For travelers in need of smart, affordable, and private accommodation in Japan, net cafés like Kaikatsu Club are quickly becoming a popular solution. This video by Arigato Solo Travel guides viewers through the experience of staying overnight at a modern Japanese internet café – a surprisingly well-equipped, budget-friendly alternative to traditional hotels and capsule accommodations. As hotel prices continue to rise, even for capsule hotels, options like Kaikatsu Club offer a practical and comfortable respite for both business and leisure travelers who need a last-minute or short-term stay.

The video begins with a detailed tour of a typical Kaikatsu Club location. Unlike the stereotypical image of cramped, public internet cafés, Kaikatsu Club offers private, lockable booths, ensuring personal security and privacy throughout your stay. These booths are furnished with comfortable sofas or reclining chairs, desk space, and personal computers. Guests also have access to showers, free drinks, and other amenities, significantly enhancing the value compared to traditional pay-by-the-hour cafés or waiting in crowded public spaces. The flexibility in pricing—with options for hourly or flat-rate overnight stays—makes net cafés an especially attractive proposition for solo travelers and anyone facing a sudden change of plans.

Beyond the accommodations, the video explores nearby Yokohama Chinatown, highlighting dinner options and the vibrant atmosphere of this renowned district. Another point of interest is the historic Yokohama Guan Yu Temple, a significant cultural landmark in the area. To round out the experience, a visit to the Rose Garden at Yamashita Park showcases a peaceful side of Yokohama that travelers may want to include in their itineraries.

Kaikatsu Club’s branches can often be found in major urban centers in Japan, making them a widespread and convenient choice for travelers caught between destinations or wanting to minimize accommodation costs without sacrificing privacy and comfort. Whether you have a late-night arrival, an early morning departure, or simply want a novel experience, a net café stay can add an interesting and practical twist to your time in Japan.
