(from the slideshow)

An upper bunk in the capsule hotel costs 59,000 yen a month -- about $640 -- for a space of 6.5 feet by 5 feet equipped with a light, a small TV and coat hooks. But that is far less than the cost of renting an apartment in Tokyo.

Hey Zeeblebot, I spent my last 2 summers in a TiPi, and loved it.
