Nakagin Capsule Tower 中銀カプセルタワー

The origin of capsule hotels

South of the Ginza district, near Shinbashi, is a unique building that stands out in the landscape of Tokyo skyscrapers, the Nakagin Capsule Tower. The work of a Japanese architect, Kisho Kurokawa, founder of the Metabolist Architecture or "metaborizumu," was a post-war Japanese architectural movement that fused ideas about architectural megastructures with those of organic biological growth.
