'High-end' model case study: Hotel Niwa Tokyo (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo)
The state-of-the-art hotel laundry system 'wash+ Comfort,' rapidly being adopted nationwide, was developed in 2022 based on feedback from hotel staff. It adapts the proven technology of 'detergent-free washing' + DX from our public coin laundries for the hotel environment. It meets the rising demand from inbound tourism and long-stay guests, reduces staff workload through automation, and contributes to enhancing facility value by achieving 10 of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

★ **Contributes to water conservation** and promotes SDGs through water-saving effects and reduced wastewater pollution.
★ **Standard cashless payment** eliminates the need for staff to handle currency exchange.
★ **Pre-set multilingual support** reduces the burden of assisting inbound guests.
