Eliminating "Bedridden" States from Japan: Towards a Country Where All People Can Walk on Their Own Feet by 2035
HACCI Co., Ltd., through its foot care salon Arcus More, envisions a society in Japan by 2035 where all people can walk on their own feet, eliminating the bedridden state. They aim to achieve this by integrating foot care into education, promoting regular check-ups for the elderly, and establishing widespread family foot care services, thereby enhancing healthy life expectancy and revitalizing society. While presented as an April Fool's dream, the company is serious about making this vision a reality, believing that changing feet can change lives.

Our company endorses April Dream, which aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of "HACCI Co., Ltd. (Location: Chuo-ku, Tokyo, hereinafter referred to as our company)."
The foot care salon "Tsumekiri to Ashi no Senmon-ten Arcus More," operated by our company, aims to "realize a society where all people can walk on their own feet throughout their lives" as a "dream" initiative.
■ Towards a "Society Where People Can Walk on Their Own Feet Even at 100 Years Old"
While Japan is one of the world's leading long-lived countries, the increasing number of elderly people requiring nursing care or becoming bedridden has become a major social issue. One of the major causes is "falls," and behind that are foot problems (such as nail deformities/thickening, and hardening of calluses).
However, foot care tends to be put off, and currently, the most basic human function of "walking" is not adequately protected.
■ "The Future Norm" Envisioned by Arcus More
We aim to realize the following future:
1. Foot care in compulsory education
We will create opportunities to learn proper nail clipping and foot hygiene management within elementary school education, fostering awareness of foot health from childhood.
2. Widespread adoption of "regular foot check-ups" for the elderly
For individuals aged 65 and older, we will make at least one foot care check-up per year a standard practice, leading to early detection and prevention of fall risks.
3. Establishment of "family foot care"
We aim for a society where foot care salons, like dental clinics, are widespread nationwide for regular visits, continuously protecting foot health.
4. Increased number of people who can walk, revitalizing society
By enabling the elderly to go out on their own feet, it contributes to the revitalization of local communities and the improvement of consumer activity.
■ Expected Changes (Goals) Upon Realization
・Significant reduction in fall accidents
・Decrease in the number of certified care recipients
・Extension of healthy life expectancy (+5 years)
■ Initiatives Towards Realization
Arcus More is already undertaking the following initiatives:
・Foot care treatments (nail clipping, callus care, etc.)
・Visiting services to elderly care facilities and nursing homes
・Awareness activities regarding foot health
Foot care is an important field that directly relates not only to beauty but also to "health" and "quality of life."
■ This is a "dream," but we are serious
This announcement is an April Fool's "dream." However, we have no intention of letting this dream end as a mere ideal.
If your feet change, your life changes.
Being able to walk is freedom itself.
Arcus More will continue to take on challenges to realize a society where all people can enjoy life on their own feet.
