DO-C EBISU

The do-c concept can be summed up in two words: sleep and sauna. Revamped last year, the capsule hotel’s newly pared-back look means plenty of plywood and concrete. Check in and receive a bag with a towel, pyjamas, toothbrush and toiletries — for that sleepover feel. The capsules (separated into men’s and women’s areas) are retro-beige and stacked two-high with just enough space to sit up in. Finnish-style saunas on the ninth and third floors are welcome additions, scented with mint essence and heated to a scorching 90C. They include cooling showers, ranging from 30C to a frigid 15C. This isn’t the spot to sweat the small stuff. ROOMS: From ¥4,900 (£33) for an overnight stay (including sauna use), ¥1,500 (£10) for a one-hour nap and ¥1,000 (£6) for an hour in the sauna. do-c.jp/en
