<\/p>\n
The Osaka Healthcare Pavilion is built around the theme of being REBORN<\/em>, offering visitors a glimpse into the future of healthcare, urban living, and the incredible possibilities of regenerative medicine using iPS cells. As someone who absolutely loves Osaka, I knew this was one pavilion I had to visit\u2014especially since it’s a collaboration between local industry, academia, and government, all bringing their best ideas together.<\/p>\nWhile I was there, I tried the REBORN Experience, one of the most talked-about programs at the Expo. It lets you meet your future self\u2014an avatar based on your current health data. Expo-goers really rave about this one!<\/p>\n
Now, let’s step inside and see what it’s all about.
\nAfter a quick briefing, you\u2019ll receive your REBORN Band, and then you move onto the next stop\u2014the Body Scan Pod.<\/p>\n
![\"Health](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2025\/06\/expo2025-healthcare-pavilion-img02.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Inside the pod, you simply follow the instructions as they appear onscreen, like straightening your back or placing your hands in a certain position. Honestly, it’s so easy to do that you might find yourself wondering, “Wait, that\u2019s it?” But don\u2019t worry, it’s supposed to be easy! Behind the scenes, multiple cameras and sensors are hard at work, measuring seven types of data, including your cardiovascular health, musculoskeletal condition, hair, skin, and more.<\/p>\n
Come Face-to-Face with Your Future Self\u2014An Avatar 25 Years from Now!<\/h2>\n
Once the scan is done, you follow the route to the future ride.<\/p>\n
As the ride begins, a screen on the wall displays images of Nakanoshima Park. I was starting to wonder where we were headed when, suddenly, the bus lifts off into the sky!<\/p>\n
So even buses fly in 2050? Now that\u2019s the kind of future I can get excited about. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The ride takes you through the cityscape of future Osaka.
\nFamiliar sights from today\u2019s Osaka have been re-imagined with a futuristic twist. I really hope the city does actually look like this someday!<\/p>\n
Then, as the ride comes to an end, you arrive at the highlight:
\nthe zone where you finally meet your future self\u2014your avatar for yourself 25 years in the future.<\/p>\n
![\"the](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2025\/06\/expo2025-healthcare-pavilion-img05.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
You can feel the suspense in the air as everyone steps up to the screen, a little nervously, to meet their future selves.<\/p>\n
So… what does your future self look like?<\/p>\n
![\"Your](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2025\/06\/expo2025-healthcare-pavilion-img06.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Meet your future self\u201425 years from now!
\nI heard some people around me saying, \u201cNice to meet you\u2026\u201d to their avatars.
\nIt\u2019s such a strange, surreal feeling to see what you might look like decades from now.<\/p>\n
If this were a theme park, the experience might end here\u2014but this is the Expo!
\nFrom here, you dive even deeper into the future, exploring how you can use your own health data in a next-generation healthcare and urban living setting.<\/p>\n
![\"exhibition](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2025\/06\/expo2025-healthcare-pavilion-img07.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Next, I headed over to the Personalized Food Stand, where they suggest nutrition, ingredients, and recipes tailored to your body\u2019s current condition.<\/p>\n
![\"personalized](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2025\/06\/expo2025-healthcare-pavilion-img08.jpg\")

<\/p>\n
I even got a pack of GABA-infused gummies.<\/p>\n
And that\u2019s not all! There\u2019s so much future-focused healthcare to explore:
\na wearable robot that enhances your physical abilities, a futuristic beauty salon, even a space shower!<\/p>\n
Because everything is so personal and connected to your own body, it\u2019s easy to become totally absorbed. I found myself exploring each and every corner!<\/p>\n
Experience the Future of Food\u2014Drinks Served by Robots at the AIR WATER NEO MIX STAND<\/h2>\n
After the experiential area, I headed to the part filled with future food and culture.<\/p>\n
![\"future](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2025\/06\/expo2025-healthcare-pavilion-img10.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The area is divided into two zones: a Demo Kitchen Area for learning and an zone with food and retail booths for experiencing the magic.<\/p>\n
The Hokka-Hokka, bento box that you can eat one-handed and on the go is very popular. There’s also a rice ball specialty shop called PACKN-TO that is endeavoring to create the ultimate salted onigiri! There\u2019s a wide variety of vendors offering delicious and healthy food options.<\/p>\n
And then I stumbled on something amazing\u2014the AIR WATER NEO MIX STAND!
\nHere, a robot will serve you up a cold, refreshing drink. For real, a robot!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Two robotic arms, moving just like human hands, carefully prepare each drink as it’s ordered.
\nThey even put the lid on. Now that\u2019s some serious work ethic and non-stop action!<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s not just the novelty of robots that makes this stand special.<\/p>\n
The colorful smoothie cubes are made from seasonal ingredients sourced from Hokkaido, frozen into vibrant blocks of flavor.
\nShake them up, and you\u2019ve got a refreshing, original drink that\u2019s as tasty as it is high-tech.<\/p>\n
![\"Myaku-Myaku](\"https:\/\/maido-storage.oss-cn-hongkong.aliyuncs.com\/maido\/uploads\/2025\/06\/expo2025-healthcare-pavilion-img13.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The bottles featuring this adorable Myaku-Myaku design are super cute, too.
\nWhen I asked the staff, \u201cWhich drink is the most popular?\u201d they said, \u201cWell, since this is Osaka, the mixed drinks are the biggest sellers.\u201d<\/p>\n
I happened to have ordered a mixed drink myself. I guess that\u2019s just my Osaka spirit showing. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
By the way, in the Future City Zone of the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion, you can try out exercises tailored to how you\u2019re feeling that day. There\u2019s also the Neo Lifestyle LDK<\/em>\u2014a futuristic kitchen that suggests meals based on your mood and body data. It\u2019s a fascinating glimpse into what life might be like in the future!<\/p>\nFrom “The Game of Life REBORN in 2025” to the Futuristic Human Washing Machine, The Osaka Healthcare Pavilion is an Absolute Must-see!<\/h2>\n
I tried out the Body Scan Pod, but there\u2019s still so much more to see at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion!<\/p>\n
Among the highlights are the virtual reality game \u201cLife Game REBORN in 2050,\u201d set in a futuristic city in the year 2050, and \u201cMonster Hunter Bridge,\u201d an immersive 360-degree theater experience that lets you feel the action all around you.

<\/p>\n
This is the upgraded version of the famous Human Washing Machine<\/em> that was showcased at the 1970 Osaka Expo! It was already creating a buzz even before the Expo even opened.<\/p>\nNot only does it cleanse your body, but it\u2019s said to have the ability to refresh your mind, too!<\/p>\n
There\u2019s so much more fun and excitement to the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion than I can’t fully describe here.<\/p>\n

Can you guess where this is?
\nThe correct answer is Tennoji! If you look closely, you can spot Abeno Harukas in the center background.<\/p>\n
By the way, here\u2019s what the current view looks like from a similar angle.<\/p>\n
