Luxurious bathtub manufacturer Aquatica creates ultra-relaxing, neck-deep and rejuvenating experiences with its heated soaking tub that draws inspiration from the Japanese ofuro—"a short, steep-sided wooden bathtub."
Dubbed the 'True Ofuro Tranquility Heated Japanese Bathtub,' Aquatica's product is high-tech and ergonomically advanced. The luxe bathroom jewel comes equipped with an integrated wireless sound system, as well as a mood lighting mechanism that can be used for chromatic therapy. The heated soaking tub keeps the water warm via a system that is closely modeled after a heating device known as oidaki. In addition, the True Ofuro has an "ozone disinfection" option, where the luxe product uses an ultra-quiet pump engineered to keep the water perpetually clean.
