After leaving Kyoto we went on to Kobe, cause on google we found a hint that near Kobe there was (for japanese references) a nice beach. And we just wanted to relax one day after being always on our feet. The result was in fact quite a good beach and a terrible sunburn...
The special thing is, that we slept in a capsule hotel. A capsule hotel is a hotel that doesnt consist of rooms but rather - guess what - capsules. One has 2m x 1m x 0,5m room in such a capsule and also a little TV, radio station and light. Here u see me climbing into one of the capsules. There were about 50 capsules in that one room and only men were allowed to stay in these hotels.
And everyone wore such a green outfit, including me and Kai (whereas Kai's was quite too small for a guy of 1,90m).
I also needed some time to convince him it was a good idea. He finally agreed and it was quite an experience! Capsule hotels only exist in Japan (I think so at least) and so we took the opportunity to stay there. Luckily they also had a wonderful Sento (public bath with hot water - like an Onsen) and the place was super clean.
Only some guys were quite loud during the night - but my earplugs prevented me mostly from hearing them cough, sneeze or snot. (The "door" is just like a linen cover so all noises come through - even farts!)
Capsule hotels aren't neccessarily for tourists, mostly business men try to get a "room" for a night. People staying longer than that are rather unusual I would say. We stayed two nights, though. One night was about 20 Euros or ~2500 Yen.
Welcome to a capsule hotel!
Only found in Japan, this low cost hotels can host dozens of customers in only one room.
It's definitively not for claustrophobic people!
For the story, I didn't planned my trip well and ended up in transit in an unknown Japanese town. The only youth hostel was sold out so I had to improvise.
I ended up in this huge Casino/hotel/Onsen complex, bargaining for a room.
For a pretty decent price, I was assigned my own capsule n°7001 and free access to the Onsen.
With nothing to do till my train on next morning, I spend the evening chilling in hot tubes, surrounded by naked Japanese guys that didn't speak a word of English!

A moss is a flowerless, spore-producing plant - with the spores produced in small capsules. ... The spore capsule, often with a supporting stalk (called a seta), is the sporophyte and this grows from the gametophyte stage. You will commonly see the statement that a moss gametophyte consists of leaves on stems
Christmas Time Capsule
The latest video is at the link below!!
Today let's take a look at the upstairs, the basement and the outbuildings of this abandoned time capsule!!
Called the Christmas Time Capsule for very good reason, this home was left in an untouched state for years and remained so until after it was first discovered. The house was filled with furniture, personal belongings, photos covering the walls, oh and of course Christmas decorations, lots and lots of decorations. Unfortunately time has not been kind to this "time capsule", vandals had discovered the home since the first explorers visited and tossed belongings everywhere, stolen items, put holes and even wrote graffiti on the walls. Despite all the destruction it was still a very interesting explore!
Having done a little bit of research I found out that the woman who lived here died in 2001 and her husband had died 9 years earlier. Does this mean that the home has been sitting abandoned for 20 years? I don't think so, I also found two calendars in the home dating back to 2011 and 2012 and I would imagine that's how long this home has been sitting. This leaves a gap of about 11 years where someone else was living in the home, maybe it was one of the children or some other relative, we may never have the answer to this. One thing that we know for sure is that the last occupants definitely liked Christmas and it is likely that the home was abandoned around that time. A few years ago the property was sold for tax arears which leads one to believe that the last occupant may have been having financial problems.
The home is now starting to show signs of mold growing in the kitchen and the basement but there seems to be a relatively new roof and the outside of the home was also updated with vinyl siding, if the property continues to sit, it could be a very long time before the home begins to decay naturally. If it weren't for the overgrown and unkept yard passersby would have no idea that this house is even sitting abandoned, that's how good it looks from the road. Only time will tell what happens to this property from this point onward.

Look at this antique wooden double spool of thread and a thimble. Hidden from view, there is a compartment - inside the long spool - for pins and needles. What a handy little gadget!
Thunbergia alata seed capsule. As the seed capsule dries down, and the temperature and humidity are just right, the bottom of the capsule breaks and springs open with force, held for a moment by the vert top. This movement disperses the seeds up to 10 feet. Impressive.
There are a few other examples of plant seed dispersal similar to the Thunbergia, but this seems the most eye catching.

One of the best examples of Japanese metabolist architecture. Also threatened with demolition. The building's residents have already voted to have it demolished and replaced with another, modern tower. But that has not happened yet, because a developer has not yet been found. In th meantime, only a handful of the capsules are still occupied. The rest are used for storage, or have been abandoned. There's netting over the entire building, which doesn't do much for its physical appearance.
