It is not an equal opportunity world and that is too bad for the ladies in this case. This is a male-only capsule hotel with a spa/sento (onsen), which can mean hanging around with a lot of naked Japanese men. I went on the weekend and it was not very busy. The location is very close to the major temples of Higashiyama in eastern Kyoto and having gone over the Higashiyama mountain three times, even without temples it would be great. It is also ideally situated in Gion, heart of tourist Kyoto. The capsule was very comfortable. Everything is thought of. I thought I had caught them out on missing a detail since there was not toothpaste in the wash area, although toothbrushes were provided...but...when I decided to brush my teeth anyway, the toothbrush -already had toothpaste on it straight from the package-. As for the sento (I am going to assume it is not actually an onsen, i.e. not a natural hot spring) it is fantastic. A bit smaller than some of the "super" sentos I have been in since getting here, but makes up for it in unusual facilities. First night I was able to walk in the snow on the roof and watch snow falling in Kyoto (naked of course), then get in the "medicine bath", then do the "salt sauna". One floor down there are jetted bathtubs, 42-degree (C) large pool, cool pool that I did not try, and sauna that was not unbearably hot, just right. The washing area is outfitted with premium soaps and great plastic back-scrubbing towels. The grooming area, premium hair products etc. Security seemed good although large suitcases would not be able to fit in the narrow lockers. Beds comfortable, some minor disturbance from other guests talking but nothing much. Excellent buffet breakfast included, mostly Japanese style but bread and jam available (oh and boiled eggs). Nice stuffed ham slices, great Kyoto-style curry. Best citrus. I walked from the train station to get here, I guess about two km, with the usual "take unnamed street" directions from Google Maps as applied to Japan. If travelling with luggage I suggest getting bus directions from the helpful info center at the station. Combining this with the "Hoshi Matsuri", which must be one of Japan's greatest spectacles that hardly anybody knows about, a great weekend. One minus that had a plus side, the upper floor was closed on the morning of checkout. The plus side is that this helped me leave, otherwise I might still be there! The "sort of wear a bathing suit" part - for the bashful they seem to have swim trunky things you can wear - and note that while inside the hotel you lock up your clothes and wear a little suit they provide. They also provide socks with a big toe, always wanted a pair of those, now I have two pair since they give new attire every day!…
