In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Anshin Oyado Shinjuku is more than a capsule hotel — it is a low-cost Japanese-style relaxation package with everything rolled into one rate, from a high-heat sauna and artificial hot spring to breakfast and late-night ramen. The capsules run wider than a standard capsule and come with adjustable lighting, fast-charging USB ports and sleepwear. Your locker sits in a separate area from the sleeping pods, and the layout is arranged to keep guests from disturbing one another. Most reviews single out how clean and orderly the place is, and the quiet feel inside.
Food and amenities
The free services are the headline here. The high-heat sauna and artificial hot spring (kōso-yoku) are open 24 hours and free to use as much as you like, alongside several private shower booths. A curry breakfast and free late-night ramen are laid out in the lounge, with unlimited drinks all day. Add it up and these extras are worth more than $23 if you bought them separately — which is why guests keep saying they got more than they paid for, and why the Agoda 8.6/10 holds up.
Location and getting there
It is a 90-second walk from the Southeast exit of Shinjuku Station — no exit on the whole list sits closer. Shinjuku is the busiest rail hub in the world, so you can connect to any line: Shibuya in 5 minutes, Harajuku in 7, Shinjuku Gyoen in 3, or catch an Expressway bus to Nagoya or Osaka overnight.
Things to know before booking
This branch is men only — women are not admitted, though other Anshin Oyado branches are mixed, so check before you book. It also runs about twice the price of a standard capsule, so it is not the budget pick. And it fills up during Golden Week, so plan and reserve well ahead if you are traveling then.
Our take
Anshin Oyado is the best choice here for a man who wants a capsule stay but wants to get more than he paid for — a relaxing sauna, several free meals, and a spot right by the station so you never waste time hunting for dinner. Among this group, it is the standout for male travelers.
