Hourly hotels/capsules near Haneda Airport that allow late morning stays?

In the end, turns out I was misreading their website: First Cabin is open to hourly stays 24/7, the only catch being that they close the showers for a few hours from 10 AM.

I tried them out this morning (I’m actually typing this inside the capsule!): the morning package is a minimum of 3 hours for ¥3000 in a “First Class Cabin”, with additional hours ¥1000 each. So my 5-hour stay from 6 to 11 AM cost me ¥5000.

There are many “Internet-cafe” in the center of Tokyo and they sell its seats in more flexible time slot, usually starting by 3 hours. They don’t sell the seats like the typical accommodations such as hotels and hostels, so you can purchase whatever hours you like just on arrival.

These cafes were originally designed for the use of a computer and Internet with drink, but now is used as a cheap accommodation mainly for people from the countryside who usually have unstable, irregular jobs in Tokyo and can’t afford to the rent. That makes many Internet cafes adopt services such as shower rooms, tooth brushes, hair dryers, etc…

But the quality as the accommodation is, IMHO, quite awful. If you are extremely sleepy I think you have no problem on sleeping there, but I rather want to spend some time in (normal) cafes.

If you want to lie asleep, choose a “couple seat” which is more spacious.

Not necessarily what you are looking for, but you could book an extra night at the hotel prior to the night when you do have a booking and tell them that you have a really late checkin at 7AM and don’t give your room away.

This has the advantage that you can go directly to your main hotel and crash there rather than dealing with going to/from a second hotel.

However I have no idea if it is financially better/worse for you to do this.
