Furo (Japanese bath)

A Furo is a traditional Japanese-style bath, typically a deep, wooden or modern tub filled with warm water designed for soaking and relaxation. Unlike showers, the focus of a Furo is on immersed, leisurely bathing, often as an end-of-day ritual. The water is usually kept at a comfortable temperature, and multiple family members may share the same bath, washing beforehand and then soaking to unwind. Furo baths are valued for their calming effect, promoting hygiene, relaxation, and a sense of tradition in Japanese culture.
