<div id="urb-ads-toc-box" class="post-ads-toc-box urb-ads-toc" style="display:none;"></div><p>Pronounced &lsquo;do-shi,&rsquo; the <a href="https://do-c.jp/en/ebisu/">&deg;C Sauna + Sleep Ebisu capsule hotel in Tokyo</a> might be light on sleeping space, but it&rsquo;s heavy on steam, offering intimate enclosed sauna rooms shared with other guests or single sauna stalls with customized temperatures. Inspired by Finnish sauna culture &ndash; where access to these sweat-inducing facilities is considered a necessity rather than a luxury &ndash; the hotel literally allows you to immerse yourself in the relaxing ritual.</p>
<p><a href="#" data-featherlight="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/sauna-and-sleep-do-c-ebisu-960x576.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-wide644 wp-image-110794" src="https://weburbanist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/sauna-and-sleep-do-c-ebisu-644x386.jpg" alt="" width="644" height="386"></a></p>

<p>The facility is open 24 hours a day, and there are 162 capsules total (102 for men and 60 for women, with separate saunas.) You don&rsquo;t even have to stay overnight if you don&rsquo;t want to &ndash; the hotel charges by the hour for both the sauna and the sleeping pods, with a full stay costing just &yen;4,500 (about $45.) Once checked in, you head to the sauna and choose your preferred temperature: 20&ordm;, 25&ordm; or 30&ordm; Celsius.</p>

<p>Would you stay at a hotel like this just for the sauna experience, or choose it over a different capsule hotel because of the amenities? It seems like it would be easy to overdo it; 20 minutes at a time is usually considered a reasonable amount of time for most people. But you could always let off some steam, take a cool shower, hang out in your capsule and repeat.</p>

<p>The &deg;C Sauna + Sleep hotel has been open for about a month, and another location will open in the Gotanda area of Tokyo sometime in early 2018.</p>
