nine hoursBiometric capsule lab
This men-only transit stay doubles as a diagnostic sleep clinic, analyzing overnight rest for travelers on the move.
What it’s good at
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
A covered pedestrian deck connects the entrance directly to Shinagawa Station, placing bullet train platforms minutes away.
The rooms
Molded composite pods have roll-down privacy screens and curved pillows, leaving out televisions to protect uninterrupted sleep.
The showers
Shower booths use TOTO Warm Pillar fixtures to direct a continuous, splash-free column of water that creates a soaking sensation.
How it began

NTT Data partnered with Nine Hours in 2024 to turn standard transit lodging into a functioning sleep laboratory.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
