“First Cabin's capsule concept near Nijo Castle makes it ideal for solo female travelers; I particularly noted the thoughtful touches like snacks and drinks available in the common area. Be mindful that the late-night and early-morning activity inherent to capsule hotels can be disruptive. All considered, the location and amenities make it a practical choice.”
