If you haven't already seen it, "Abroad in Japan" visited the Nakagin Capsule Tower back in 2021, and a follow-up video one year later in 2022. They are bittersweet videos, as the tower has since been dismantled in 2022.

I've posted this before, but I regret I never had a chance to see the Nakagin Capsule Tower.

In Andor, season one, Syril Karn's fictional bedroom is clearly inspired by the real life Nakagin Capsule Tower, which was demolished in 2022.

I regret I never had a chance to see the Nakagin Capsule Tower with my own eyes.

The Nakagin Capsule Tower was built in 1972 and demolished in 2022, marking its 50th anniversary. 23 capsules were preserved.

The 13 & 11 story building A & B are twin towers, totalling 140 capsules. Each capsule is ~10 sq m.

I regret I never had a chance to see this tower with my own eyes.
