The Nangakin capsule tower is a tall building at the luxurious neighborhood of Ginza, Tokyo. Only a quick look will quickly reveal it shares little with the other buildings on the street. It was designed as an urban business hotel to provide low cost housing for business men working late in Tokyo during the week.
