Preregistration opens for Mirai Human Washing Machine at World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan
Visitors to the 2025 World Expo to be held in Osaka, Japan can preregister to experience the Mirai (future) Human Washing Machine manufactured by Science Co., an Osaka company specializing in ultra-fine spray shower heads.
Science Co. has developed a line of Mirable shower heads that use unique nozzle designs to create very small bubbles of water. The technology cleans skin quickly and gently while reducing water waste, while addressing four of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals: 3 - Good health and well-being, 6 - Clean water and Sanitation, 11 - Sustainable cities and communities, and 14 - Life below water. The company has also created a line of Mirabath baths that utilize its microbubble technology.
The Mirai Machine that will be on display at the World Expo integrates developments from the Mirable and Mirabath products with a new AI-powered biomonitor. The monitor will track a person's heart rate and automatically adjust the water flow and soothing images displayed to help clean the mind of stress.
The company’s automatic body washing machine will be shown 55 years after the original Sanyo Electric Ultrasonic Bus body washing machine prototype was shown at the 1970 World Expo. The Ultrasonic Bus’s developer, Eiji Yamatani, and designer, Manatsu Ueda, provided technical advice to Science Co. during the development of its Mirai Machine.
Readers in America will have to settle for a shower head with high-pressure jets (like this one on Amazon) designed to work under current EPA low-water flow restrictions.

Science Co., Ltd. (Location: Yodogawa-ku, Osaka, Chairman of the Board: Yasuaki Aoyama), which will exhibit the "Mirai Human Washing Machine" at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion at the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo, will start accepting applications in advance for those who wish to experience bathing in the "Mirai Human Washing Machine".
- Body and heart are washed [Mirai human washing machine]
Science has been researching and developing a modern version of the Sanyo Pavilion's "Ultrasonic Bus" (commonly known as the "Human Washing Machine"), which was exhibited at the 1970 Osaka World Expo, as well as the future model of the "Mirai Human Washing Machine." We will change the conventional concept of bathing and exhibit at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion at the Osaka-Kansai Expo as a bathing device that not only washes the body but also the heart. Science's unique technology not only cleans the body by entering the "Mirai Human Washing Machine" but also visualizes the physical and mental state of the bather during bathing based on the heart rate measurement of the bather. From the individual measured values, images tailored to the bathers are projected, and the water flow to the bathers is controlled while observing the reactions, leading to a good bathing environment. We believe that those who have experienced the "Mirai Human Washing Machine" with their whole body will be healed both physically and mentally after bathing, and will be able to feel a rejuvenated feeling. And in order to start recruiting people who actually want to take a bath in the "Mirai Human Washing Machine" at the Expo exhibition hall, we will start accepting applications in advance. We will listen to your opinions, formulate an action plan, and move forward with the realization of a formal bathing experience.
- Legacy of the 1970 Osaka Expo "Human Washing Machine"
The "Ultrasonic Bus" at the Sanyo Pavilion, which was exhibited at the 1970 Osaka Expo, is remembered as a legacy. It is said that it could not be implemented in society, but in the sense of gently washing people, it has been realized as a housing equipment and nursing care device using our fine bubble (Mirable Technology). The "Mirai Human Washing Machine" will be equipped with even more futuristic functions and will be unveiled at the venue of the Osaka-Kansai Expo as a precursor to the future that will be implemented in society in the future. In the development and manufacture of the Mirai Human Washing Machine, Eiji Yamatani, the technical developer of the Ultrasonic Bus, and Manatsu Ueda, the designer, also cooperated as technical advisors.
In order to connect the thoughts of the 70th World Expo to this Expo and to further expand it into the future, we have planned to have many people take a bath in the "Mirai Human Washing Machine" and experience it with their whole body.
