Japanese Hot Tubs

Exclusive summary about Japanese Hot Tubs By Carl Formby

The first time you try a real Japanese bathtub, the experience may be a strange one, especially if you use the bathtub to have a bath in true Japanese-style. Which brings us on to the second point, which is that the water is much deeper than the usual western style tub, and although the baths are shorter the depth of the water will more than compensate for it.

This brings us on to the third point, which is that a real Japanese bathing experience is one which uses very hot water, and that means water which is much hotter than that used in traditional Western-style bathing.

So if you are thinking about buying a Japanese bathtub don't buy it simply to use it like a western tub, but use it as it was made to be used, which means very deep water, and water heated to a temperature that is as hot as you can handle.

Japanese Bathtubs A Tradition For The Future

Exclusive summary about Japanese Hot Tubs By Chisthopher W Smith

A Japanese bathtub, sometimes called an Ofuro, is usually around twice the size of a standard American style bathtub. The Japanese bathtub is rapidly gaining popularity throughout the world. As people become more interested in personal wellbeing and healthy living through homeopathy and natural remedies, the Japanese style of bathing compliments these ideas perfectly.

The original style of Japanese bathtub was always made of wood. Washing, scrubbing and hair washing will take place before entering the bath and soaking for up to one hour in hot water. The body should be clean and pure before bathing as any residual soap or grime will contaminate the waters.

Lastly, the water is very hot - enter the waters slowly and be careful.
