Adopting Japanese bath culture has been a transformative experience, especially as temperatures drop in Gifu prefecture. While I’ve always been a shower person, my recent battle with a cold prompted my wife’s recommendation to indulge in a nightly hot bath during the colder season.
As a child in Switzerland, my bath experiences were chilly affairs, but the transition to a modern Japanese bathroom has been a game-changer. The convenience is unparalleled – a simple button press fills the tub, and a cheerful jingle signals when the water is at the perfect temperature of 40 degrees Celsius, adjustable to personal preference.
Our bathroom boasts an air ventilation system that dispenses warm, dry air when things get too steamy, enhancing the overall comfort. Adding to the luxury, my wife introduced onsen bath tablets that transform the water into a picturesque green mountain lake and infuse the air with the refreshing scent of nature.
The finale is just as impressive – with another press of a button, the bathwater gracefully drains while a water jet rinses down the tub automatically. It’s not just a bath; it’s a ritual, a daily blessing in our newly renovated sanctuary.
