Ofuro Soaking Tub – Stainless steel. Our original design boasts an infiniti rim tub, stainless steel construction, and floor level infill. Each is designed and fabricated to exacting project specific dimensions.

Modern day bathers love the ability to sit and soak in this superb, contemporary interpretation of olden-style Japanese wooden tub, which provides bathers with a perfectly designed, sculpted bath with internal seat and elevated rim for neck and head support, in which they can immerse themselves up to their neck. Now, the True Ofuro offers bath lovers one more exciting option – the choice of Graphite Black using our award-winning and ground-breaking AquateX™ solid surface composite, around which to create your stunning new bathroom décor. Ofuro is also available with an optional inline water heater and digital control panel with temperature display, which will reduce water consumption and provide for a prolonged soaking experience at very comfortable temperatures.

When our client wanted the design of their master bath to honor their Japanese heritage and emulate a Japanese bathing experience, they turned to us. They had very specific needs and ideas they needed help with — including blending Japanese design elements with their traditional Northwest-style home. The shining jewel of the project? An Ofuro soaking tub where the homeowners could relax, contemplate and meditate.

Inspired by the ancient Japanese tradition of bathing in Ofuros, Aquatica® set out to re-imagine the 'sit and soak' ofuro using the brand's technologically advanced signature AquateX™ solid surface material. The result was the innovative True Ofuro™ deep soaker tub collection. Aquatica’s True Ofuro Mini Japanese soaking tub was designed in response to customers' requests for an even smaller version of True Ofuro soaker tub! This modern interpretation of an ancient Japanese bathing tradition is crafted in Italy from our signature AquateX™ solid surface material. Its space-conscious footprint of 43" x 43" (1090mm x1090mm) makes it an ideal option for condos and small bathrooms, while its tall design provides a deep, full-body soak. True Ofuro Mini features a slightly elevated rim for improved neck and head support, as well as an ergonomic built in seat, allowing the body to be comfortably emerged to maximum water capacity. Optional teak wood step available for easier access into the tub!

True Ofuro™ Tranquility Japanese deep soaking bathtub was inspired by ancient bathing traditions and re-interpreted with a modern solid surface crafted from the brand's technologically advanced AquateX™ material and incorporated an ultra-quiet low-flow/high efficiency heating system so the bather can enjoy a fully immersed hot soak for longer. Included among the multitude of features we built into this innovative, compact 51.5" L x 36.25" W x 33.75" H bathtub are: - 1.5kW (USA)/2kW (Europe/Int'l) water heater with ozone disinfection - Bluetooth audio system - digital keypad (with LCD temperature display for the US) - underwater LED chromotherapy system - discreet integral slot overflow & matching AquateX™ waste cover - ergonomic seating & sculpted head and neck support - teak wooden shelf

Here is a far shot of the beam screens and context photo for them. The various levels are more evident as you walk through the garden and pan through these garden photos. One difficult spot was keeping the back hot tub walls from getting too tall but being able to form a vault for the hot tub beneath the deck. I was excited about my design for the floating steps up from the hot tub, to serve as lounge bench seating with the back of the BBQ plinth acting as privacy as well as the back of the bench and steps. The planters add green and another seating perch and deal with the grading levels I mentioned in other photos.

"Ofuro" (Japanese soaking tub) is solid Hinoki wood (natural finish). With this tub using 82 gallons, special attention was given to selection of a floor mounted tub spout with the highest water flow rate (to insure the water is hot after filled). Photo: Jamie Snavley
