Ofuro

In Japan you take a hot bath in the evening. Period. Gandma "Baba" makes sure no-one misses out. And when it is winter time and freezing cold everywhere it is actually not bad at all.

Before you get into the hot tub, you have to scrub yourself carefully, as everyone will share the same water (normally, one at the time though). And it actually does remain clean. As long as you are clean before you jump in. The high-tech ofuro then, will make sure the water remains the same very hot 42 degrees - or whatever number you peg in, will even talk to you in case of any changes. We are definitely going to put one of these in our future house!
