Developed in Japan, these cheap 'pod' hotels are a novelty for any traveller. With rows of small single bed enclosed capsules, accommodation is basic and intended to be overnight. There is separate storage for luggage and gender-separate communal bathrooms — some capsule hotels also have a sentō, a Japanese bath house, often for male guests only.

First time in a capsule hotel, it was spacious enough, I'm 6' 2" so my feet were close to the exit but it wasn't uncomfortable, A little warm in the summer so either sleep bare or have a really thin blanket.
It's close to the station and has 2 shopping complexes in close proximity. Vending machines were awesome and the bath/spa were awesome.
Bathroom was clean and the prepared towels and clothing were perfect.
Manga and massage area were great just that the manga were all in japanese.

Rex-Inn is a male capsule hotel, about 5 minutes on foot from central Kawasaki and the station. It mainly caters to locals, and less so to tourists. This is noticeable with little English and no tourism information at hand at all, they won't hold your luggage for free either.
That said, it is a very cost-effective way of staying central. The shared bath and sauna are very enjoyable. WiFi works fine and staff will help you as much as possible.

When you walk from JR Kawasaki Station towards La Cittadella, you'll find a capsule hotel tucked away towards the back. Inside, there's a large communal bath, an open-air bath, and a sauna, which I think is more than enough for a solo trip.

Great way to experience a Japanese Capsule hotel. Great value for money, and the communal Onsen was a real experience, and such a great spa. We used this after a late night flight in. Good location across the road from the Kawasaki Train station.
