As the title says, I'll be spending about a month in Japan in the summer. I plan on bringing a backpack and a checked bag with my carry-on inside until I need the suitcase room, at that point I will take it out.
I plan on doing a good amount of shopping, hence the check in bag, if it wasn't for that I wouldn't bring it.
How realistic is it to stay in a capsule hotel or hostels for most of that? I'm planning on mostly staying in them and maybe every couple of days get a room for a night in case of needing to catch up on sleep or just want privacy.
Is it realistic to just book the first couple of nights then just doing the rest as I go?
I've been to Japan before and have spent 3-4 days in a capsule hostel in Taiwan last year.
I feel confident that it's sustainable since I'll be out for most of the day and will be exhausted every night, but would love to hear about other's experiences. I sleep pretty well as long as I have ear plugs and I prefer harder mattresses. And I'm decently young (22).
My main concerns are just fatigue after awhile and being able to store all of my bags.
I'll be bringing my laptop with me so there is a concern with being able to lock it up when I'm out and about.
