Osaka, Japan (The Washing Capsule)
My Settings for Japan's Human Washing Machine
In Japan, you can now buy a capsule that washes people with tiny bubbles. I chose my settings very carefully.
A company in Osaka, Japan, has started selling a human washing machine. You lie in a capsule while tiny bubbles and a fine mist wash you, and sensors check your heart rate. It costs about 60 million yen. An Osaka hotel bought the first one. I chose my settings.
My Settings
- Temperature: Warm, like a hug from a fan.
- Spin: Absolutely not. I checked twice.
- Bubbles: Extra. They’re so small you can’t even see them. I asked for bigger ones, so I could see what I was paying for.
- Music: Me, singing.
- Heart-rate sensor: It said I was very relaxed. I knew that already, but it’s nice to have it in writing.
After the Wash
I came out clean, dry and extremely shiny. The hotel asked what I thought. I said it was the best wash of my life, and I’ve been washing for years.
Then I asked how much it would cost to buy one for myself. They told me the price. My heart rate went up, and the sensors noticed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the price include?
About 60 million yen covers the machine, installation and a year of upkeep. I assume the towels are extra.
Can you get one for your home?
This one is mainly for hotels and spas. I asked about one shaped like a throne. No reply yet.
