Japan Introduces Walk-in Cooling Booths

Japan Introduces Walk-in Cooling Booths

Japan has created a special cooling booth for people to use when it's very hot.

This booth, called the Do Hiemon Box, is like a small refrigerator that you can walk into.

It blows cool air on your head, neck, shoulders, and back to make you feel cooler.

It's mainly for workers who have to work in very hot places like construction sites or factories.

The booth can cool you down in just a few minutes and turns off automatically after 20 minutes to make sure you don't get too cold.

It uses less electricity than a regular air conditioner and doesn't need any special installation.

The company that made it thinks that if summers keep getting hotter, these booths might become common in public places too.
