Around this time of year, a coveted prize is awarded within a niche industry in Japan: the Laundromat-of-the-Year-Award. It’s presented at an industry fair in Tokyo known as the International Coin-Operated Laundry EXPO where excellence in laundromats is recognized within various categories. In our humble opinion, this year’s winners are not as aesthetically pleasing as last year’s, but where they lack in style they make up in concept.
