Capsule hotels

Stacked like battery hens.

Battery hens with TVs and plenty of head room.

Capsule hotels: Complete with basement jacuzzi, sauna, lounge and instant noodle dispensers; Disposable everything for your personal grooming; Internet and manga storage on the top floor; Silent pyjama-clad businessmen padding softly through the halls or jerking off to the non-stop porn channel; Tickets from the entrance vending machine in one-night, morning/evening or 3 hour varieties.

Here's me, number 317. Snug as a bug in a ru... cocoon.

Do you get a curtain, or do you have to whack-off to the audience of the cacoon inhabitant opposite you?

A cocoon wouldn't qualify as such if the outside world could look in would it? Privacy is assured, and they seem pretty soundproof as well as having the speakers right next to your head...

Looks really claustrophobic and not alot of elbow room for a cheeky span

Roomier than it looks - you can sit up straight in one. Only funny bit is getting out gracefully, especially when wearing the supplied yukata pyjama things - knee length one-piece as they are.
