I didn't sleep here so I can't comment on the capsules. I have visited the sento a few times though. It's in a convenient location and open 24 hours which is a major draw card when you need a soak after a long night. It's expensive compared to more local sento and the variety of baths are limited. Nice rotenburo but the temperature of the water isn't hot enough for my preferences.

A unique experience and a must try to see the world of sleeping in a pod. Price is cheap, even on expensive days. Bed is very thin, but OK if you sleep on your back. Pods share the same area, so you may hear snoring and some TV on occasion. The shower/soda area is huge, and communal. There are 2 sauna, and various pools of water from ice pools to hit springs. Most signs are in Japanese, so you may have to ask for help

Not a single word in English made this first experience with capsule very confusing for me. Since shower is part of onsen kind of place, to take it, I had to lock my shoes in one place, my luggage in another, locate my capsule, don compulsory homewear pajamas kind of clothes, put it in another locker in spa section of the building so by the time I got the shower, I gave up the plan of going back to the city afterwards thus reversing the whole process.. But otherwise it was a nice place to sit and chill, provided with all you can need (included in price is the onsen, disposable razors, toothbrush etc..) capsule is about 190 cm long so I had sqush a bit.
