Our Japanese inspired soaking tubs are constructed of beautiful clear vertical grain western red cedar. Whether in a bathroom or outside under the stars, these tubs smell great and will leave you feeling relaxed.
Our smaller one person oval soaker tub makes for an excellent ice bath or cold plunge. This little soaker is also great for places where water or space is at a premium.
The larger 2-person soaking tub, is around 120 gallons. Both pair great with electric heat, or an external Chofu wood stove heater.
If our tubs are to be used indoors, a wet area or shower pan is essential as the tubs will leak initially. The tubs also require ventilation for any steam that builds up. Outdoor installation on a deck or patio requires no extra consideration for spilling water, but you should confirm with a builder that your deck is strong enough for the tub.

This system will allow you to treat and maintain the water to have it ready to go anytime you want to have a soak.
Filled with Each Use
If you would rather not deal with water care and sanitization, you can fill your tub with each use. To do so, you will need an adequate supply of hot water.
A tankless on demand hot water tank heated by Natural Gas or Propane is ideal to ensure your don’t run out of hot water. A large hot water tank, or supply of solar heated water, can also work.

Soaking tubs do not have jets as an option. Their therapeutic benefit is enhanced from silently soaking in hot water. For a time of quiet reflection or to get the creative juices flowing, there is nothing quite like a soaking tub.
The first night we used it, the sky was clear and we could see all of the stars. The only sound was the crackling of the wood stove and the wind in the trees. Your tub fits perfectly into our landscape and it looks like it was made for the spot we put it on. Not only is it a fabulous hot tub, but it is a great conversation piece as well.
