting Japan...) and there's no elevator in this building.Hell yeah that's how I build my muscles.
My favourite part about hotels in Japan has to be their public bath. The staff lets us choose a super cute welcome pack filled with toiletries before we leave for our capsules. Nadeshiko's public bath is empty at 2AM and has a pink Mt. Fuji background (which makes it extra cute). I LOVE the design of the tubs, we took one each (again) and went to bed at 3AM... What a waste of an experience but that's all we could do when we only had a few hours to sleep in. We checked out and left the luggage here for storage before exploring Daikanyama.
Our second home in Tokyo was APA Asakusa Tawaramachi Ekimae. This hotel chain is infamous for having very small rooms, but we only had two girls and wanted to enjoy the public bath more frequently in winter so we went for it.

There are so many floors in this narrow little building, and the public bath is on the uppermost level. This part of the building is connected to the outdoor air, and it can be a chilling experience on the way to the public bath in your yukata. For Skytree fans, it's possible to see the building from the * ahem* outdoor public bath (it's just a window...) and because the public bath is that popular, you may have to avoid peak hours and go in later.
We stayed here for 5 nights, and we were pleased with the service. Location wise, it is very close from the second-last station on the Ginza line from Shibuya. The Tokyo Metro Subway ticket added extra points to it!

Alright. What you see here involved some magic from a wide angle lens. The hotel room is clean and compact, and you can see it's impossible to fully open a 24" suitcase. It's Tokyo after all, I'm happy for the price that I've paid.
