SPABLIC INN - CAPSULE HATAGO AKASAKA, Tokyo

The hotel is within a few steps of Akasaka Fudoson Itokuji Temple and 400 metres from Akasaka Biz Tower Shops & Dining. Akasaka-Mitsuke Station provides access to four subway lines, making it easy to reach major districts in 12-15 minutes. Tokyo Haneda Airport is 15 km away, and shuttle buses from both Haneda and Narita airports serve the nearby area. The surrounding streets are lined with restaurants, convenience stores, pharmacies, and a Bic Camera. For navigation, use Exit 10 of Akasaka-Mitsuke Station (with escalator/elevator), turn right, then left at the ramp, and look for the tall sign on the right past Family Mart - the hotel entrance is on the 3rd floor via elevator.

Each capsule is equipped with air conditioning, a personal fan, light switches, outlet, and a comfortable bed. Capsules are available in upper and lower bunks; the upper bunk requires climbing. The internal dimensions fit travellers up to about 188 cm in length comfortably, though taller individuals may find the length tight. All bedding and yukata robes are changed daily. Capsules are enclosed by a roll-down blind - not a solid door - so valuables should be stored in the provided lockers. A wristband scanner controls access to lockers, sleeping areas, and the spa, adding security. The property is male-only, and shared bathrooms are in use, but cleanliness is maintained to a high standard. Daily housekeeping replenishes towels and amenities. A quiet, serene atmosphere is maintained throughout the property.

The wellness area includes a large public bath, two saunas (including a smaller sauna where water can be thrown onto the stones for a lōyly effect), a hot tub/Jacuzzi, and a spacious relaxation lounge with tatami mats. All facilities are free for overnight guests. Towels, yukata robes, and amenities such as razors, toothbrushes, hair products, and cotton buds are provided. Lockers in the bathroom area allow secure storage during spa use. The spa can be accessed late at night and early morning - up to 8 a.m. - making it practical after night-time arrival or before a morning checkout. A massage chair is also available in the common area. The space is kept immaculately clean and has a calm, traditional Japanese atmosphere.

The property provides a 24-hour reception with very friendly, English-competent staff. Check-in and check-out are streamlined with a wristband system; private check-in/check-out is available. Luggage storage is free and can handle bags that do not fit in the lockers - oversized items are stored at reception. The lockers accommodate carry-on size suitcases; larger items are kept behind the front desk. Free daily housekeeping refreshes bedding when the capsule door is left open in the morning. A dedicated workspace with a soundproofed cubicle is available. Safety features include 24-hour security, CCTV, key card access, smoke alarms, and safety deposit boxes. Wi-Fi is free throughout and reliable. No laundry facility on-site, but a coin laundry is a 10-minute walk away. Parcel delivery service is accepted, but packages must arrive on the day of your stay. The business centre is available for an additional charge.
