Hot tub - an ancient healer

The first reports of a Japanese bath or furodate back to around the 13th century, when the Japanese were inspired by hot springs and the ancient tradition of relaxing there. Now hot tubs are taking over the world.

What makes Furo special is that its active ingredient is hot water, not hot air. It is safer and safer for people with joint and muscle problems. The Japanese bath is also a great alternative to natural hot springs, which unfortunately not everyone can enjoy.

But since time immemorial, it has been a tradition in Japan to relax in hot springs and seek health. This tradition gave rise to a business model in Japan centuries ago - holiday homes were built around hot springs, where people could enjoy the pleasures of hot water and rejuvenate their health.

The more exclusive holiday homes were even built over the springs to offer greater comfort and privacy for the more affluent. This tradition is still honoured by the Japanese, and many family holidays are planned around hot springs. It is also almost impossible to travel in Japan without enjoying the pleasures of the hot springs.

Furo - the soul of the community

But people love comfort, and they also wanted to relax at home. The Japanese, not to be distracted by the distance from hot springs, invented the furo - the heated bath.

The Japanese bath is the soul of the community, where both mind and body can be rejuvenated with a good time. Traditionally, the water in a Japanese bath is between 40 and 42 degrees Celsius, and relaxation in the hot water could last up to 20 minutes. The warmth from the water stays in the body for a long time, and after relaxation you will feel a pleasant rush.

In addition to relaxation, a Japanese bath is good for the blood circulation of the whole body, speeds up the metabolism and removes toxins from the body, making the skin more beautiful. While in the traditional Finnish sauna, toxins are removed by a sometimes breathtaking stench, in the Japanese bath it is the relaxing hot water, which, as mentioned, is safer for the joints and muscles.

By the way, isn't the long life expectancy of the Japanese precisely because of their hot springs culture, with current projections suggesting that half of all Japanese born in 2007 will live to be 107.
