Why are Japanese capsule hotels unpopular in China?

Nowadays, hotels have become an indispensable living facility for China people. With the development of economic life, more and more people use hotels. First of all, travelers need to use hotels, and they need a stable and stable rest environment. People who travel abroad on business also need hotels. People who go home late at night need hotels, and unmarried couples also need hotels. Therefore, the hotel industry has developed very fast, and now it has spread all over the towns of China.

The fiery development of hotels will naturally promote the industrial upgrading of hotels, and the quantity will also change qualitatively. Therefore, there are many different types of hotels, such as couple hotels for couples, express hotels for business travelers, and parent-child hotels for family travel, all designed to serve different types. However, if we want to talk about popular hotels in recent years, we should talk about "capsule hotels" in Japan.

Capsule Hotel is a new hotel designed by the famous Japanese architect Ito Kurokawa. Its business model is like this: once you step into the hotel gate, the enthusiastic staff will hand over a pair of sterilized slippers, and then the passengers will get a wardrobe after paying the money. If you can lock your carry-on luggage in the closet, you can go to the "room", which is actually a bit like our sleeping car in China. Most rooms are square spaces with a length of 2m * 1 m * 1 .25m, just like capsules, so the capsule hotel has another name, but a1m 8 can still lie in it and turn over, and there are beds, tables and televisions in it. In fact, the space is not crowded. In addition, this hotel is usually linked to the sauna bath center, so it is still there.

This hotel was bred in Japan's unique social environment because of the lack of urban space and unique overtime culture. However, because of its stunt, this hotel has many homes in China today. The first capsule hotel in China was introduced to China on 20 1 1, and its address was near the North Square of Shanghai Railway Station. After Beijing, Shanghai and Xi 'an, it opened another one in Kunming and settled in Chongqing on 20 12. By 20 14, a capsule hotel was also launched in Taian, Shandong Province, with similar cases.

But now some of these capsule hotels have closed down, and some are flat in business. Many people are curious about why Japanese capsule hotels with occupancy rate close to 100% come to China but are "acclimatized". In fact, the main reason is that there are not so many people in need in China, especially these capsule hotels are mainly opened in scenic spots, and there are even fewer people in need. But now some transportation hubs have also launched this kind of hotel, which has a certain response.

Second, it comes from service. The relative facilities of China Capsule Hotel are not so complete, so there are often some problems, such as sound. In order to keep ventilation, capsule hotels are generally not closed. Instead, curtains are used to let air in. But in this way, there are dozens of capsule rooms in an area, and the noise of the bathroom next door, the sound of playing mobile phones next door, and the voice of speaking are often very noisy, which makes many guests complain.

So in these cases, the capsule hotel is not so popular in China, but after all, it depends on personal feelings and the concept is relatively novel. I don't know if it's you. Are you used to staying in such a hotel?
