Japan is once again in the headlines for its unique technology. A local company, Science Inc., has introduced a machine that is designed not for washing clothes, but for washing humans. This high-tech device named “Human Washing Machine” was first shown at Expo 2025 and is now being launched in the market.
What does this high-tech bathing capsule look like?
Visually, this machine looks like something out of a science-fiction movie. Inside the capsule—which measures approximately 7.5 feet long—is a comfortable seat where users can sit comfortably and experience a fully automatic wash. This entire process is completed in about 15 minutes.
Easy, thorough cleaning
Instead of relying on traditional water pressure, this machine uses microbubbles and gentle steam. These small bubbles work to remove dirt, oil and dead skin cells from the body. Its most important thing is that the user does not need to do anything; The machine does all this work automatically.
spa like experience
More than just cleaning, this machine also offers a very comfortable experience. It includes soft lighting and soft music to give users a spa-like environment. After the wash cycle is complete, the machine also dries the body automatically, eliminating the need to use a towel.
ability to calm the mind
The company claims that this machine gives rest not only to the body but also to the mind. The sensors installed in it monitor the user’s heartbeat and other body signals. If the user senses any discomfort, the machine can automatically change or stop the process.
Its price will surprise you
For common people, this device is still quite expensive. Its price is said to be around 60 million yen (which is equivalent to more than 30 million Indian rupees). In the initial phase, the company plans to manufacture only 40 to 50 units.
Where can you experience it?
The first unit of this machine has been purchased by a luxury hotel in Osaka, where guests will soon be able to enjoy this unique experience. Apart from this, a demo unit will also be installed in an electronics store in Tokyo so that people can try it themselves.
Will this technology become common in the future?
Thousands of people showed interest in seeing and trying this machine at Expo 2025. However, due to its high cost and limited availability, it is currently out of reach of common households. Still, this technology certainly shows a glimpse of future trends in the field of personal care.
