Furo

Furo is a Japanese traditional bath area, often part of a home or a communal setting, designed for relaxation and cleansing. It typically features a deep soaking tub filled with hot water, where individuals sit to relax after washing thoroughly outside the tub. The purpose of a furo is to promote physical and mental relaxation, improve circulation, and provide a peaceful retreat. In Japanese culture, it emphasizes cleanliness, tranquility, and self-care, and is valued as a daily ritual that helps restore energy and well-being.
