Living in a big city can take its toll, and Tokyoites are constantly trying to find ways to cope with the stress that builds up when you are sharing your space with 12 million othe r souls.

One of the latest fads is the “AirPress” oxygen-treatment salon, which claims to be an oasis of stress-free space in the concrete desert of Tokyo. There you can slip into a womb-like capsule filled with a concentrate of 30% oxygen, spiced with stress-relieving aromas.

It would seem, however, that some users might experience even greater levels of stress as they see money flying out their wallets at a rate of 1,000 yen every 10 minutes, which is the price charged by AirPress for an oxygen-treatment session.
