Vanwaves Showcases Innovative Sauna Solutions at HCJ2026

Chiba-based Vanwaves, under the leadership of CEO Nagio Fukada, is poised to present its unique sauna solutions at the upcoming HCJ2026, taking place from February 17 to 20 at Tokyo Big Sight. Located at West Hall W1-Q25, their booth will introduce the freshly launched NUBO box sauna alongside the entirely domestic electric sauna stove IRORI.

Hotel operations can greatly benefit from the speed of deployment, and Vanwaves emphasizes this in their offerings. By providing a one-stop solution encompassing everything from the concept design and landscaping to installation and post-launch PR support, they aim to enhance profitability for lodging establishments.

Addressing Common Challenges in Sauna Installation

The journey to a functioning sauna can be fraught with delays due to the multitude of parties involved in the design, exterior work, equipment, and construction process. Distributing communication among multiple stakeholders often leads to longer-than-necessary timelines, resulting in missed revenue opportunities. Vanwaves simplifies this intricate process by consolidating all communications, enabling a quicker transition from concept to operational sauna.

Comprehensive Support for Successful Sauna Implementation

Vanwaves' one-stop solution is more than just equipment sales; it comprises extensive support to increase the success rate of sauna installations. The company offers:

• - Conceptual Design and Planning: Crafting a forward-thinking concept and a detailed installation plan.
• - Landscaping and Flow Design: Ensuring the landscaping aligns with the sauna’s accessibility and aesthetic appeal.
• - Installation of NUBO and IRORI: Seamlessly integrating these products into the hotel’s infrastructure.
• - Post-Installation PR Support: Assisting with promotional efforts through photography, social media engagement, and cooperative promotions.

This full-spectrum approach ensures that the operation team is not simply left with equipment but receives comprehensive support to actively engage customers and drive visitor traffic.

The NUBO Box Sauna: A New Launch

Launching on February 17, NUBO is designed to cater to both indoor and outdoor settings. Historically, box saunas have come with high price tags, deterring installations in residential or commercial spaces. By utilizing a manufacturing base in Vietnam, where quality furniture production is prevalent, Vanwaves has developed the NUBO to be both high-quality and accessible. The production process follows strict quality control measures, managed by a Japanese team overseeing various checkpoints throughout manufacturing.

NUBO Product Details:

• - Name: NUBO (suitable for indoor/outdoor use)
• - Dimensions: Width 1200+ mm / Depth 900+ mm / Height 2000+ mm (customizable in 1mm increments)
• - Capacity: Suitable for 1-4 persons (can be customized for larger groups)
• - Voltage: 200V
• - Power Consumption: Starts at 2.7kW

NUBO installations are available inclusive of construction services to ensure a hassle-free setup.

IRORI Electric Stove: A National Solution

In response to the growing demand for electric stove options in sauna installations, Vanwaves collaborated with a local factory in Ota, Tokyo, to produce the IRORI, a fully domestic electric sauna stove. This initiative addresses concerns over durability and post-installation support typically associated with international products.

IRORI Product Details:
