paradise is a Japanese capsule paradise, would not be my description of it, far from it in fact. however,you must remember that capsule hotels are not design for luxury, but to provide basic overnight accommodation for business travellers and are mainly men only.this one was no exception.on my visit here I was on a bit of an endurance stay as I was visiting japan on a budget and I was there for martial arts training rather than a holiday.so if you can put up with what these type of places offer and provide, they are ideal for solo male travelers on a budget. my booking last October was working out at around £27.50 per night with a small breakfast provided. so what happens at one of these places,well first you have to find it,it wasn't to difficult as its located about 4 minutes walk from shin Matsudo station,but it is down a back street. when walking there in an evening you have to be aware of the prostitutes that hang around Japanese railway stations, asking western travelers if they would like "massargee ". on arrival at reception which is up one flight of stairs you take your shoes off and take them to the counter with you. now for difficulty number 2,staff speak next to no English what so ever,so if your Japanese isn't good then you struggle but you will still get by as I did.  once your booked in you will be given a key for your shoe locker,go and put your shoes in it,then back to the reception,you will then be given your night wear,towels,main locker key and your meal tickets for breakfast in the morning ( don't forget to present these at breakfast or you will be charged ).reception also has a drinks vending machine and you can also borrow umbrellas from there for the rainy days. you then go to the main locker room which also has toilets and a washing area,hair salon, there is also a pay per use washing machine and dryer for those like me on a longer stay.you get changed in to your night wear and put your day clothes in the main locker. now you have to remember this is japan and their customs and ways are very different to ours. so expect nudity in this area and that the attendants will sometimes be women,also note that this area is on CCTV for crime prevention even though japan has a very low crime rate. next you can go to the bath house,again same thing applies nude bathing and women attendants in all areas,but you soon get used to it. first you go to a wash station,soap yourself and wash it off with the showerhead,thsi is also where you shave and clean your teeth,once you are completely clean and free of soap you then soak in the Jacuzzi tub for a while. be aware that the water is very hot and you can only stay in for about 5-6 minutes at a time,there is also a sauna cabin but again this is very hot and humid.you then go and get dry and its off to your capsule to sleep. these are not suitable for anyone who is claustrophobic due to the limited size,but as I am not I found them ok. the matress is very thin and can feel as if your sleeping on the floor,each capsule has a television,radio,alarm clock, and a power point built in.sound proofing is none existent  so expect to hear snoring and other unpleasant bodily sounds. As  I said,this is not the garden of eden,but it worked for me on my limited budget,i did this 3 night stay in japan with,flights,food,accomadation,  eating and drinking out for less than £1500. capsule hotels are not for the faint hearted but can serve their purpose and if you want a genuine Japanese experience,they are worth a try. some are better than others and there are some new types available that offer slightly more room and a full size bed,that are a little more expensive but still economical. if you do decide to give this one a go,best of luck and brush up on your Japanese. for all its short comings if I had to I would stay there again but not as a first choice unless money was tight or I was traveling with someone else.
