Why is the bath in the VIP room of Japanese soup a vat?

It turns out that the vat bath is not for VIP guests, but for the whole family! Just kidding, of course, this big barrel Ofuro is for VIP guests, but I believe that if you have the opportunity to go to Japan to soak in hot springs, you can also experience the comfort of this traditional bath locally. After all, you can not only relax, but also feel the charm of Japanese culture!

The big bath tub used for bathing in the VIP room of Japanese soup is actually a traditional bath tub in the famous "bathhouse culture" in Japan, called "of Uro".

In Japan, Ofuro is considered as an important culture and lifestyle. People usually have a small bathtub at home to take a bath, relax and relieve fatigue. In some high-end Japanese hotels or hot spring hotels, they will specially prepare some large Ofuro for VIP guests.

These VIP Ofuro are generally made of natural wood, which can keep warm and keep the bath water warm and comfortable. Moreover, wood also has good hygroscopicity, has a good moisturizing effect on the skin, and makes people feel more comfortable and relaxed.

Therefore, the big wooden barrel Ofuro is not only a part of Japanese daily life, but also a culture and lifestyle they admire and an important part of Japanese hot spring culture.
