Japanese Soaking Tub in Stainless Steel
The “Soho Bath” is a Japanese soaking tub available from Neo-Metro. They construct the more common examples of wood, they make this model of stainless steel.
Some may argue that the lack of wood takes away from the restorative abilities of the tub and that stainless is not “personal” enough. I will leave that up to the readers to decide. Here is an earlier story we ran on wooden Japanese soaking tubs.
This monster holds 150 gallons of water and measures 42″ x 47″ in diameter. One fact about steel is its ability to keep heat or cold. Recently, metal ice chests have returned that were once popular back in the 1970s. This is an example of how well metal holds heat or cold.
Stainless Steel Japanese Ofuro Soaking Tub from Hammacher Schlemmer
Japanese Ofuro soaking tubs are a traditional wellness concept that relaxes one person in soothing hot water as part of centuries-old daily bathing ritual designed to cleanse the body and calm the spirit.
The walls of the traditional ofuro are high to allow the occupant to be fully submersed providing heat to the neck and shoulders which often hold stress and muscle tension.
This stainless steel tub from Hammacher and Schlemmer has quality features including individually handcrafted construction in the U.S. of 14-gauge 304-grade stainless steel with 18% chromium composition, hand-buffed 3″ thick double-walled metal tub which warms quickly, and eighteen air jets built into the seat and sides to provide streams of water that massage and soothe.

Roberts Hot Tubs Japanese Ofuro Soaking Baths
Zen is in, and the ultimate in visual appeal and bathroom relaxation are Japanese ofuro soaking tubs used for centuries to ease both physical and spiritual tensions. Traditionally “ofuro” baths are a tiny soaking tub, being filled with hot water, then emptied at the end of the evening, barely fitting one person.
This ancient technique of immersion in hot water takes away tensions and stress, soothes muscular pains, and stimulates blood’s circulation. Roberts Hot Tubs has an ofuro and circular wooden tub collection unlike even the Ofuro made in Japan, that do not seep, weep, drip, or leak a single drop of water.
Roberts carefully hand selects each piece of wood that goes into their meticulously made Ofuro giving each side the appearance of only a single board, with no sign how the sides are joined together. They make all Roberts Hot Tubs and Japanese ofuro baths to order there are no standard sizes.
