A floating capsule hotel is coming to Japan
The amusement park offering will take you to a desert island overnight In case you didn?t already think it was weird to visit a faux medieval Dutch city on an island in Sasebo, Japan, soon you?ll be able to leave the fake town?s ferry port via a floating orb, arriving next day on a desert island. That?s that plan of Sasebo?s Dutch-themed park Huis Ten Bosch anyway.
The spherical, two-story vessels are literal capsule dwellings, each carrying up to four people across nearly 3.75 miles of water. Huis Ten Bosch plans to put the new floating hotel rooms into operation by the end of the year. Guests will be charged between $260 and $350 a night, falling asleep during the leisurely drift out to sea and waking up at the company?s 420,000-square-foot sister island. Currently uninhabited, the island is being built out with brand-new attractions (hopefully on par with the bonkers mode of transport used to get to them). Stay tuned.
