• Innovative device allows users to lie inside for a full-body cleaning

• Price of the device is 60 million yen (around 498,000 USD)

A Japanese company has announced the launch of an innovative device that lets users lie inside for a full-body cleaning experience similar to washing clothes, but without spinning, while music plays.

The device gained widespread attention at the Expo in Osaka, attracting long queues of visitors, and is an updated version of a model first showcased at the same Expo in 1970.

A company spokeswoman said the president was inspired by the original innovation when he was just ten years old.

She added that the machine “not only cleans the body but also provides a relaxing experience,” featuring a system that monitors heartbeats and other vital signs during use.

The decision to produce the device commercially came after a U.S. company inquired about its potential sale.

A hotel in Osaka purchased the first unit in preparation to offer the service to guests.

The company said it plans to produce only about 50 units to maintain its unique appeal, while local media reported that the device is priced at around 60 million yen (approximately 498,000 USD).
