Rapid Registration Filling Up

The response to the experience booths has been overwhelming, with the majority of the 205 available slots being filled within just two weeks of the registration opening. In response to this demand, Koala has decided to extend the event period to April 23, 2026. The interior has also been upgraded, enhancing the comfort of the space further.

At the booths, visitors can enjoy a breathtaking journey through Australia's stunning landscapes using the Meta Quest 3 virtual reality headset, all while enjoying the comfort of the CUSHY Sofa Bed. Experience the seamless transition between Work, Relax, and Sleep—a unique opportunity for up to one hour at a time if booths are available.

Unique Survey on Living Conditions

In a recent survey conducted by Koala JP (January 2026), results reveal that over 70% of one-room residents feel they lack a dedicated space to switch their moods. Notably, approximately half of residents in their twenties expressed challenges in transitioning their mindset while sharing the same space for meals, work, and sleep. Additionally, 74.5% of residents have selected smaller living spaces to manage costs, with 78.4% sacrificing the comfort of a sofa due to limited space.

The survey's findings underline how living space restrictions impede a healthy switch-off after a day’s work, leading to unnoticed stress where individuals want to unwind but find it difficult.
