BOOK AND BED SHINJUKU

-

Savants can sleep easy at this bonkers hostel, where bookcases double as compact capsule beds. This branch of the Tokyo hostel chain, opened last May in neon-lit Shinjuku, follows its signature industrial chic aesthetic: concrete floors, exposed pipes, plywood shelves packed

with thousands of tomes. The 55 guest rooms range from singles, accessed via a ladder, to king size. The cafe has a theme colour: try the avocado on jet-black toast. ROOMS: From £35, room only. bookandbed­tokyo.com
