A Capsule Hotel in Fukuoka

When I applied to go to Japan, I had the choice between Nagoya and Fukuoka so I have often wondered whether the grass is indeed greener on the other side.

Fukuoka is a bustling city, a shopper's paradise, so perhaps its a good thing that I didnt come here afterall. I only stayed here for a day having completely revised my trip to accommodate the weather so that I arrive in Kagoshima on a sunny day for my mountain trek.

I stayed in my first capsule hotel, its one of those things that I had wanted to try out before I came here. It was really cool; I had my own inbuilt TV and radio, and it actually felt rather snug and cosy. Obviously not for the claustrophic but otherwise, it was really comfortable and I had a good night's sleep.
