Osaka capsule hotels: What exactly are they?
Osaka’s capsule hotels are a must-try experience. Originating in the city, they offer unique and budget-friendly lodging options. These hotels feature small capsules designed for one person, with communal bathrooms and large baths. Initially inspired by spaceship sleeping quarters, they provide comfort and amenities in a compact space.
While originally catering to men, capsule hotels now welcome all travelers, often with separate floors for men and women.
Here are our top recommended Osaka capsule hotels. Enjoy a convenient and affordable stay without hesitation!

First Cabin Midosuji Namba: Get Ready to Land!
First Class Cabin (Image: Booking.com)
First Cabin Midosuji Namba is located very ideally for Namba Station and offers a modern, and more spacious, form of capsule hotel. The theme of this hotel is airplanes, so rather than having a capsule guests can stay in “cabins.” It is directly connected to Namba Station which allows guests to easily get around in Osaka, and in addition it is just a short walk away from the Dotonbori area and Osaka Castle can be reached in just 15 minutes.
