9H is a chain of capsule hotels, notorious across Japan for its spaces in Kyoto, Sendai and Narita, often with practical locations near to train stations and airports. In July 2017, the group opened Woman Kanda in Tokyo, a hotel reserved exclusively for women as a means of allowing them to feel more safe and secure, especially in communal areas such as the shower rooms. The decor is no different to that of other 9H establishments, however the capsules are just a little more spacious!
