Japanese customs are very meditative and I really enjoy their way of life in Japan. With the soaking tubs there are two types (of which their are many varieties within each type) the first is the indoor soaking tub, the second is the Outdoor Japanese Soaking Tub. With the indoor many use these to relax and de-stress away their day’s activities, but the outdoor version is also nice because it brings in the element of fresh air and a more open feel than inside a room with walls. The soaking tubs are invigorating and usually designed for one or two persons.
