“Masato” owns one of the Nakagin Capsule Tower’s modules though presumably he lives elsewhere… how else could he rent out his unit for$76.50 per night plus a $25 cleaning fee? Masato thoughtfully provides a host of essential amenities including soaps & shampoo, towels, toilet tissue and free WiFi. The modules are air conditioned in summer and heated in winter.
Should you choose to visit the Airbnb listing and rent the unit, you’ll have to follow a few simple rules: maximum occupancy is 2 people, no smoking, and no shoes may be worn in the room. You can book the module for a minimum of one night – can you imagine staying a week?
As rumors of Nakagin Capsule Tower’s imminent closure and demolition have been running rampant for years, there’s no telling if or when circumstances will intervene to render Masato’s unique opportunity null and void. Better contact him via Airbnb now if you wanna make like Wolverine and enjoy a slice of history! (via Tokyoite, images © Airbnb, Inc.)
