The 15，000 yen capsule hotels have also risen in price and are fully booked！I can’t stay in a hotel so a 3，000 yen dormitory room will do．

★Hotel prices soar in Tokyo…Sauna costs 3,000 yen a night, sleeping in a dormitory is also a priority for cheap, so managers “sleep at the office”
Hotel prices in Tokyo are soaring with no end in sight. Even staying in a capsule hotel cheaply has become difficult, forcing guests to resort to all sorts of money-saving tricks to make ends meet. Shinjuku late at night. Two men were sweating in a sauna that was over 110 degrees Celsius. In fact, these two people didn’t come here just to take a sauna bath. This facility also has a rest area where you can stay until the morning. He said he came to Tokyo on a trip, but couldn’t find accommodation within his budget, so he decided to spend the night here. The price is 3,000 yen, including a towel and indoor wear. Even after the two of them lay down, just after 2 a.m., people continued to arrive at the facility, turning it into a refuge for people with no place to stay. The background to this phenomenon is the soaring prices of hotels in Tokyo. Due to inbound demand and rising prices, the average hotel accommodation cost in Tokyo last month exceeded 16,000 yen. This is roughly 1.5 times the price compared to 2019, before COVID-19. However, in the future, that “correct answer” may no longer be valid. At a capsule hotel located a five-minute walk from Yokohama Station, strong demand was pushing up prices significantly. Hidetaka Yonemoto of the Nine Hours Hotel Operations Department said, “Since the end of the coronavirus pandemic, our numbers have been on the rise. On holidays, the amount is 12,000 to 15,000 yen. “I get the impression that business, inbound, and domestic travel are all on the rise.”
Even at this price, it’s extremely difficult to make a reservation. For example, the first day of the next three-day weekend, the 2nd of next month, is already fully booked. I asked the guests when they made their reservations. A tourist from Nagasaki Prefecture said, “I made the reservation more than two months ago. I thought it would be nice to be able to choose from a range of options for around 10,000 to 20,000 yen.”
