Would You Sleep In This Floating Capsule Hotel That Drifts To A Desert Island By Morning?
Japan is known worldwide for their imaginative hotels, but this one may have gone a little too far. It’s a spherical ‘capsule’ hotel room that floats on the water, and people on the Internet are having mixed reactions to it.
The floating Mizukami Hotel was designed by Netherlands-inspired theme park Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki, and includes beds, toilets, and showers. “The room is the same as ordinary hotels, 36 to 38 square meters, about 4 people will be able to stay,” stated Hideo Sawada, president of Huis Ten Bosch. The capsule slowly drifts toward an island which the company recently purchased and is renovating into a resort, and is slated to be open for business next winter.
Users of Japanese online news source Matome News commented varying opinions on the capsule, with some fearing they may “wake up in the morning washed up in North Korea”. If you’d like a turn inside this claustrophobic orb, it’ll cost you around $300 a night. Watching Titanic during your journey is not recommended.

Share on FacebookI want to go there! Im incredibly claustrophobic, but it looks like so much fun!
For real though. This was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pictures. GokuShip1-...ec-png.jpg
I don' like the fact that people can so clearly see into the bedroom, otherwise it looks very nice. Also would worry about the sanitary system (especially with what some people think they can just flush in their toilet) Some options to drive around with it would also be nice, the farther out to the see you are the less light you get from the land and can enjoy an actual dark night.
definitely! anything that involves "sleep" & "island" is a winning combo!!
If I wasn't physically disabled, I'd definitely try something like that. It sounds so adventurous & would probably be a very peaceful journey, too; great for book-aholics! LOL. 🌊✨🌴✨🌊
The only thing I find not so inviting is the fact, that you are sleeping under a glass roof, so you'll be up with sunrise. -_-And no way I'd be cooped up there with 3 other people. Otherwise it's not that different from a small boat, so, yeah, I'd do it.
