The concept behind Japanese Capsule Hotels is that they cater to businessmen who don’t have the time to go home. The 9h Hotel or Nanaiwasu, however, is more of a luxury capsule hotel. Standing at 9 stories tall, it stores 125 capsules that make use of Panasonic’s environmental and lighting control system. Designed by Fumie Shibata of Design Studio S, 9h stands for Nine Hours. 1 hour to shower + 7 hours of sleep + 1 hour to rest. The first hotel is set to open in December of 2009, located in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto.
