In Japan, You Will Find Bathtubs Made of Wood

A Japanese bathroom and/or bath is called Furo, a more common form of ofuro. It’s a steep-sided wooden bathtub. You can find them in apartments, houses, and traditional Japanese inns. Ofuro baths are used for soaking or sitting in hot water. They aren’t common in other parts of the world. Unlike a common Western bathtub, the sides of an ofuro bath are square.
