SCIENCE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, President: Yasuhiro Minakami, hereinafter "the Company"), a next-generation infrastructure company aiming to solve social issues through fine bubble technology, is pleased to announce that on October 1, 2026 (Thu), the "Minoo Onsen Spa Garden," which will reopen after renovation, will feature one "Future Human Washing Machine" utilizing the Company's fine bubble technology, and one bath equipped with the bathing device "Mirabath" for each gender (one for men and one for women). Additionally, the new shower head "Mirable Ex," scheduled for release in July 2026, will be installed in all faucets (68 units). This facility will also be the first general-use facility to install "Mirable Ex" in all shower faucets.

Background of the "Future Human Washing Machine" Introduction

The "Future Human Washing Machine" recorded a satisfaction rate of 98.3%* in last year's Expo experience survey. The Company aims to implement this innovative experience into society, rather than keeping it as a temporary exhibition. In addition to deploying bathing devices for nursing care facilities in 2026, we have been advancing social implementation in various industries, such as introducing "non-wetting mist" utilizing fine bubble technology in locations requiring heatstroke countermeasures.

By introducing the "Future Human Washing Machine" at Minoo Onsen Spa Garden, a hot spring theme park used by many people, we will create an environment where a wider range of generations can experience its value. Through collaboration with Minoo Onsen Spa Garden, we will deliver the future bathing experience of "automatically washing body and mind just by soaking" to more people, creating new value in Japan's bathing culture.

"Future Human Washing Machine" - The crystallization of fine bubble technology that automatically washes body and mind -

The "Future Human Washing Machine" is a next-generation bathing device that revives the "Human Washing Machine," which gained attention at the 1970 Expo, for the modern era with our Mirable technology after 55 years. At last year's Expo, it realized a "future bathing experience" that not only cleans the body without scrubbing but also measures the bather's biological data and plays images and music tailored to their condition.

1 Automatic Body Washing "Soak-and-Wash"

Approximately 12,000 ultrafine bubbles (microbubbles) per 1cc penetrate deep into the pores, adsorbing to sebum and odor-causing substances. The buoyancy of the bubbles lifts and removes dirt. Without scrubbing the body, simply relax in the water to maintain clean, lustrous skin. Furthermore, the gentle stimulation from the bursting microbubbles transfers heat to the body, providing a warm sensation that prevents cooling down even in lukewarm water. Additionally, the Mirable water flow, discharged from 8 points above and 4 points in front, gently cleanses the face and head. It gently washes not only the body but also the face, hair, and scalp.

2 Automatic Mind Washing "Sensing Function"

While you relax, sensors on the back monitor the bather's electrocardiogram, visualizing their physical and mental state during bathing. It creates a more relaxing and refreshing space with images and music, and also serves as an opportunity to understand one's own condition through daily bathing.

Mirabath

A bathing device that generates microbubbles, approximately 1/1000 mm in diameter, at ultra-high density, allowing the bubbles to penetrate deep into pores and gently cleanse the skin simply by soaking in the water. It has already been introduced in various residences, condominiums, hotels, and nursing care facilities. At Minoo Onsen Spa Garden, you can experience "Mirabath" in one location for both men's and women's baths.

Mirable Ex

"Mirable Ex" is the latest model, scheduled for release in July 2026, developed as the culmination of the fine bubble technology that our company has refined for 20 years. The "Ex" in the product name signifies Expo, Extra, and Experience, elevating the technological concept of the "Future Human Washing Machine," which was a sensation at last year's Expo, into a home shower.

Furthermore, it evolves the existing three water flow modes to provide a bathing and cleaning experience tailored to specific care scenes, such as a skin radiance mode, scalp mode, and interdental mode. Because it handles invisible microbubbles, this product pursues "Made in Japan quality" from design and manufacturing to inspection.

We are extremely pleased to be able to introduce SCIENCE Co., Ltd.'s highly anticipated "Future Human Washing Machine" and the latest Mirable technology to "Oedo Onsen Monogatari Minoo Onsen Spa Garden."

While our facility has long been loved as a hot spring theme park, we are confident that with this renovation on October 1st, we will be able to offer a new value of an unprecedented "future bathing experience."

The first-ever introduction of the "Future Human Washing Machine" at a hot spring facility, which was a major topic at the Expo, is expected to be a highlight content that will attract not only existing customers but also new demographics to our facility, serving as a significant catalyst. We hope that many people will experience this special moment that satisfies both body and mind.

Comment: Masaki Hirai, Vice President, SCIENCE Co., Ltd.

The "Future Human Washing Machine," experienced by many people at last year's Expo, will now be introduced at Minoo Onsen Spa Garden. The future bathing experience envisioned at the 1970 Expo is beginning to spread into society after 55 years.

Our company has been advancing the social implementation of future technologies presented at the Expo through the introduction of a model for nursing care facilities and the application of fine bubble technology in food and tourism facilities. This introduction at a hot spring facility further develops these efforts and is a challenge to provide new bathing experiences in various life scenes.

We believe that the value of the "Future Human Washing Machine" and Mirable technology can be experienced by more people precisely because Minoo Onsen Spa Garden is visited by many. We hope this introduction will provide an opportunity to realize the new value and possibilities brought about by fine bubble technology.
