Scheduled to be held daily at Future Life Zone at the Expo Venue
This sauna provides a completely new ‘co-creation’ space that embodies a ‘soft and warm’ future society, where the space covered with ETFE film* membrane material that transmits natural light is beautifully illuminated by LEDs and harmonises with the nature of Osaka Bay, which changes with the seasons and time.
*ETFE film: high-performance fluoropolymer rolled into film form. It is attracting attention as a material that can replace glass for new architectural expression.
*The schedule of the event may be changed suddenly due to maintenance of the sauna room.
*Note: The above three are currently preliminary plans for the main events (proposals). Details will be announced separately.
*Event content is subject to change.
