TOKYO: A hotel in Japan is defying the digital books trend and appealing to guests who prefer to curl up with a traditional paper book.
Book and Bed Tokyo, a variation of Japan’s famous capsule hotels, offers guests a closet-sized bunk embedded in rows of bookshelves.
The walls, ceiling and most of the decor of the hotel are packed with 3,200 books in different languages.
A common room serves as a lounge for day visitors who can also come to share the experience of reading books together.
« There are many visitors staying in one big space, so we can communicate and feel relaxed, » said student Natsuki Suno, who was taking a break from her studies.
