Japanese ‘Net Hotels’

Net Hotels

CNN has a video article (preceded by annoying mandatory 30 sec ad) about the rise of “Net hotels” in Japan. These are living spaces of a scale between capsule hotels and Japanese business hotel rooms. They have just enough space for a few days worth of clothes, a computer, and somewhere to sleep. This niche market caters to the Japanese unemployed who may have lost their homes and property due to bankruptcy etc. Japan sure knows how to sell things to very tagreted demographics.
