It used to be that soaking the entire body in water for a long period of time could be uncomfortable because the water could immediately turn cold. Adding to that is the difficulty of soaking while lying down. But with the emergence of contemporary bathtubs inspired by the Japanese culture, this bathing method is becoming popular in the United States.

Japanese soaking bathtubs are ideal for both inside and outside bathroom applications. They come in various shapes, styles, colors and materials that would fit in any modern home decor. Most soaking tubs are constructed with high quality materials so you should expect them to cost much higher than conventional tubs. But many online retailers are offering discounted prices so take some time to do some comparison shopping.
