Ofuro Soaking Tubs trace their roots to Japan, where bathing transcends mere hygiene to become a spiritual ceremony. Unlike typical North American or European bathtubs, Ofuro tubs exude a serene, Zen-like ambiance, offering not just physical relaxation but also a profound sense of well-being and unity with nature, often nestled in a tranquil garden or sacred setting. These Japanese tubs serve as sanctuaries for rejuvenation, fostering mental and spiritual equilibrium in a private haven, while also enhancing circulation for overall health. The design of an Ofuro Tub necessitates a deep immersion, requiring a deeper basin compared to conventional bathtubs. Traditionally, the Japanese indulge in soaking sessions in intensely hot water, heated through the gentle, non-electric method of Wood Fired Hot Tub Heaters, ensuring a tranquil experience. Crafted from sturdy cedar, our Ofuro tubs retain heat exceptionally well, thanks to the wood's natural insulating properties, offering a prolonged bathing experience. Made from clear Western Red Cedar, closely akin to the traditional cypress wood of Japan, our tubs boast inherent resistance to decay and bacteria, alongside excellent insulation. Furthermore, the aromatic essence of cedar enhances the sensory journey. Featuring an innovative architectural stainless steel strap system, our tubs effortlessly accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the wood, ensuring durability without the risk of splitting.
