Marushin Restaurant, a popular Chinese restaurant in Higashiyama, has installed a "mist shower that doesn't get wet! Comfortable queuing in summer!

The popular Chinese restaurant [Marushin Hanten] (Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture) installed “non-wetting mist showers” starting Friday, July 18, 2025. Beloved by tourists and locals alike, the restaurant is known for having lines form every day, but there had been concerns about the risk of heatstroke during the summer due to customers having to wait in the sweltering heat.
While mist showers are widely used in various locations as a measure against heatstroke, concerns about customers getting wet and contamination by Legionella bacteria had made it difficult to implement them. However, based on forecasts predicting even more consecutive days of extreme heat this year than last, we searched for a supplier offering mist showers that don’t get people wet and were finally able to make it happen.

Marushin Restaurant Mist Shower

According to Mr. Maekawa, the representative of [Marushin Restaurant], “We decided to install this system because, through both third-party inspections and our own voluntary testing, we’ve established a system that ensures our customers can wait in line with peace of mind regarding Legionella bacteria.” The mist shower system features extremely fine particles that vaporize instantly, lowering the perceived temperature without wetting the skin or clothing. You can really feel the ingenuity and thoughtfulness unique to a popular restaurant, all aimed at making summer wait times just a little more comfortable.
