Last To Leave Capsule Hotel Wins $ 100,000
Today, we are doing a last-to-leave 100-hour survival challenge in the world's smallest hotel known as a capsule hotel. A capsule hotel is an extremely tiny sleeping pod, and we're going to be sleeping in various types of them, including the cheapest capsule hotel, a first-class capsule hotel, and the most futuristic capsule hotel.
Starting with the Library Capsule Hotel
The first capsule hotel we stayed at is called the Book and Bed Cafe. It's a library-style capsule hotel where you sleep inside a hidden fort. It feels like being in a treehouse, sleeping inside a bookshelf for about $ 50 a night. You can choose from thousands of books or magazines to read. While the environment is cozy, the quiet atmosphere can be somewhat restraining for those who love activities like late-night chatting.
Experiencing Tokyo's Top Attractions
If you survive the night, you get to experience Tokyo's top attractions the next day. We started with a ferris wheel ride for karaoke followed by a visit to a restaurant. Our day even included having fun with a rented boyfriend, specifically arranged for our friend Sean.
Futuristic Cafe and Food Delivery by Robots
We then visited the most futuristic cafe staffed entirely by robots. The robots took us to our table, entertained us while we waited for our food by singing, and even prepared our meals. Some of the robots here were controlled by real people from home, offering disabled people a chance to work remotely.
The Cheapest Capsule Hotel
Next, we stayed at the cheapest capsule hotel for $ 20 a night, which included neither free food or amenities. People had to sleep in hallways due to mold issues. Despite its shortcomings, the TV and central location in Tokyo provided some comfort.
Disneyland Tokyo
We spent an entire day at Disneyland Tokyo, enjoying various rides and unique snacks that made it an impressive experience. The lines were remarkably short, allowing us to go on every single ride in the park. The food options were also quite varied, including unique popcorn flavors.
The Sleep Lab and First-Class Cabin
Our next stay was at the Sleep Lab, a capsule hotel providing a space-pod experience. The capsules are equipped with dimmable lights and cameras to monitor your sleep quality. From here, we moved to the first-class cabin, a more luxurious option separating men and women on different floors. This $ 67 accommodation included a spa and even 24/7 room service that went out to fetch McDonald’s for us.
Business Encounters and Arcade Fun
We then explored various animal cafes and a robot-staffed hotel, which provided an eerie yet fascinating experience. Tokyo's biggest arcade was up next, where we tried our hand at winning prizes.
The Grand Finale: Mystery Luxury Resort
After surviving 100 hours in various capsule hotels, we traveled by train to our mystery resort—a luxurious zen garden retreat featuring heated infinity ponds, Japanese-style bedrooms, and a personal sauna. It was the perfect end to our incredible challenge.
