Hi Blog. \u00a0Joining the ranks of hundreds of other places nationwide that have “Japanese Only” rules in place<\/a> is this capsule hotel called “Kapuseru In Ohmiya” in Miyamachi 5-3-1, Ohmiya-ku, Saitama, close to JR Omiya Station East Exit, phone 048-641-4122. \u00a0Incidentally, and also in violation of Japan’s\u00a0Hotel Management Law<\/a>, it does not allow women to stay there\u00a0either. \u00a0Here’s a screen capture of their entry on Rakuten<\/a> as of August 18, 2014, with all their contact details. \u00a0Courtesy of MF.<\/p>\n

UPDATE AUGUST 21, 2014: \u00a0THEIR RAKUTEN ENTRY<\/a> HAS REMOVED THE “JAPANESE ONLY” RULE, AMENDED IT TO A “BRING A JAPANESE SPEAKER IF YOU DON’T SPEAK JAPANESE, AS THE STAFF DOESN’T SPEAK FOREIGN LANGUAGES”. \u00a0THE “MEN-ONLY” RULE REMAINS.
