Experience the Future of Bathing with Innovation

The excitement of the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo continues as the Miraikan, officially known as the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, prepares to showcase the Mirai Human Washing Machine. This remarkable exhibit will be part of the "Connecting Pulses Exhibition - Opening the Future with the Expo," beginning on February 18, 2026. The exhibition aims to revisit the advanced technologies in food and healthcare that were presented during last year's expo. The Science Company, headquartered in Osaka and led by CEO Yasuhiro Mizukami, is proud to collaborate on this exhibition by displaying the functional model of the Mirai Human Washing Machine, which was one of the highlights of the Osaka Expo. Through this showcase, the company hopes to demonstrate the potential of its Mirable Technology to create a new public bathing infrastructure.

A Legacy of Innovation

The Mirai Human Washing Machine garnered an impressive satisfaction rate of 98.3% during the Osaka Expo, where visitors had the opportunity to experience firsthand the benefits of this innovative bathing technology. This machine carries the legacy of the original "Human Washing Machine" introduced at the 1970 Osaka Expo, evolving significantly over the past fifty years. Unlike a mere exhibition item, the Mirai Human Washing Machine symbolizes a step towards addressing critical societal challenges such as the reduction of caregiver burden and the enhancement of public health. Through the application of fine bubble technology, the Science Company aspires to transform bathing into an essential societal infrastructure that improves the quality of life for many.
